Getting here
“Isla Bonita” — the beautiful island.By plane or ferry to La Palma.
How to reach us
La Palma, the “Isla Bonita”, is one of the westernmost Canary Islands. The easiest way is by plane; with more time you can combine a flight and the ferry. On the island we recommend a hire car.
La Palma airport (SPC)
Depending on the season there are direct flights with Lufthansa, Eurowings, Condor and others; Iberia flies daily via Madrid (~2.5 hrs from Madrid). From the airport it's about 57 km, just over an hour, to Puntagorda.
Via Tenerife
To bring your own car, travel via Tenerife: Fred. Olsen Express sails from Los Cristianos to Santa Cruz de La Palma in about 2.5 hrs, Naviera Armas in about 3 hrs 15 min. From there, continue to the north-west.
