Refuxos de Porto Quilmas

Refuxos de Porto Quilmas, the essence of the Costa da Morte

You’ve reached the end of the earth, where forests melt into a landscape of rugged stone and untamed ocean. Here, in the heart of the Costa da Morte, Refuxos de Porto Quilmas reimagines seafaring tradition through architecture that honours the past while looking to the future. Inspired by the old huts where fishermen once stored their gear—refuxos—these clean-lined, gabled buildings blend effortlessly into the natural surroundings. A modern retreat with an Atlantic soul.

From each cabin, the horizon unfolds like a painting in motion: the small harbour of Quilmas, the nearby beach, Mount Pindo rising like a natural monument. Just 100 metres away, a private path leads directly to the sand, where the Atlantic stretches out endlessly before you.

The seven cabins, designed for couples, families or groups of friends, offer every comfort while preserving a rustic charm. Inside, warm wood, natural textures and large windows that flood the space with light create a cosy and welcoming atmosphere. Each one includes a double bed, bunk beds and a sofa bed, as well as a fireplace for cooler nights, with firewood kits available on request.

And if the sea isn’t enough, there’s a heated pool—open from May to October—perfect for unwinding while you take in the view. The sound of the waves, the wind sculpting the rocks, and the feeling of being sheltered in a remote corner make this a truly special Galician escape.

Beyond the refuge
From here, you can explore the Costa da Morte in all its wild beauty: trails winding along dramatic cliffs, shipwreck remains that whisper tales of sailors and pilgrims, and villages where Galician cuisine reaches its peak in tender octopus, wild goose barnacles and white wines with Atlantic character.

In this corner of Galicia, where land and ocean wage an eternal battle, Refuxos de Porto Quilmas invites you to pause, breathe and become part of the landscape. Because there are places that aren’t just visited—they are truly lived.
