El Hierro


The westernmost of the Canary Islands it’s a place far removed from the mass tourism with approximately 10,000 inhabitants. In fact, El Hierro it’s still largely untouched by the menacing hand of man. More importantly, it’s an example of sustainability as it uses 100% renewable energy.

Among this solitude, there’s no better plan for a couple than staying at the smallest hotel in the World, the Puntagrande Hotel. Sitting on a tongue of lava rock surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, this hidden paradise with only 4 rooms doesn’t have typical 5-star features, but you’ll find another kind of richness that satisfies the most demanding souls. Relax at its best!

La Graciosa


La Graciosa is, probably, the most unknown of the Canary Islands. In fact, it was only in late 2018 when the regional government officially declared it as the eight island of the archipelago. With less than 1,000 residents and still depending a lot on neighbouring Lanzarote, La Graciosa is a natural wonder both you and your partner won’t want to miss.

Be advised that the only way to get to La Graciosa is by a 30 minutes boat trip, but the reward is an empty paradise. Say goodbye to flip flops and be ready to enjoy its virgin beaches to the fullest. Also, don’t you dare leaving the island without exploring it by bicycle and trying the local fresh fish offered by the few restaurants on the island!

Why coming to the Canary Islands for a romantic weekend break?


Aside from the countless reasons to pick the Canaries as a romantic destination, the best one is its closeness to most European countries. With a short trip you’ll get to a place with the eternal spring, so if you want to get away from the rough winter, the Canary Islands will give you such a mild weather that you won’t want to leave anytime soon!

In addition, it’s a far cheaper destination than going to typical destinations like Paris, London, Rome, or even the Côte d’Azur. Obviously, there are cheaper places, but the security of enjoying a romantic weekend break with the security of being in a European Union country is priceless!
