The Journey
Cala Coticcio and Cala Portese
Discover the idyllic beauty of Cala Coticcio (also known as Tahiti) and Cala Portese on Caprera Island, jewels of the Maddalena Archipelago. Cala Coticcio enchants with its white sands, turquoise waters, and rugged cliffs, resembling a Polynesian paradise. Cala Portese is a tranquil cove offering respite with its calm waters and serene ambiance. These bays provide a haven for snorkeling, swimming, and basking in the Mediterranean sun, offering a taste of unspoiled Sardinian charm.
Pink Beach (Spiaggia Rosa), Budelli
Witness the surreal beauty of the Pink Beach on Budelli Island, a protected treasure within the Maddalena Archipelago National Park. Its iconic coral-hued sands, a result of crushed shells and coral, create a breathtaking natural spectacle. Immortalized in Michelangelo Antonioni's film 'Red Desert,' this beach is a sanctuary of environmental preservation. While walking on the beach and swimming are restricted to protect its delicate ecosystem, the Pink Beach remains a mesmerizing natural monument, best admired in reverent silence from afar.
Spargi Island Bays
Immerse yourself in the crystal-clear waters of Spargi Island, a pristine gem in the Maddalena Archipelago. Renowned for its stunning bays with incredibly transparent, turquoise waters, Spargi offers unparalleled snorkeling and swimming experiences. Discover secluded white beaches where you can bask in the Mediterranean sun and explore vibrant marine life. The island's untouched beauty and serene atmosphere provide an unforgettable escape into nature's embrace.
Porto Madonna (Manto della Madonna)
Discover the ethereal beauty of Porto Madonna, a natural swimming pool nestled between the islands of Budelli, Razzoli, and Santa Maria. This lagoon, also known as Manto della Madonna, boasts crystalline waters and small beaches with fine white sand. While swimming is permitted in some coves, others are protected to preserve this miraculous natural spectacle. This stunning area forms a 'mirror of water' exhibiting every shade of blue. Visitors can soak in the tranquil atmosphere and stunning panoramic views.
Razzoli and Santa Maria Islands
Explore the contrasting beauty of Razzoli and Santa Maria, two captivating islands in the Maddalena Archipelago, nearly connected by the Asinelli Pass. Razzoli impresses with its dramatic cliffs and uniquely shaped rocks, reminiscent of Moore's sculptures, crowned by a majestic lighthouse overlooking the Strait of Bonifacio. Santa Maria, in contrast, offers tranquility with its ancient convent, once a refuge for Benedictine friars, and the beautiful Cala Santa Maria, one of the largest beaches in the Archipelago. Here, screenwriter Franco Solinas found inspiration, and the spirit of Gian Maria Volontè lingers, making it a haven for those seeking creative inspiration and natural serenity.
