Palacio de Luces
Rustic-contemporary heritage. History in the bones of the building, modern boutique sensibility in the rooms. Colour palette borrowed from the Asturian countryside — greens, limestone greys, varying blues. Quiet, genuinely remote, decidedly non-party.

Why It Matters
Holds Michelin Key distinctions for both 2024 and 2025. Featured on the Condé Nast Traveler Gold List as Best Getaway Hotel in Spain and Portugal. Restaurant Tella recognized by Madrid Fusión. Also on the Hola Viajes 30 Best of the Best 2026 list and nominated for Condé Nast Traveler Best Getaway Hotel 2026. Formerly under CoolRooms and now part of the Único Hotels portfolio.
A restored 16th-century Asturian palace sitting within 13,000 m² of formal gardens, 2 km from the fishing village of Lastres. The original stone building — arches, restored frescoes, thick walls — connects to a sleek contemporary annex, so you get proper historical atmosphere without sacrificing modern comfort. The noble Victorero family once owned it; their legacy as a fishing dynasty who made their fortune in Mexico shows up in the décor: botanical drawings, Caribbean-inflected furnishings, and the odd coat of arms above a fireplace.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Deluxe
The entry-level room and still genuinely spacious at 30–33 m². Bright and contemporary, with views over the palace gardens — palm trees, hydrangeas, yews, beeches. Decorated in soothing Asturian tones with Indies-inspired artworks. Marble bathroom with separate bath and walk-in shower.
King (can be split into twins on request) · 31.5 sqm
Grand Suite
The top category. Same 47–51 m² footprint as the Suite but positioned as the most luxurious experience in the property — think the best location within the old palace building, the most refined furnishings, and the same sweeping views of sea, mountains, and gardens. If you're going to do Asturian countryside luxury, this is the full version.
King · 49 sqm
Junior Suite
A step up in size at 36–39 m², with garden, bay, or mountain views. Décor leans into Asturian greens and limestone greys with Caribbean-tinged botanical artwork referencing the palace's Victorero family history. Interconnecting options available on request.
King (can be split into twins on request) · 37.5 sqm
Junior Suite with Garden
Same footprint as the standard Junior Suite (36–39 m²) but with a 30 m² private garden and furnished patio attached. If you want the outdoors to feel like yours rather than shared, this is the pick. Views are over the hotel grounds rather than the sea or mountains.
King (can be split into twins on request) · 37.5 sqmSuite
At 47–51 m², the Suite is set in the historic palace building and carries real atmospheric weight. Views stretch across the Sierra del Sueve, Picos de Europa, and Lastres Bay.
