Meliá La Palma opened its doors on November 1st, after completing a major refurbishment of the old Sol La Palma* hotel in Puerto Naos.

Now part of the Meliá Hotels & Resorts portfolio, the property offers 308 hotel rooms and 165 apartments at Affiliated by Meliá. It also offers one of Meliá’s most exclusive services: The Level.

Other amenities include an infinity pool that visually merges with the ocean, and an exclusive astronomical observatory where guests can discover the night skies of La Palma, which is widely regarded as one of the best destinations in the world for star gazing.

The dining and drink options at Meliá La Palma have also been fully updated. Mosaico, the hotel’s main restaurant, offers a fusion of both international and local flavors, using “zero-kilometer” ingredients. Cape Nao serves Mediterranean cuisine along with sea views. La Taquería La Hacienda delivers an authentic Mexican experience. And the Lobby Bar Boreal is a laid-back space offering a large selection of drinks and cocktails.

The hotel also has large facilities for all kinds of events, including two meeting rooms with capacity for 80 people, two conference rooms with space for 250 people, and another for 34 people, plus a modern auditorium that can hold up to 500 attendees.

The opening of the property signals Meliá’s commitment to the revitalization of tourism on the island – the most northwesterly in Spain’s Canary Islands – after the volcano eruption in 2021.

In line with that commitment, part of Meliá La Palma’s refurbishment includes a special partnership with the Canarian artist Erika Castilla, who has produced three exclusive pieces that reflect the essence of the island with a minimalist and figurative style. These illustrations adorn the walls of the hotel’s Discovery Center and are also available on a range of limited-edition products, including tote bags, postcards and notebooks.

The hotel is operated by Meliá Hotels International and owned by ATOM, who invested almost 4 million euros in the transformation of the property.

 

*On September 19, 2021, a volcanic eruption forced 650 people to leave the old Sol La Palma hotel in one of the island’s largest ever evacuation operations. The hotel then remained closed due to force majeure, becoming a key focus of collaboration and solidarity for those in the area affected by the eruption. The hotel has now reemerged as Meliá La Palma, representing a new stage for the island and its tourism model, with even higher standards in terms of quality, sustainability and premium experiences.
