Some people want their vacation to be original and memorable; others are looking for unique natural surroundings and the ability to watch the stars at night. Then there are those, who want a relaxing and luxurious experience with no disturbances and those, who want to come back home telling unbelievable stories about the place they have visited. The team of Luxury Lifestyle Awards can proudly announce that there is a place that combines it all — Hotel Hacienda de Abajo, this year’s winner in the category of The Best Luxury Hotel in the Canary Islands, Spain.

Located in the most important agricultural area of ​​the Canary Islands — the historic center of Tazacorte, on the island of San Miguel de La Palma, Hotel Hacienda de Abajo is a rather unusual place. The existing luxurious resort is the result of a careful restoration of an old 17th-century sugar farm. Hacienda de Abajo’s uniqueness has been officially recognized by the Canaries’ Government: the resort became the first “Emblematic Hotel” in the Canary Islands and an essential part of the land’s historic heritage.

The first thing that meets the traveler’s eye is the unique location: a beautiful coast and turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean, magnificent gardens with lush vegetation, and unbelievable starry skies that persuade people to tell them their most intimate desires. In this magical place, it feels like the ocean connects with the sky and the “sea” of banana plants to form a haven of perfect harmony and tranquility.

The resort consists of four buildings, spread about an exotic garden of the former farm. The new buildings have been harmonized with the original design of the sugar farm, which was carefully restored in 2010-2012 by the architect María del Carmen. It is notable that the dominance of sugarcane was replaced, at the end of the 19^th century, by that of banana plants. The guests of Hotel Hacienda de Abajo are surrounded by some of the world’s most incredible art objects: tapestries with French and Flemish pieces from the 16^th-18^th centuries; Chinese sculptures, furniture and porcelain from the Tang to the Qing dynasties; European furniture from the 17^th-19^th centuries; delicate religious carvings from the 16^th-19^th centuries, a valuable art gallery with works from the 15^th-20^th centuries, and more. This is yet another reason why the esteemed experts of Luxury Lifestyle Awards believe Hacienda de Abajo is a unique and outstanding resort, worthy of special recognition.

The guests of Hotel Hacienda de Abajo will not only enjoy a calm and relaxing vacation, thanks to the resort’s “adults only” concept, but will also be amazed by all the luxury that surrounds them, both natural and created by man. From the lavish rooms to an atmospheric outdoor pool with trust-based snacks (guests log in their purchases themselves); from a completely mesmerizing Bath House (Spa) to an opportunity to celebrate a special event in “La Capilla”, an unconsecrated chapel, equipped with audiovisual resources, — the professional team of Hotel Hacienda de Abajo has about every trick up their sleeve.

A perfect vacation should definitely be complemented by perfect food. For this purpose, the exquisite El Sitio restaurant offers gourmet dining at the world-class level. The guests have a chance to learn about the cuisine of the Canary Islands from the best, while enjoying the incomparable views of the Atlantic Ocean. A vacation at Hotel Hacienda de Abajo is definitely an experience, in which nothing is missing.
