Mare nostrum

a seaside dream to fit everyone

Transparent waters wash kilometres and kilometres of free coastline, with landscapes made up of inlets, reefs, coves and an infinity of beaches. A short walk will take you to some of them and you will never find yourself elbow to elbow with neighbouring beach umbrellas even in mid-August. You will find others set among fantastic reefs, close to cool pine forests, soft sand dunes and natural oases inhabited by pink flamingos. Each speaks its own language: there are precious, delicate ones that it will seem an insult to walk on, while others are so wild that you will feel the thrill of being the first to set foot on them and sometimes their past experience comes before their beauty. You could experience a different one (or more than one) every day, but a lifetime of holidays in Sardinia would not be enough to discover the vastness of its sea.

Ten kilometres of beach, all alone

This is what it's like between Bari Sardo and Cardedu, a Blue Flag sea and a wild beach. Along this stretch of coast, your soul needs to get used to having nothing around except cormorants and dolphins peeping out at you, while in the distance you will hear bleating from the odd flock of sheep. It’s heaven, but take what you need with you, as there’s a long way to walk before reaching the refreshment services.

Torre di Barì

Four and a half kilometres from the centre of Barisardo, this beach is 8 kilometres long and one hundred metres wide. The Torre di Barì beach…

In the kingdom of Capo Comino

South of the Costa Smeralda, the mood changes. Distance is in the natural order of things, even in August. Take note of these two names: Sutt’e riu at Posada, at the foot of the park of Tepilora, and Mandra e’ Psiche at Orosei, in the oasis of Bidderosa. They are a tribute of the silent, solitary Sardinia, free from constructions.

A coastal paradise that will leave you breathless. The beach of Capo Comino, in the territory of Siniscola, in Baronìa, has fine white sand…

By the sea, with the Phoenicians and the Romans

They seem to have never left. Swim in their waters and sunbathe on the sands of Nora and San Giovanni at Tharros, and you will feel that they are still here, moving around the ancient ruins and the free beaches at the foot of their ancient towns. Then, in the evening, these spectacular stages set the scene for incredible sunsets over the sea.

San Giovanni di Sinis

Once a fishing village, today this is a well-known seaside resort. San Giovanni, a village in Cabras to the south of the Sinis peninsula within the…

In the shade of the pine trees

Long, leisurely pine woods that surround the beaches and infinite horizons on the sea. Platamona is Italy’s record-holder with 15 kilometres, followed by su Barone at Orosei, is Arenas at Narbolia and Salamaghe at Budoni, to name just a few. They are a short distance from the villages and frequented by local people: you can find the familiar seaside atmosphere of the past on their beaches.

Platamona

Even though it is about ten kilometres from the town, it is the quintessential beach of Sassari: a huge expanse of light sand washed by a sea of…

Far away from reality

Far away from everything and with a past made up of sad stories. If you come here, you must be looking for something that transcends the simple beauty of the landscapes. The excessively primordial nature of these areas can go to your head. Scivu, Piscinas, Pistis and Torre dei Corsari are shamanic places that captivate in order to be heard and respected.

Torre dei Corsari

A desert bathed by emerald sea and swept by the wind that moulds it and turns it into an ideal destination for surfers. Torre dei Corsari is one of…

At the mouth of the Liscia river

An undeclared wildlife oasis and spontaneous meeting place for naturists and kite surfers tells us a lot about the wild and free nature of Barrabisa, Fiumara and Porto Liscia. If you don't play with the waves and the wind, you can reach the coves close to the reefs, with a calm sea and views of the Maddalena archipelago, a private area in the heart of Gallura.
