Cala Isola dei Porri is definitely among the most beautiful places in Sardinia. Located in the Stintino area, it can only be reached by a long and challenging path or by sea. One of the most inaccessible places on the north coast, where you can savour the true essence of the island. The seabed drops quickly and is immediately deep, while the coastline alternates between pebbles and light-coloured sand bathed by a blue-green sea. In the Maddalena Archipelago, on the other hand, is the beach of Cala Granara, embraced by a low cliff and with no access by land. Clear sand, smooth rocks and a crystal-clear sea, this beach will win you over with the absolute charm of its purity.

North of Arbatax is Cala Mariolu, a true piece of paradise with small white and pink marble pebbles and surrounded by a cliff that reaches a height of 500 metres and falls sheer to the sea. The shallow water makes this place ideal for children. Before getting back on the boat, don't miss a visit to the nearby Grotta del Fico to observe the rocky seabed that is home to a wide variety of species. Don't forget to go in the morning, the cove is only exposed to the sun until the early afternoon hours. 

There are many breathtaking beaches on the south coast, because it is here that the island reveals African nuances with a landscape characterised by dunes, cacti and agaves. Cuccureddu beach is a jewel set in the Villasimius coastline and reserved for those who choose a sailing holiday. For this reason it is one of the most unspoilt beaches, an expanse of white sand bathed by transparent waters. Even the Golfo della Mezzaluna can only be reached by boat, due to the high cliffs on this stretch of coast. It hosts suggestive coves and beautiful caves to visit: a paradise for diving enthusiasts. On the eastern side of the gulf, there is the Scogliera del Bue Marino (Sea Ox Reef), with a large open cave, a treat not to be missed!

On the central west coast of Sardinia lies this completely uninhabited, specially protected island. The name is said to derive from the often rough sea due to the strong Mistral. Mal di Ventre is a flat granite expanse, two and a half kilometres long and a maximum of one kilometre wide. At its highest point, 20 metres above sea level, stands the lighthouse that dominates it. The island holds many natural treasures and scenery that continually amaze with their variety, from the cliffs and granite stacks on the western side, to the beautiful coves on the eastern side, from the fine sand of Cala Saline, to the quartz grains of Cala Tamerici and Cala Valdaro. The arid land with patches of Mediterranean scrub is populated by rabbits and land tortoises. The seabed is ideal for snorkelling, and is a habitat for crustaceans, molluscs and a multitude of fish. Dolphins are often spotted. If you love diving, you can explore numerous underwater wrecks, Roman and Spanish ships and many boats.
