6 destinations to experience the most authentic summer among wild waves.
Getaways to escape the heat this summer
We are increasingly conscious of how we choose to spend our summers. In our portfolio, we discover homes designed to coexist with the heat without suffering from it: architecture that breathes, noble materials, and serene landscapes.
Playa las catedrales Catedrais beach in Ribadeo Galicia of Lugo Spain
There is no better way to cope with high temperatures than from the edge of a swimming pool, the shore of a beach, a country house (preferably with a cool breeze), or a well-equipped terrace. Or, at least, there is no more appealing way.
Summer would not be summer without its customary trip. Sometimes close to home, sometimes far away. Great getaways, however long they last, help us clear our minds and, why not, our spirits too. Because it’s not about traveling more miles, but about finding places where time expands, silence can be heard, and beauty is present in the details: in a well-placed shade, on a sofa next to an open window, in a long breakfast under a grapevine.
What we are looking for these days is not just rest. It is a kind of calm that can be felt in the temperature of the floors when walking barefoot, in the exact thickness of the curtains that filter the light, in the texture of linen and stone when the sun goes down. Places designed to slow down, but without sacrificing character, design, or aesthetic sense.
These getaways are not about escaping summer, but finding another way to experience it; more intimate, lighter, more our own.

Four cabins with Galician soul between the forest and the Atlantic
The same essence: that of the most authentic, profound, and serene Galicia. These cabins are a refuge for those seeking to return to the essentials. To that rhythm marked by nature, to leisurely walks among eucalyptus trees, to the constant sound of the sea as a soundtrack.
In a strategic location in Marín, in the heart of the Pontevedra estuary, close to some of the most beautiful beaches on the Galician coast.
Their design bears the signature of the prestigious Vigo architect Alfonso Penela, a leading figure in the contemporary reinterpretation of Galician architecture, who has conceived these cabins under a premise as poetic as it is emphatic: each structure embraces a tree. A statement of principles that translates into a design that respects the environment, enhances it, and inhabits it without invading it.
A place where time stretches out and the senses awaken. Because sometimes, the truly extraordinary lies in the simplest things. And Galicia, when experienced in this way, is pure emotion. Close your eyes… who would you like to enjoy this paradise with?
