The vivid pink exterior is your first clue that this boutique country house hotel near Santiago de Compostela takes a loose interpretation of "Galician villa." Twelve suites in the main house draw from Yves Saint Laurent, Morocco, and the general feeling that more is more, while seven yurts and a freestanding chapel suite round out the options. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys. Two restaurants, two bars, Iglusaunas, and a vineyard out back.

Each room is a freestanding concrete cube dropped into Galician forest, with a picture window big enough to make the trees feel like wallpaper. This hotel in coastal Galicia leans into the minimalist-in-nature idea hard, calling the rooms "galpones," the word for sheds, which undersells them considerably. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys. The restaurant next door has its own following, and the whole property runs on the assumption that you'll trust the same vision overnight.

The rooftop pool runs in a circuit, fitted with volcano-shaped jets, bubble beds, and swan-neck features, before converting into a bar after dark with views across Vigo. This five-star boutique hotel on Plaza de Compostela sits neatly between the fishing port and the business district, and the decor leaves no doubt which side it favors: pared-down, Japanese-inflected rooms with glass-walled bathrooms stocked with Bulgari products and a two-story spa that leans closer to futuristic than serene.
