Hotel Hacienda de Abajo

Tazacorte | Canary Islands

⭐⭐⭐⭐

 
Escape to the tranquil charm of Hotel Hacienda de Abajo, a characterful boutique hideaway on sun‑kissed La Palma. Housed in a lovingly restored 17th‑century sugar estate, this adults‑oriented gem is filled with art, antiques and Canarian heritage. Wander through fragrant botanical gardens, relax by the palm‑shaded pool and retreat to elegant rooms that feel more like a private residence than a hotel. With a small spa, refined dining and a peaceful, grown‑up ambience, it’s a wonderful choice for couples seeking somewhere genuinely special and a little bit different from the mainstream Canary Islands resorts.

Think terracotta‑tiled roofs, banana plantations and bougainvillea‑draped walls, all wrapped around an old hacienda that looks straight from a film set. Hotel Hacienda de Abajo feels more like a private historic estate than a typical resort, with original artworks, antiques and museum‑worthy pieces at every turn. Outside, botanical gardens burst with colour, while the serene pool and petite spa add just the right amount of indulgence after a day exploring La Palma’s volcanic landscapes and star‑filled skies.

For couples seeking the Canary Islands’ authentic side, Hotel Hacienda de Abajo delivers a quietly luxurious base away from the big‑resort buzz. Set in laid‑back Tazacorte on La Palma’s warm, sunny west coast, it’s around 1 hour 5 minutes from La Palma (SPC) airport. You’re a short stroll from local bars and restaurants and a quick hop down to the black‑sand beach at the port. See more Canary Islands holidays.

Restaurants and Bars

El Sitio Restaurant is the hotel’s intimate à la carte venue, serving a refined mix of international, Spanish and French dishes for lunch and dinner, often with a creative twist that matches the property’s artistic feel. Expect carefully presented plates, local ingredients and good wines – ideal for unhurried evenings after a day exploring the island.

The cosy The Bar doubles as a coffee bar and relaxed spot for pre‑ or post‑dinner drinks, typically open from late afternoon into the evening.

A smart dress code may apply for dinner and restaurant opening times, menus and inclusions can vary by season and board basis. Reservations may be required for El Sitio, and some items or special dinners may incur a supplement.

There is no beach directly at the hotel, but the black‑sand bay at Puerto de Tazacorte is around 2km away, with a sheltered swimming area and a promenade lined with bars and restaurants. Local buses, taxis or a short drive make it easy to combine days in the town with time by the ocean.

Practical Info

Resort insights – Tazacorte, La Palma
Tazacorte is a sun‑drenched town draped down the hillside to its photogenic port, known for rainbow‑painted houses, banana plantations and more sunshine hours than almost anywhere else in Europe. Down by the harbour you’ll find a broad black‑sand beach, scuba centre and boat trips for dolphin‑spotting or coastal cruising, plus excellent fish restaurants lining the waterfront promenade.

La Palma loves a fiesta – Tazacorte hosts the colourful Love Festival, an LGBTQ+ celebration with music and parades, and the much‑loved Caballos Fufos festival each September. Away from town, explore miradores like Mirador de Las Hoyas for sweeping views, hike ravines and laurel forests, or visit quirky attractions such as the local banana museum.
