Meliá La Palma has officially reopened following a transformation that saw nearly 4 million euros invested in its refurbishment. Formerly known as Sol La Palma, this revamped property now joins the Meliá Hotels & Resorts portfolio, bringing a fresh level of sophistication to the island’s hospitality landscape. Located in Puerto Naos and surrounded by lush banana plantations, it boasts breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, making it an ideal destination for travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure amidst La Palma’s natural beauty.
The property’s prime location provides guests with easy access to explore the island’s volcanic terrain, starlit skies, and iconic black sand beaches. It serves as a gateway to the wonders of this Biosphere Reserve, all while offering world-class accommodations. Guests can choose between 308 elegantly refurbished rooms at Meliá La Palma and 165 spacious apartments in the nearby La Palma Affiliated by Meliá building, creating a combined offering of over 500 units.
A standout feature of the resort is its stunning infinity pool, which blends seamlessly with the ocean, offering a tranquil spot to bask in the Canary Islands’ famously pleasant climate. The rooms and suites are thoughtfully designed to prioritize comfort and style, ensuring a serene retreat. For those intrigued by the night skies, the hotel boasts an exclusive astronomical observatory, capitalizing on La Palma’s reputation as one of the world’s premier stargazing destinations.
Meliá La Palma’s dining options have been thoughtfully curated to provide a superior gastronomic experience. Mosaico, the main restaurant, showcases a fusion of international and local flavors with a focus on locally sourced ingredients. Cape Nao offers Mediterranean cuisine paired with ocean views, while La Taquería La Hacienda serves authentic Mexican dishes. For those seeking a laid-back ambiance, Lobby Bar Boreal presents an extensive menu of drinks and cocktails.
The hotel caters to both leisure and business travelers with versatile event spaces, including two meeting rooms for 80 attendees, two conference rooms accommodating up to 250, and a state-of-the-art auditorium with a 500-person capacity. To celebrate its connection to the local culture, Meliá La Palma partnered with Canarian artist Erika Castilla, whose minimalist artwork graces the hotel’s Discovery Centre. Guests can purchase limited-edition items featuring her designs, such as tote bags and postcards.
With Meliá La Palma, the brand has also introduced “The Level,” an elevated service designed for maximum comfort and privacy. This premium concept includes rooms with panoramic sea views, personalized services, access to exclusive lounges, and a dedicated check-in and check-out process. It’s tailored for travelers seeking an extra touch of luxury in an exceptional setting.
The reopening of Meliá La Palma marks a significant milestone in the revitalization of tourism on the island, particularly in Puerto Naos, which was heavily affected by the volcanic eruption of 2021. The eruption, which prompted the evacuation of 650 guests from the former Sol La Palma hotel, left a lasting impact on the community. Following a period of closure and temporary operations under the Sol brand, the property has been reborn as Meliá La Palma, reflecting a renewed focus on quality, sustainability, and premium experiences.
