Sustainable by Design
From energy-efficient appliances to native planting, sustainability isn't a feature here — it's the foundation. Our property borders protected forest, and we intend to keep it that way.
Meet the hosts
Sabela & Cris — the people behind Faros da Ría
We're Sabela & Cris, founders of Faros da Ría — a collection of sustainable holiday apartments created for those who seek more than just a place to stay. Here, it's about space, calm, and waking up somewhere that feels truly special.
What started as a personal dream — to build a quiet retreat with the best views in town — became something bigger. We found a place high above the coastline, where the green of the protected forest meets the blue of the Ría de Vigo. A place close to the beach, yet always peaceful. A place we knew others would fall in love with too.
Faros da Ría is designed to be both modern and warm. Intuitive comforts, natural materials, sunlit rooms — all thoughtfully chosen to feel effortless, welcoming, and quietly premium. We offer three apartment sizes so that everyone — couples, families, solo travelers — can find their space here.
We're especially proud of the sustainability built into every detail. From energy-efficient design to native vegetation, our commitment to the environment isn't a trend — it's part of the identity. The forest between the property and the beach is protected land, which means the views, the tranquility, and the connection to nature will always be here.
How we host
Our philosophy
Every decision — from the materials we choose to the experiences we curate — is guided by the same intention.
Privacy & Presence
We believe in giving guests the space to fully arrive. No schedules, no interruptions — just thoughtful welcomes, clear information, and discreet support whenever it's needed.
Local at Heart
We are Galicians who love this corner of the world. From sharing hidden beaches to the perfect moment to watch the sunset, local knowledge is always at your service.
Our home, your retreat
A place shaped by
the light of the sea
Our hosting style is simple: privacy when you want it, help when you need it. And if you're curious to explore, we love sharing our favourite hidden spots, local flavours, and unforgettable sunsets — so you spend less time planning, and more time enjoying.
Positioned above the protected coastline, with a direct view of the Cíes Islands on clear nights, Faros da Ría was built for those who travel with intention — and stay a little longer than they planned.
If you're looking for a different kind of stay in the Rías Baixas — peaceful, personal, and grounded in the beauty of the land — we think you'll feel at home here.
