Disaster Strikes Canary Islands: La Palma Filming Location in New Netflix Show

A winter getaway to the Canary Islands might just be the perfect escape you need, especially when you’re dreaming of sun, sand, and relaxation. The new Netflix series La Palma takes viewers on a thrill ride as a family vacation turns into a disaster due to a volcanic eruption. Despite the chaos on screen, don’t let that deter you from planning your own vacation to this beautiful destination.

La Palma, the island featured in the show, is a stunning location off the coast of West Africa. From the scenic views at the regional airport to the intense moments during the volcanic eruption, almost all of the key scenes were filmed on this picturesque island. A few scenes were also shot on the neighboring island of Tenerife at the Labranda Isla Bonita Hotel.

If you’re planning a visit to La Palma, consider traveling in May or June for the best prices. However, if you’re a beach lover, July and August offer the warmest weather for soaking up the sun. To get around the island, renting a car or using the local bus system is recommended. And if you’re thinking of exploring other Canary Islands, be sure to check out the ferry options for convenient travel.

For fans of La Palma looking to experience the magic in person, flying into the island is easy with direct flights from neighboring countries and other Canary Island airports. Despite the chaos portrayed in the show, the island itself offers a relaxed and serene atmosphere that every traveler should experience. To ensure a hassle-free trip, be sure to book your flights in advance.

Once you arrive, there’s no shortage of things to do on the island. Explore the rich history of La Palma at Casa Museo del Vino Las Manchas or take a refreshing swim in the natural waters of Charco Azul or Piscinas de la Fajana. And when it comes to dining, indulge in fresh seafood and Mediterranean dishes at Restaurante Casa Del Mar Tazacorte or treat yourself to a luxurious meal at one of the Michelin-star restaurants like Casa Osmunda.

If you’re looking for a place to stay, the upscale Labranda Isla Bonita Hotel in Tenerife is a popular choice, offering easy access to the beach and airport. For a more budget-friendly option, consider Hotel Benahoare or The El Paso in La Palma for a trendy and comfortable stay. No matter where you stay, La Palma promises a memorable and enchanting vacation experience that you won’t soon forget.
