Ciulaga is located in the confluence of the Kindreds and Taínean Seas about {{convert|472|km|mi}} southwest of the coast of mainland Cartadania and about {{convert|879|km|mi}} southeast of the nearest sovereign country, [[Urcea]], via [[Port St. Brendan]]. It is due west of [[Santa Elena]], about {{convert|229|km|mi}} from shore to shore. The total area of Ciulaga is {{convert|320.7|km2|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|11|km2|sqmi}} is water and the rest land. Ciulaga is the 2nd largest island in Taíno-Kindredian confluence (Aveiro's Aragón and Salvador islands are considered to be wholly within the Taínean Sea). It stretches {{convert|32|km|mi}} in length and {{convert|97|km|mi}} in width. The highest point is the volcano of Mount Gistaín at {{convert|1291|m|ft}} above sea level. There are numerous small islands, particularly off the east coast. Aside from the mountains of the center-west, Ciulaga is mostly flat, with rocky coasts to the north, irregular hills at the center, mangrove at the southwest, and white sand beaches sheltered by coral reefs along the southern shore, especially around Melero. This is where the main tourist resorts are found.
