La Palma Airport is located 8km south of Santa Cruz de La Palma in the Canary Islands on the island of La Palma, which has been fondly given the nickname of ‘The Pretty Island’ and is also sometimes known as ‘The Green Island’. Its unspoilt, rich and natural landscapes generously offer spectacular views you’ll never want to forget.
There is much to explore around La Palma Airport, from a tropical rainforest to the volcano route, which is a demanding walk but well worth the effort. There is even an astrophysics observatory for those interested in astronomy, physics and the night sky. The beach resort of Los Cancajos provides a lovely place to relax and offers a family-friendly children’s play area, sheltered bays, sun loungers, bars, restaurants and water sports. It is also said to be one of the best spots on the island for snorkelling and diving. The hillside village of Brena Baja will also be worth a visit, with its gardens and beautiful coastal views making it ideal for a peaceful, gentle stroll.
It’s your holiday and it’s hoppa’s job to make it as easy from the beginning as possible. Our La Palma Airport transfers offer reliability, affordability and comfort so you can reach your resort hassle free and ready to recharge.
