Hotels in Ribadesella

Old town and harbour

The historic core occupies the eastern bank of the estuary, between the harbour and the streets of colourful houses. Here are the cider houses, shops and bars where afternoons stretch on, especially in summer. Staying in this part puts the Guía viewpoint and the Paseo de la Grúa, with Mingote's murals on local history, a step away. It is the natural choice if you want to do everything on foot and like having some buzz nearby.

Best-rated in this area: Silken Gran Hotel del Sella, with a score of 8.3 from 2,233 reviews.

Santa Marina

Crossing the bridge over the Sella you reach Santa Marina, a beach with a row of indiano mansions facing the sand. The district is residential and calm, with apartments and mansions converted into accommodation. Families choose it for having the sand right in front. The Tito Bustillo cave is on this same bank, so you can walk to your visit. If you come in August, remember that this bank also fills with swimmers.

Best-rated in this area: Hotel Silken Don Pepe y Don Pepe Ría, with a score of 9.1 from 1,867 reviews.

Vega and the eastern coast

To the east, Vega beach is a wide, open stretch of sand with dunes and almost no buildings. In the village and around it there are rural houses and the odd apartment. It suits those wanting an uncrowded beach and travelling by car, because the services are in Ribadesella.

The coastal path runs through this area, and dinosaur footprints are preserved on the nearby cliffs.

Collera and Leces

The municipality's rural parishes, such as Collera or San Esteban de Leces, offer rural hotels and village houses with views of the hills and the sea. They are a quiet alternative for groups and families spending several days in the area. From here you can easily reach Cangas de Onís, Covadonga and Llanes, and Arriondas for the canoe descent.
