  • Islas Cíes

Las Islas Cíes are one of the natural treasures of the coast of Galicia. The archipelago consists in 3 beautiful islands which are Monte Agudo, O Faro y San Martino. The first two islands are united by a long arenal, the beach of Rodas, which for many is the best beach in the world.

The Cíes Islands are a part of the National Park of Illas Atlánticas, a compound of paradisiac beaches with white sand, crystalline water and a breathtaking natural environment. Definitely a very good reason to visit Galicia on summer and take a dip on these stunning beaches.

Lucky for you, our Parador de Baiona is the best location you can get to visit the Islas Cíes. The easiest way to get to the Cíes Islands in summer is by taking a boat from the port of Baiona. If it's not summer, you can also take the boat from the Port of Vigo which is located 35km away from our Parador. It´s important to take into account that the Cíes Isles only admit 2.200 visitors a day so we recommend that you book a place in the boat when you are planning your trip.
