This hotel served as the exterior of the resort. With its three gorgeous pools overlooking the blue ocean and its impressive facade, it’s easy to see when this hotel was the perfect setting for an idyllic island holiday.
Although we don’t get to see inside the hotel in La Palma, rest assured that it’s just as good on the inside as it is on the outside. The resort features chic, cosy interiors with ocean views, a buffet restaurant, and three bars. And yes, it’s also a great spot to visit if you’re interested in trying some scuba diving.

Playa de la Arena, Tenerife
La Palma used this famous Tenerife beach for a scene in episode 1 when Alma Günther’s Sara heads to the beach to find her brother, Tobias (Bernard Storm Lager).
At this point in the show, La Palma is still looking picturesque, and Playa de la Arena is the perfect sunny setting. The black sand beach in Tenerife has become a tourist destination thanks to its beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean and calm waters for swimming. But be warned, this beach is one of the most popular spots on the island, so it does tend to get busy.

La Palma Airport
As things get more heated (pun intended) in La Palma, visitors flock to the La Palma airport in a desperate attempt to get off the volcanic island. In the series finale, the airport becomes a major plot point as it becomes clear that not everyone will be able to hitch a flight back to the mainland.
The cast and crew shot in the real airport, so, if you ever visit La Palma, you may recognise the runways and the terminal. (Hopefully it won’t be quite so chaotic IRL.)
During the 2021 volcanic eruption on La Palma, the airport was actually shut down as a result of damage. Since then, it has fully reopened.
