Named the 'islands of the gods' by the Romans for their natural beauty, the Cíes Islands are an archipelago off the coast of Pontevedra in Galicia, in the mouth of the Ria de Vigo. Consisting of three islands: Monte Agudo, O Faro and San Martiñov, it is a paradise setting that everyone can enjoy.
Rodas Beach, which joins two of the islands together, is known as one of the best beaches in the world and can rival any Caribbean beach for beauty with its crystalline blue waters and dazzling white sand.
As part of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia National Park, the islands are protected and visitors are limited to preserve the stunning natural landscape and the wildlife that live here. Enjoy a day trip on the ferry from Vigo or stay at the campsite, which is the only accommodation on the islands.
