Apartments on La Palma: Self-Catering, Long Stays, and Freedom

Anyone staying on La Palma for more than a week will eventually consider an apartment. The reason is simple: an apartment with a kitchen often costs less per night than a hotel, allows you to shop at the farmers’ market instead of eating out every day, offers more privacy — and with the right choice, more space and a balcony with sea views. La Palma’s accommodation landscape caters well to this: apartment complexes in Los Cancajos and Puerto Naos, plus individual holiday flats in almost every municipality.

Los Cancajos (East Coast)

Los Cancajos has the largest selection of classic apartment complexes on La Palma. Many properties are just a few minutes’ walk from the beach and come with a pool, kitchen, and balcony. With restaurants, supermarkets, and a short distance to the airport, it’s ideal for short and medium-term stays.

Tazacorte and the Aridane Valley (West Coast)

Those who prefer the sunny west side will find plenty of holiday flats and apartments in Puerto de Tazacorte, Tazacorte, and Los Llanos de Aridane. The region combines long hours of sunshine with good restaurants, shops, and short distances to the island’s main attractions.
