Hotel Puntagrande

Top choice in El Hierro


An old stone port building perched on a spectacular rocky outcrop, surrounded by the sea, Las Puntas’ most famous lodging was once listed in the Guinness World Records book as the world's smallest hotel. The five snug rooms are styled with boutique flair – tile-walled bathrooms, driftwood mirrors, colourful artwork, open-stone walls – and there's a smart, nautical-inspired restaurant and terrace bar.

Staying here feels like sleeping in the middle of a vast ocean (when the waves are are rolling don't expect a quiet night!), and it's a truly memorable place.
