La Palma Honeymoon, Spain

Consider a honeymoon or romantic getaway holiday on peaceful La Palma – the greenest and arguably most authentic of the Canary Islands, more commonly known as La Isla Bonita (the pretty island).

Unspoiled and tranquil, La Palma is a UNESCO-listed World Biosphere Reserve and the perfect island for escaping the crowds and getting close to nature – flora and fauna on La Palma includes species endemic to the island.

Things to do and see
Explore a cliff-fringed coast indented with classic black-sand beaches or follow inland hiking trails through lush pine-clad mountains dotted with prehistoric rock carvings and small, picture-perfect pastel-shaded villages. Relax under the swaying palms on black-sand beaches at Los Cancajos and Puerto Naos.

Hike across one of the world’s largest volcanic calderas at the Caldera de Taburiente, where you can also stargaze from one of the observatories at El Roque de los Muchachos.

Stroll through Laurel pine forest at Los Tiles, enjoy panoramic vistas from the Mirador de La Cumbrecita and examine prehistoric Guanche rock carvings at La Zarza Park and Belmaco.

Relax at one of the street cafes in charming Santa Cruz, then explore quaint streets lined with pastel-coloured houses adorned with traditional wooden doors, shutters and balconies festooned with colourful flowers. Alternatively, hire a car to explore the lush green mountains in the north and the arid volcanic cones in the south.
