"When I'm not here, I'm in the solarium..."



The Hotel "The el paso" is more than a small design hotel in the middle of the Isla Bonita La Palma.

It feels like a small village with 3 rooms, an apartment, a swimming pool, the jacuzzi, a yoga area, a large living room with bar and turntable, a chic communal kitchen (SMEG appliances) and views of the mountains and the sea from all sides.


You can reserve it exclusively for you, friends and family, or individual rooms.

My Philosophy

I bought and renewed "The el paso" in 2023.


In my professional life in the music industry, and later as a politician and author, I have traveled a lot. But I have rarely found a home in hotels. My hotel should be a place where the host's story can be read, a house where people meet and get to know each other, where art can take up a lot of space and where nature also plays an important role.The story where the young design studio ambits from Lisbon had the white concrete poured, inspired by César Manrique, used to be the village street. Peasants and their donkey carts used to pass by a music school, a bakery and small stables, i.e. everything that is now the boutique hotel "The el paso".

Works of art



All of these artists contributed works to "The El Paso" or, like the photo of the Cumbre Vieja volcano in the salon, produced them especially for us. Urban art and politics came to me unexpectedly.

The mayor of Berlin asked me one day if I wanted to be his Secretary of State for Culture. I got to know completely different people. Yasha Young, for example. The curator who created Urban Nation in Berlin was in "The El Paso" for the first time in November 2023 with NeSpoon (Poland), Mr. June (Holland) and Fin DAC (Ireland) to decorate three walls with street art and will soon continue with Blueleela, an artist from the island, Hera and Jim Avignon (both from Berlin).

Enjoy the best experience



As you see, here in the center of La Palma you can not only discover the island in perfection, relax in the jacuzzi, in the pool or in the large living room, work with fast Internet (soon fiber optic cable), but also discover my very personal history.

You will find it on the walls, in the regular and golden records (Eminem, Rammstein, Sting and U2), in the books and in the small design objects. And if you need help, advice or just a good breakfast, Anouck and Willem and their team are at your disposal.
