Facing east, the 44,000 square metre La Palma Parador is unrivalled. Native plants, imposing ornamental species and fruit trees spill over a gentle slope that falls down towards the Atlantic. Bridges and waterfalls highlight the beauty of the setting, criss-crossed by many inner trails. On the upper level and facing in the same direction, is a generous swimming pool, a well-protected playing area and the enviable restaurant terrace.As for the building itself, its lines are those of typical Canary Island architecture, with a four-sided tiled roof and balconies finished off with wooden balustrades. It has 72 spacious, comfortable double rooms in the best tradition of the Parador chain.This accommodation was one of the first to take its inspiration from the island skies to theme its services. From time to time, it organises a series of successful G-Astronomic Dinners, in which the award-winning team headed up by Manuel Martín takes its inspiration from the planets of the Solar System to guide its culinary creations. Mars, for example, is a salmon sashimi, while the craters of the Moon are reflected in delicious balls of cheese and anchovy. The dinner concludes with star gazing organised by professional guides.On the other hand, on any night of the year, guests can ask in reception for star maps and binoculars. A specific observation area has been set up in the Botanic Gardens, sheltered in a wrought iron bower.
