contents We study eigenfunctions of the Laplace--Beltrami operator \(Δ_X\) in exterior domains \(Ω\) of rank-one Riemannian symmetric spaces of noncompact type \(X\), a class that includes all hyperbolic spaces. Extending the classical \(L^2\) Rellich theorem for the Euclidean Laplacian, we analyze the asymptotic behaviour and \(L^p\)-integrability of solutions to the Helmholtz equation \[ Δ_X f + (λ^2 + ρ^2) f = 0 \quad \text{in } Ω, \] where \(λ\in \mathbb{C}\setminus i\mathbb{Z}\) and \(ρ\) denotes the half-sum of positive roots. We establish sharp Rellich-type quantitative \(L^p\)-growth estimates in geodesic annuli, which yield the nonexistence of nontrivial \(L^p(Ω)\)-solutions in the optimal range \(1 \leq p \leq 2\) for spectral parameters satisfying \(|\Im(λ)| \leq (2/p - 1)ρ\). For non-real spectral parameters, we further obtain refined Rellich-type uniqueness results under weak \(L^p\)-assumptions. As a by-product, we also prove a Rellich-type uniqueness theorem in terms of Hardy-type norms. Our results provide a geometric extension of the Euclidean Rellich theorem, highlighting the role of exponential volume growth and the \(p\)-dependence of the \(L^p\)-spectrum of \(Δ_X\) in producing genuinely non-Euclidean spectral phenomena.
