Hotel Spa Relais & Chateaux A Quinta da Auga

About

A Quinta da Auga is an eco‑luxury boutique hotel that blends the rich heritage of a 17th‑century paper mill with contemporary sustainability practices. Nestled beside the serene Sar River and surrounded by centuries‑old oaks in the heart of Galicia, it offers guests a tranquil retreat that feels like a hidden garden within the bustling city of Santiago de Compostela. The property boasts a world‑class spa where guests can unwind in a circuit of hydrotherapy pools, a sauna, Turkish bath, and a floating “Flotarium.” Treatments are inspired by local natural ingredients and Ayurvedic principles, and private spa sessions are available for intimate relaxation. Dining is a cornerstone of the experience – the Michelin‑accredited restaurant Filigrana delights with inventive Galician cuisine crafted from seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, while Café Baltasar and Kiosko provide casual, relaxed settings. Beyond comfort, A Quinta da Auga showcases sustainable design: cogeneration, geothermal energy, an organic garden, and a commitment to the Slow Food movement. Every touchpoint—from carefully curated furnishings to artisanal décor—celebrates the building’s storied past while honoring the planet’s future. The hotel is perfect for travelers seeking an authentic, peaceful escape that marries history, nature, and luxury in equal measure.
