Whether you want beachfront apartments to rent in La Palma or perhaps villas with a pool in Spain in a quiet pastoral locale there is a variety of accommodation available to rent direct. La Palma is for the most part unspoilt, and is heaven for those who like nature and hiking in the countryside. Other outdoor activities which are favourites with visitors include scuba diving, cycling, horse riding and paragliding.

If you want to book beachfront apartments to rent in La Palma the main beaches are at Puerto Naos, Tazacorte and Los Cancajos. However if you have come to the island to go scuba diving there are plenty of holiday villa rentals available at various locations.

Many visitors who book privately owned holiday villa rentals here come to enjoy a walking holiday exploring the varied landscapes of this beautiful island. La Palma is renowned for its fantastic network of well-marked hiking trails. Popular trails include the volcano route and an interesting walk circling the Caldera de Taburiente often on its very rim. You do need to bring or hire proper hiking gear, particularly good hiking boots, as some paths include places where you will be walking on hardened lava. This can have sharp edges so you need to ensure that your boots have durable soles. If hiking is not your cup of tea then you may prefer to do nothing more strenuous than lift up a cold drink while relaxing outside your apartment or villa holiday rentals in Spain!

Santa Cruz de La Palma, the capital and the island's main port, still has many elegant 17th and 18th century houses built in the typical Canarian style. There is not much in the way of tourist accommodation here and if you were looking for holiday villa rentals you would have to search further afield. Santa Cruz is worth a visit as it has some interesting historic buildings, museums and some good specialist shops where you can find local arts and crafts, clothing and locally produced high quality handmade cigars.
