La Palma ~ The pearl of the Canary Islands
La Palma – ‘La Isla Bonita’, the most beautiful of the Canary Islands – is a place that is both tranquil and breathtaking. Whilst other Canary Islands are dominated by mass tourism, La Palma has largely remained as it always was: green, unspoilt and imbued with an almost meditative calm. As a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, it protects its natural environment – dense laurel forests, deep gorges, volcanic landscapes and crystal-clear waters.
Die “Caldera de Taburiente” ist der größte Erosionskrater der Welt. With a depth of up to 2,000 metres and a circumference of 7 km at the upper rim of the crater, numerous cascades from the only river in the Canary Islands that flows all year round, and breathtaking rock formations, it is therefore one of the island’s top hiking destinations.
The Roque de los Muchachos – at almost 2.500 metres, the highest point on the island – is home to one of the most important observatories in the world. An exceptionally clear starry skyalso unfolds above our Vidyamor oasis, which can become a special experience thanks to the low light pollution in our valley.
Hardly any other island in the Canaries brings together such a variety of landscapes and natural atmospheres in such a small space such a variety of landscapes and natural settings. Due to the significant differences in altitude, the orientation of the mountain slopes and the influence of the trade winds, a wide variety of microclimates are created. Whilst the sun is shining on one side of the island, just a few kilometres away clouds may already be hanging over the mountain slopes or thick fog may be rolling through the woods. It is precisely these ever-changing landscapes that give the island its special charm.
La Palma – an island full of contrasts
The mountain scenery around the Cumbre is particularly impressive. Above El Paso, dark volcanic soil, lush green Canary Island pines and vast mountain landscapes alternate. Wenn die weißen Wolken über den Bergrücken ziehen und sich langsam über die Cumbre senken, entsteht ein faszinierendes Naturschauspiel.
Sometimes it seems as though a sea of clouds is flowing over the mountains. The combination of volcanic landscape, pristine pine forests and this ever-changing atmosphere the highlands into one of the most beautiful places for hiking, marvel at and take a moment to reflect .
Yet the landscape is constantly changing. At the heart of the island lies the vast Caldera de Taburiente, with its deep gorges, steep rock faces and extensive pine forests.
Elsewhere, paths wind their way through damp, almost fairy-tale-like laurel forests, where ferns, mosses and ancient plant species create a world of their very own. Further south, the landscape becomes barren and unspoilt once more: black lava fields, volcanic cones and reddish-brown rock formations serve as a reminder that this island has been constantly reshaped by its volcanic history.
It is precisely these contrasts that give it its special charm. In no time at all, you can go from a lush forest to an unspoilt volcanic landscape, hike along mountain ridges with sweeping views, or enjoy the lush vegetation in the peaceful valleys. Every landscape has its own character and its very own atmosphere.
This diversity is also something special for hiking enthusiasts. There are numerous trails leading through pine forests, across ancient volcanic landscapes, along the rims of craters or through deep gorges. Some walks offer sweeping views across the Atlantic, whilst others take you right into the heart of a tranquil, unspoilt natural landscape.
And then there are those special moments when the landscape suddenly falls completely silent: when the clouds lie below the mountain peaks, when the last rays of sunshine touch the volcanic slopes, or when only the wind rustles through the pine trees. Perhaps it is precisely this combination of power and tranquillity, of unspoilt nature and vibrant diversity, that gives this island its special charm.
Experience yoga retreats and fasting holidays on La Palma featuring local fruit: the island produces an extraordinary variety of tropical fruits – mangoes, papayas, avocados, bananas – all fresh, locally sourced and organic. Perfect for detox yoga and therapeutic fasting.
The mild climate of the Canary Islands makes La Palma an ideal place for yoga, wellness and inner reflection all year round.
The west side of the island is particularly favoured by the climate, as it receives more sunshine than the east. At sea level, the temperatures are pleasant and even throughout the year – even in summer it is usually pleasantly mild thanks to the Atlantic breeze.
The coasts of La Palma also invite you to linger. The sea remains mild and pleasant all year round, the water temperatures rarely fall below 20 degrees and tempt you to swim at any time of year. Afterwards, you can experience impressive sunsets on the quiet beaches, ending the day in a special, tranquil atmosphere.
