Legend has it that the origin of the thermal waters of the island of La Toja happened by chance, thanks to a monk who left his sick donkey on the island to spend his last days. Some time later the monk returned to the island and was surprised to see the animal healthy, happy, and with its shiny hair for having wallowed in the waters of the island the whole time. This story began to pass by word of mouth among the inhabitants of the region, arousing interest in these unique waters and giving it the fame that the island of Toja maintains today. It was in 1969 that the Louxo La Toja hotel, also known as “Illa Louxo”, was inaugurated. In this environment, one of the most beautiful in Galicia, is the Hotel, which makes it an ideal destination to know not only the corners of the island of La Toja, but also the Rias Baixas and the charm of the Villa d'O Grove and its inhabitants. An authentic luxury experience.
