HOTEL HACIENDA DE ABAJO~The first emblematic hotel in the Canary Islands
Tourism Medal for Sustainability and Quality~Hispania Nostra Award for Best Practices in the Conservation of Cultural and Natural Heritage
Nestled in the historic quarter of Tazacorte on the island of La Palma, the most important agricultural area in the Canary Islands, the Hotel Hacienda de Abajo is the result of the meticulous restoration of a seventeenth-century sugar plantation estate. What's more, its uniqueness has been officially honoured by its classification as the first emblematic hotel in the Canary Islands.
The hotel is surrounded by a landscape of lush and rich vegetation, embraced by a coastline lapped by an ocean of pure and intensely blue waters and blessed with a warm and sunny climate with profusely starry nights. And here in this blissful environment, a series of buildings that were the hub of prosperous trade between Flanders, Andalusia and the West Indies, today featuring valuable artistic collections and splendid gardens of botanical rarities, open their doors to give the most enthusiastic welcome to you, the guest.
It was in Tazacorte where the Castilian conquerors landed in 1492 and built the first settlements in the Aridane Valley, as this was the location of the most fertile lands, the Tazacorte River and La Caldera, the only watercourse, and a coastline that provided accessible communications with overseas. Sugarcane soon became the main crop of the Hacienda de Abajo, located in Tazacorte, which is the first, the oldest, the richest and the most productive sugar plantation in La Palma, as evidenced by Professor Jesús Pérez Morera.
The hotel has thirty-two rooms (from 32 to 74 m²) exquisitely decorated with works of art from the first to the twentieth centuries, most of them with a balcony, terrace or garden.

Curating the art collection involved a complex process of classification, conservation and restoration by two expert restorers, while a painter took charge of the meticulous decoration of frescoes and trompe-l'œils in the hotel rooms.
More than 1,300 works of art adorn the hacienda, the largest contribution of artistic heritage to the island of La Palma since the seventeenth century. The interiors of the Hotel Hacienda de Abajo echo the rich content of the homes of the hacienda owners from centuries ago. Opulent objects from trade exchanges across the globe were imported from the sixteenth century onwards. Antwerp (the international hub of the sugar trade), Seville and the Indies were the source of tapestries, furniture, devotional imagery, mirrors, paintings and carved silverware, while delicate Chinese porcelain was brought in from the voyages that began with the Manila Galleons and continued with the Spanish Treasure Fleet. Today, works of art from around the world adorn the rooms and guest areas of the resurrected hacienda, such as valuable French and Flemish tapestries from the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries (the best collection in the Canary Islands), alongside outstanding pieces dating from the fifteenth century, Chinese porcelain and statues from the Tang, Ming and Qing Dynasties, European religious carvings from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, and a whole host of other opulent objets d'art.
With outstanding views over the Atlantic Ocean, the ethereal El Sitio restaurant is where extraordinary flavours, intoxicating aromas and subtle nuances come together to create a gourmet offering that fuses local culinary traditions with rich and elaborate international influences.
