The Parador de Baiona and the walls of Monterreal on their headland, seen from across the water

Where to Stay in Baiona

A castle hotel on a headland, harbour-front inns and a spa on the open Atlantic — here is where to sleep.

Baiona is compact, and for most travellers the choice is simple: stay in or beside the old town and walk everywhere. The one great exception is the Parador, which sits inside the fortress on its own headland and is a destination in itself.

Below are the properties we would look at first, all checked on Trip.com. Guest scores are shown where Trip.com displays them.

When to book

Baiona has relatively few hotel rooms and a very concentrated season. For mid-July to late August, and for the first weekend of March, reserve as early as you can. In winter some properties close for several weeks. Then plan your days with the best tours.

Where to stay: FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Baiona?

For a first visit, the harbour front and old town: everything is on foot, including the fortress, the beaches and the restaurants.

Is the Parador de Baiona worth it?

For the setting, yes — it stands inside the medieval walls with the sea on three sides. It is the most expensive option in town, and it books up early in summer.

Is it better to stay in Baiona or Vigo?

Baiona, if you want a beach town with atmosphere. Vigo, if you want city life, an early Cíes boat or easy rail and air connections. They are only half an hour apart.

Do hotels in Baiona have parking?

Some do, including the Parador; many small hotels in the old town do not. Check before booking if you are driving in high season.
