The Journey
Spargi Island Bays
Discover the idyllic bays of Spargi Island, the first stop in the Arcipelago della Maddalena. Plunge into incredibly transparent, turquoise waters perfect for snorkeling and swimming. Reach the stunning white beaches by swimming, relax on the powdery sand, and bask in the Mediterranean sun. Spargi is renowned for its untouched beauty and tranquil atmosphere, offering a serene escape from the everyday.
Spiaggia Rosa (Pink Beach), Budelli Island
Witness the mesmerizing Spiaggia Rosa on Budelli Island, one of the world's most enchanting and protected beaches. As part of the Maddalena National Park, this geological marvel owes its unique coral-pink hue to crushed shells and coral fragments. While you can't walk on the beach or swim in its waters due to conservation efforts, the vibrant colors of the sea, the coral-colored sand, and the granite formations create a stunning spectacle. Immortalized in Michelangelo Antonioni's film "Deserto Rosso," this natural monument is a must-see destination for its unparalleled beauty.
Razzoli and Santa Maria Islands & Porto Madonna
Explore the rugged beauty of Razzoli and Santa Maria Islands, almost connected by the Passo degli Asinelli. Razzoli, the northernmost island, impresses with its majestic cliffs and sculptural rock formations reminiscent of Moore's artwork. Santa Maria boasts Cala Santa Maria, one of the archipelago's largest and most beautiful beaches. Discover the Porto Madonna, a lagoon of emerald waters nestled between Budelli, Razzoli, and Santa Maria. This captivating spot is a haven for yachters and offers designated areas for snorkeling and seawatching, revealing the vibrant underwater world of the park.
Cala Santa Maria Beach
Relax on the expansive Cala Santa Maria beach with its mesmerizing turquoise waters. Alternatively, explore the charming coves along the island's west coast, where you'll find stunning natural pools with turquoise waters that shimmer with a hint of white, sheltered from the eastern winds. This is the perfect spot to unwind and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Maddalena Archipelago.
Caprera Island (Alternative)
Venture to Caprera Island, an alternative destination depending on weather conditions. Discover Cala Coticcio, also known as "Tahiti," famous for its vibrant waters nestled among granite cliffs and lush Mediterranean vegetation. Relax in Cala Portese, which offers shallow, sandy seabed, perfect for snorkeling and relaxing. Enjoy the serene atmosphere of Porto Palma, a sheltered bay often used for overnight stops by sailboats. For those seeking a secluded escape, Punta Fico offers a wild and less-known bay surrounded by cliffs and lush greenery.
