Accommodation
El Hierro

Set between volcanic mountain and ocean on the black-sand beach of Las Playas, this secluded parador charms divers and silence lovers, with a pool facing the Atlantic and refined Canarian cuisine.

Spain's westernmost hotel, built beside a mineral-medicinal spring renowned since 1949. Spa, thermal treatments and Atlantic sunsets make it a singular wellness escape.

A small family-run hotel overlooking the spectacular El Golfo valley, prized for its panoramic pool, sea-view rooms and warm welcome, between natural pools and hiking trails.

A simple, practical aparthotel in the heart of the capital Valverde: studios and apartments with kitchens, great value, a handy base near the shops and the airport road.

A Guinness-record holder as one of the world's smallest hotels, this historic building perched on a wave-battered lava tongue offers four rooms of utterly unique maritime charm.

An intimate rural hotel in a traditional Canarian house in the island's north: volcanic stone, a peaceful garden and an authentic feel, perfect for exploring Valverde and the viewpoints.
