Luxury hotel holiday Hotel Hacienda de Abajo La Palma

Set amidst banana trees on the rocky, black-sand coast of La Palma, the Hotel Hacienda de Abajo is an Emblematic hotel with a very traditionally Canarian feel and five star facilities. The unique pink/red exterior of this exclusive Spanish hotel gives way to light, airy rooms that command the gentle sea breeze and the natural open air. Traditional local food is served in the excellent restaurant, just as every inch of the hotel pays homage to the beauty of the Canary Islands. Use this holiday to explore one of the Canaries' less-touristy islands, discovering volcanic craters, black sandy beaches, and tropical forests.
