An Island Away From You (Spanish: A una isla de ti) is a 2026 Spanish romantic comedy film directed by Alexis Morante and written by Fernando Pérez and Paula López Cuervo. It stars Freddie Dennis, Jaime Zatarain, Julia Martínez, and Toni Acosta.

Plot

After suffering heartbreak, uptight English chef Harry is persuaded by his friend Yaiza to holiday in Gran Canaria, where he falls for Iván, Yaiza's father.[1][2][3]

Cast

Production

The film is a De Isla en Isla AIE, Morena Films, and Neo Labels Company production,[5] with the participation of HBO Max.[6] It was shot in locations of the islands of Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura, including Agaete, the Maspalomas Dunes, and the Elder Museum.[7]

Release

The film was presented at the 29th Málaga Film Festival in March 2026 as an out of competition official selection entry.[8][9] Distributed by DeAPlaneta, it is scheduled to be released theatrically in Spain on 10 April 2026.[6] It was also programmed at the Florida-based OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival.[10]

Reception

In a 2-star rating, Manuel J. Lombardo of Diario de Sevilla assessed that the screenplay seems to have been written with "a handbook of clichés and plot devices for old-fashioned madcap comedies in one hand, and the white paper on promoting tourism in the Canary Islands in the other".[11]
