About Us

Welcome to
Isla Las Palmeras

Our Story

A long-cherished dream has finally come true for us, Jan and Ellen – our own home in southern Spain. We chose this beautiful area for its long summers, tranquility, and rich culture. Spain is not new to Jan, who has been visiting for over 25 years, forming many friendships along the way. Learning Spanish became essential to connect deeply with the locals.

Together, we searched for a location that made us both happy, and we found it in this house. The mountainous and green surroundings offer beautiful nature and many opportunities for exploration. Whether you want to hike in the mountains, relax on the beach, or visit Málaga or another charming city, everything is within about half an hour’s reach.

We invite you to enjoy all the beauty this area has to offer.
