HOTEL DESCRIPTION

Aldea Calma is a small, nature-first retreat in the Sanxenxo area of Pontevedra, set in Bordóns and surrounded by greenery, fresh air and that calm Galician rhythm. With only 10 rooms, it feels intimate and quiet, more like a hidden getaway than a busy hotel. The style is warm and natural, designed for slowing down after beach time or long coastal walks in the Rías Baixas. Days here are easy: a swim in the outdoor pool, time on the rooftop terrace, then a proper reset in the spa area with a sauna and hot tub. There’s also an on-site restaurant, so you can keep things simple without planning every meal. And while the hotel feels peaceful and tucked away, you are still close to the coast, with Areas Beach and other sandy coves within walking distance or a quick drive.

Aldea Calma is designed around calm routines: beach walk, long pool afternoon, then an Aura Spa session before dinner. It’s Galicia in a softer, more restorative rhythm.
