Oca Playa de Foz Hotel & Spa is a beachfront spa hotel on Praia de Rapadoira in Foz, a small coastal town on Galicia's Cantabrian shore in Lugo province. Foz sits at the mouth of the Masma River estuary, approximately 25 km west of Ribadeo and 35 km east of Viveiro, and is known among Spanish holidaymakers for broad, sandy beaches and relatively sheltered waters compared to the more exposed Atlantic-facing coasts further west. The hotel stands directly on the Rapadoira beachfront, with upper-floor sea views over the Bay of Biscay and direct beach access from the property grounds.
The building is a modern mid-rise structure, constructed in the 2000s and subsequently refurbished by the Oca Hotels group — a Spanish chain operating mid-range spa hotels across Galicia and the wider Iberian Peninsula. The interior design is contemporary and functional, with neutral tones, tiled floors, and maritime photography in common areas. Standard rooms, sea-view rooms, and junior suites are available; sea-view categories on the upper floors face north over the bay. All rooms include air conditioning, flat-screen television, and WiFi.
The spa is the hotel's strongest asset. Facilities include an indoor heated pool, hydro-massage jets, a sauna, a steam room, and a treatment menu covering sports massage, relaxation massage, body wraps, and facial treatments. An outdoor terrace pool opens in summer. The gym carries cardio and weight equipment.
The in-house restaurant serves Galician and Cantabrian seafood — locally landed hake (merluza), fresh scallops, and crab are menu regulars — alongside a breakfast buffet. The bar faces the beach and draws a local crowd on summer evenings. The hotel is well-configured for families, with cots, family room arrangements, and a beach directly accessible from the grounds. Meeting and small conference facilities are available for corporate groups.
