Its seven exotic-looking beaches are in their own right our 'southern seas'. If you don't believe us, walk the shore of the seven kilometres of sea that link the tower of Chia to Cala Cipolla. Every now and then take a swim and do some water aerobics: it may be a longer swim than usual, but the waters in the south of Sardinia are warmer and more welcoming than elsewhere, and here you can take a dip in the sea without a wetsuit, even in autumn. As you walk along Chia's soft, shallow seabed, you will come across its beaches one after the other, set amidst enchanting scenery and separated by small rocky promontories. Beyond the towering dunes of the beaches, dotted with junipers and carpets of wild lilies and fragrant helichrysum, you will discover salt marshes and lagoons with pink flamingos. In the background, the Is Cannonneris forest and the Gutturu Mannu park, with the is Zuddas caves. A dreamlike sea enveloped by superb nature: once again it can only be Sardinia.

You get the feeling that this place is more than just glittering beauty, it’s got that je ne sais quoi that makes it a little aristocratic, meant for travellers rather than tourists. And Sinis won't change for anyone, its sights are straightforward and unpretentious, simply unique. Take a stroll along the streets of Tharros, go cycling or horse riding through natural oases and lagoons, pore over the quartz grains of Is Arutas and Mari Ermi, or relax on the soft sand of San Giovanni. Sinis is also the proud custodian of its history and millenary culture. Here stands Mont'e Prama, which has given back to the world the most important archaeological discovery of the late 20th century: the statues of the Giants. This is not an isolated fact, there is a high concentration of nuraghi, sacred wells and prehistoric remains, even on the islet of Mal di Ventre, the heart of the marine protected area.

Beaches set between granite 'pink-painted' rocks and cloaked with a carpet of white sand, in front of an almost unreal turquoise sea. The enchantment can also be found in the depths of waters full of life and colours around Molara and the imposing Tavolara, home of a prestigious film festival. Porto Istana, Porto Taverna, Capo Coda Cavallo, Cala Ghjlgolu, La Cinta, Cala Brandinchi and Lu Impostu are just a few of the 'pieces' of the Caribbean mixed by nature with the scents and wildness of the Sardinian back-shore, surrounded by Mediterranean greenery. They are all part of the Tavolara-Capo Coda Cavallo protected marine area, a treasure chest of natural treasures waiting to be explored with respect and with the heart ready to thrill at every glance.

Lunar landscapes encircled by towering granite cliffs, hidden rocky coves, lighthouses, and historic military batteries. Then pristine white beaches and sunsets admired from stunning vantage points. And further along, a jagged coastline stretching until Sardinia meets the sea. The Capo Testa marine area holds many worlds in one, encircling a lively town where culture, music, and vibrant nightlife form the daily summer menu. Zia Culumba, Rena di Levante, and Rena di Ponente at Capo Testa; Rena Bianca, watched over by the majestic Longonsardo tower; La Marmorata, La Balcaccia, all the way to La Licciola: you’re truly spoiled for choice when it comes to admiring these expanses of soft sand nestled among granite rocks, junipers, and aromatic Mediterranean shrubs—privileged viewpoints to revel in a shimmering sea.

Wide, uncrowded beaches, clear waters, sand and dunes as soft as silk, this is the sea in Baronia: Bidderosa in Orosei, Berchida and Capo Comino in Siniscola, San Giovanni in Posada. But there is more than just the beautiful sea, behind the coast there are oases and parks, which can be visited along routes that lead from the beach inland. You will be able to try out activities that you would never have imagined just a stone's throw from the shoreline. The Posada river, which crosses the eight thousand hectares of unspoilt forests of the Tepilora oasis and flows into the beach, is ideal for kayaking among pink flamingos, black-winged stilts and western swamphens. A stone's throw away, the massif of Monte Albo, which dominates the Siniscola coastline, is a favourite with hikers, while the cycle paths through the wilderness of Lake Maccheronis are ideal for family cycling. This is year-round Sardinia.

Bosa è un mondo a parte. È un borgo medioevale di case colorate affacciato sul mare, dove la vita scorre tra vicoli angusti come nei tempi andati. Un fiume navigabile da valle sino al mare attraversa il paese, finendo il suo corso sulla bella spiaggia di Bosa Marina. Una strada costiera collega il suggestivo borgo ad Alghero, talmente spettacolare da essere considerata tra quelle da percorrere almeno una volta nella vita: 40 chilometri di scenari naturali che disorientano lo sguardo, non sai più se inseguire il volo dei grifoni che nidificano a Capo Marrargiu o guardare verso il mare dove si rincorrono riservate scogliere levigate e cale poco frequentate, come s’Abba Druche, Compoltitu e sos Puppos. Un richiamo irresistibile, dal parcheggio le raggiungerai da sentieri nella macchia mediterranea. Arriverai in posti vergini dove è facile sentirsi estranei, ma bastano maschera e pinne e proverai la sensazione di farne parte, nel suo mondo sommerso, l’altra dimensione del mare di Sardegna.
