Sanxenxo Guide

What is there to do in Sanxenxo?

If you’re looking for your typical Spanish holiday, consisting of glorious sunshine, golden stretches of sand and modern hotels – Sanxenxo is your place. Anyone looking for a metropolis of art galleries and quaint cafes may be best advised to head elsewhere. Spain’s northwest coast is the perfect place for a family holiday - little action happens outside of the hotels - most choose to spend their time sunbathing underneath the Mediterranean sun and swimming in the fresh blue water. After a long day amidst the blistering heat, enjoy some quintessential Spanish cuisine at the hotel restaurants. In the colder months, the resorts are understandably a little quieter than the peak of summer, yet when the sun rises so does the number of tourists, so it is worthwhile booking a hotel well in advance.

How do you get around Sanxenxo?

The resorts are in close proximity to the beach and the hotels are compact enough to cover by foot.

Ons Island Guide

What is there to do on Ons Island?

It’s easy to be mistaken in thinking that Ons Island was created simply as an escape from all the stress of the modern world. Whilst most tourist destinations are littered with bars, clubs and bustling streets, many visitors to Ons Island will have the long stretch of glorious coastline all to themselves. The beaches are relatively small and don’t lend themselves to hours of sunbathing, but there lies the beauty – the landscape and environment is unlike any other around the world. There are few shops or restaurants on the island, so all the entertainment is to be found in the great outdoors. Embark on the copious walking trails, or just relax and admire the breathtaking terrain that engulfs Ons Island. Most visitors only stay for a day due to the lack of amenities, but for a tranquil haven away from the hassles of reality, Ons Island is perfect.

How do visitors get around Ons Island?

Ons Island is entirely accessible by foot, so most who visit choose walking as their mode of transport.
