Unique oceanfront retreat with fantastic views of the wild natural space

Tourist Licence: VUT CO 000476
Mirador das Areas is a unique retreat in a small rural hamlet of traditional stone houses, ideally located by the sea within the protected natural area of Razo-Baldaio.

Just a few metres from the house, a path through the dunes leads down to the beach. There is something truly special about stepping outside, walking through this beautiful dune landscape and reaching the sea on foot.

The atmosphere is wonderfully peaceful, with a pleasant feeling of stepping back in time, yet without giving up modern comforts: reliable mobile coverage, high-speed fibre-optic Wi-Fi and excellent restaurants just a few minutes away, both on the beach and in the surrounding area.

The Atlantic horizon opens up right in front of the house: the beach, the dunes and a vast, wild natural landscape stretching as far as the eye can see. This scenery becomes part of everyday life here: enjoying breakfast overlooking the sea, reading, cooking, dining outdoors or simply taking in the views and forgetting about the clock for a while. And when you feel like getting out, walking, swimming, surfing or cycling are all part of life here.

Everything you need is close by. The nearest restaurants are about a 5-minute walk away, while Carballo, with hypermarkets, supermarkets, shops and all essential services, is just a 10-minute drive.

The entire house is rented exclusively to your group and accommodates up to 6 guests (4 adults and 2 young children, or 5 adults). It offers approximately 130 m² of living space over three floors, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. There are also two private outdoor areas with gardens, a swimming pool, barbecue facilities and parking.

The house has been carefully restored with deep respect for its original character. The traditional stone walls and wooden floors have been restored, noble woods have been reclaimed, and the century-old enclosed balcony, which frames the views of the protected landscape, has been brought back to life. These traditional features are combined with contemporary design, natural materials and all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay.


LIVING ROOM, DINING AREA AND KITCHEN

The ground floor features an open-plan kitchen, dining area and living room, with a fireplace that makes the house particularly inviting during the cooler months. The fully equipped kitchen is designed for those who enjoy cooking during their holidays.

The living and dining area is a welcoming space for long meals, relaxing, reading or simply enjoying the scenery. From here, you can step directly onto an outdoor area of approximately 25–30 m², designed for dining and taking a refreshing dip while enjoying panoramic views of the sea, dunes and beach.

The outdoor area has a dining table and chairs, barbecue, two small sun loungers and a plunge pool measuring approximately 3 × 3.5 m, with a depth of 1 m. The pool has a safety fence that can be used to prevent children from accessing it whenever parents consider it necessary.


3 BEDROOMS AND 3 BATHROOMS

The house has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

Bedrooms

On the upper floor, there is a suite with breathtaking views, a full bathroom with a shower and bathtub, and a gallery with two particularly comfortable armchairs where you can relax while enjoying the sea.

Also on the upper floor is a small bedroom designed for children, sleeping two children or one adult. It forms part of the family suite located in the attic.

The attic features another suite with a full bathroom and shower, offering spectacular sea views. The ocean can be seen both from the bed and from the shower. The suite also has a terrace overlooking the open landscape.

Garden terrace with pool
Directly accessible from the living room, this garden terrace measures approximately 30 m² and features a plunge pool measuring around 3 × 3.5 m, with a depth of 1 m.
It has a barbecue, a dining table for 4 adults and 2 children (or 5 adults), seating and two sun loungers. The pool is the perfect place to cool off while enjoying panoramic views of the ocean, dunes and beach. It is enclosed by a safety fence.

Second garden beside the parking area
Approximately 50 metres from the house, you will find the private parking area and a second garden of around 150 m².
This garden has another barbecue, a dining table and seating for 4 adults and 2 children (or 5 adults), two sun loungers and two armchairs. It also offers views of the ocean, the surrounding natural landscape and the coastal hills.


NATURE, WILD BEACHES, FAIRY-TALE WOODS AND EVERYDAY LIFE BY THE SEA

Mirador das Areas is located within the protected natural area of Razo-Baldaio, one of the great natural landscapes of the Galician coast. From the house, you can walk to the beach to stroll along the sand, swim or enjoy long sunsets over the ocean. You can also explore this extraordinary natural landscape on foot.

Razo-Baldaio stretches along almost 6 kilometres of fine sand, with dunes, salt marshes and a saltwater lagoon hidden among the dunes, forming a large natural swimming pool much loved by adults and children alike.

We are in A Costa da Morte, one of the most fascinating stretches of the Galician coast. Here, wild beaches, lighthouses, cliffs, fairy-tale woods and small fishing villages follow one another along the coast, where everyday life remains closely connected to the sea.

It is a region of extraordinary landscapes, rich historical and cultural heritage, and a deep-rooted maritime tradition.


WALKING, SURFING AND DISCOVERING THE LANDSCAPE

Just a few metres from the house runs the Ruta dos Pinos do Mar, a coastal route connecting the fishing villages of Caión and Malpica through some of the most beautiful landscapes of A Costa da Morte.

The route offers different ways to explore the coast, both on foot and by car, and combines beaches and dunes, coastal woods, cliffs and sea caves. One of its most remarkable sections crosses the Razo-Baldaio natural area, where you can walk for almost 6 kilometres along the beach itself, with the Atlantic always in view.

The surroundings invite you to enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities, including surfing, horseback riding along the beach, walking and cycling, with the ocean always at the heart of the experience.


LIGHTHOUSES, VILLAGES AND A COSTA DA MORTE

The house is ideally located for visiting some of the most iconic lighthouses of A Costa da Morte, including Fisterra, Punta Nariga, Cabo Vilán, Touriñán and O Roncudo, as well as charming fishing villages and small towns.

Its location also makes it an excellent base for exploring both the coast and inland Galicia:

Malpica and Caión: 15 min.
Ponteceso: 20 min.
Laxe: 30 min.
Muxía and Fisterra: 60 min.


NEARBY SERVICES AND LOCAL LIFE

Razo Beach has excellent bars and restaurants, with the nearest ones just a 5-minute walk away. This makes it easy to enjoy local cuisine without having to drive. Some establishments also offer takeaway food that can be ordered and collected.

Just 10 minutes away by car is Carballo, the main town in the area, with hypermarkets, supermarkets, shops selling local crafts and products, a medical centre, restaurants, tapas bars, and a thermal spa.

Every Thursday and on the 2º and 4º Sundays of each month, a local market takes place in Carballo's town hall square, offering fresh local produce.

A HOUSE TO ENJOY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

It is a house designed to be enjoyed all year round, a welcoming home in every season. Its thick stone walls help maintain a pleasant indoor temperature, keeping the house cool in summer and warm in winter. During the warmer months, the gardens, swimming pool, terrace and nearby beach invite you to enjoy outdoor living. When the colder weather arrives, it becomes an especially cosy retreat: relaxing by the fireplace, unwinding in the glazed gallery overlooking the ocean or walking along the beach as the Atlantic reveals its wilder side.

Mirador das Areas is a little gem, carefully restored in a coastal hamlet, facing an extraordinary natural landscape and just a short walk from one of Spain’s finest wild beaches. A place to enjoy nature and the vastness of the Atlantic, without giving up the convenience of having all essential services close by.

Located in a small hamlet near Razo, in Cambre, the house is approximately 500 m from the beach. In fact, around 350 m of that distance is across the dunes, reached by a footpath that runs almost directly in front of the house.


LOCAL HOST SUPPORT

At the house, you will find practical information and access to our Galicia guides, created from our own experience of living and travelling throughout the region. They include beaches, walks, nature, gastronomy and small places with character.

We will be available upon your arrival and throughout your stay to offer personalised recommendations and help with any questions.
