Just 20 minutes south of Vigo, the coastal town of Nigrán is a popular summer holiday destination for travellers from within Spain and further afield. Beautiful sandy beaches and plenty of sunshine have long attracted visitors to this Atlantic Ocean town, and there are a good selection of accommodation options to choose from in the area, fit for a range of tastes and budgets. Look no further than our Gurus’ selection of the best places to stay in Nigrán, an exceptional clifftop property with an intriguing history.

Nigrán’s beaches are nothing short of spectacular. Pick a spot to soak up the sunshine on Playa America or Playa de Patos, both expansive stretches of golden sand, perfect for sunbathing and refreshing ocean dips. Keen hikers will appreciate the craggy clifftop walk to Mirador de Monteferro or Monte Lourido, both striking lookout points offering panoramic views of the ocean and the Iberian coastline. Head into the Foz Estuary for sailing, kayaking and birdwatching in more tranquil waters. There are myriad marked trails for trekking, cycling and horse riding close to the estuary and into the wider countryside, too.
