Transport and getting around
The airport is located on the eastern coast of La Palma and is accessible by road via the LP-5, which connects with the island’s road network. Buses, taxis and car rental services are available. When travelling to other parts of the island, particularly the west and north, passengers should take into account possible transfers and longer road journey times.
Taxis operate under regulated fares that depend on the destination and time of day, with applicable airport surcharges.
Taxis are particularly convenient for reaching accommodation directly, travelling with luggage or visiting towns that would otherwise require public transport connections.
The bus stop is located outside the terminal, near the arrivals area. Buses operate during the day and into the evening, but there is no 24-hour service.
Travelling to destinations such as Los Llanos de Aridane, Tazacorte or towns in northern La Palma generally requires a transfer.
Timetables and frequencies vary depending on the day and direction of travel, so passengers should check the available departures before their journey.
Vehicles are collected and returned in designated areas within the airport grounds, following each rental company’s instructions.
Renting a car is particularly convenient for exploring La Palma, visiting Caldera de Taburiente National Park, reaching viewpoints and hiking trails, or travelling to areas of the island where public transport is less frequent.
Opened in 2011, the terminal takes advantage of the sloping coastal terrain to arrange its facilities across different levels, with access viaducts and a car park integrated beneath the building. Its design adapts to the topography of La Palma’s eastern coast.
