Family holidays to La Palma

Stay in Fuencaliente

The hotels in Fuencaliente are far and few between — but that’s the way families like it. It means that accommodation tends to be All Inclusive, bundling together pools, restaurants, bars and activities.

Watch out for whales

This patch of the Atlantic Ocean goes down well with whales, hosting a bunch of humpback and pilot whales year-round. Even blue whales — the largest animal ever recorded — swing by from time to time.

Slurp ice-cream on Charco Verde Beach

The most peaceful beach in Puerto Naos, Charco Verde, sits just outside the city limits. There are only a few sunloungers and an ice-cream kiosk, so remember to bring supplies.

Explore Caldera de Taburiente National Park

Perfumed pine woods, sun-warmed waterfalls, fern gullies and deep ravines map the Caldera de Taburiente National Park. You’ll find its visitor centre and trails smack-bang in the middle of the island.
