Once described by The Guardian as the “best beach in the world,” Playa de Rodas in the Cíes Islands is a true paradise within the Atlantic Islands of Galicia National Park.
The crescent-shaped beach connects two small islands with white powdery sand and emerald-green waters. Strict visitor limits preserve its fragile ecosystem, so it never feels crowded. The area is ideal for hiking, birdwatching, or simply lying in the sun surrounded by pristine nature. Accessible by ferry from Vigo during the summer, Rodas feels like an untouched Eden at Spain’s edge.
From desert canyons and coral-fringed islands to jungle sanctuaries and futuristic cityscapes, a new generation of resorts has emerged—each redefining what it means to experience opulence.
