Eurostars Gran Hotel La Toja

The island's grand hotel

The Gran Hotel La Toja is the white building that presides over A Toxa island: a five-star hotel with 199 rooms on the shore of the Ría de Arousa, among gardens, with the spa inside. It is run by the Eurostars chain. From here you walk across to the Shell Chapel and, over the bridge, to the centre of O Grove.

The spa and the pool

The reason to sleep here is to go down to the thermal club without leaving the hotel: sauna, steam, contrast showers and a heated indoor pool, with two-hour sessions from 9:30 to 21:00. For guests it costs €28 for adults and €23 for under-12s, against the €40 charged to outside visitors. The spa also offers treatments with the island's water, muds and salts, by appointment. Outside, a heated outdoor pool opens from 11:00 to 19:00, and from 10:00 to 20:00 in July and August.
