General presentation

Costa Smeralda and La Maddalena

North-east Sardinian turquoise coves, granite, protected archipelago, chic harbours and panoramic roads.

Archipelago of La Maddalena, Porto Cervo and Caprera give the most telling landmarks of Costa Smeralda and La Maddalena. Together, they make up a destination where the coastline, island landscapes and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.

See all

For a stay of 4 to 8 days, it is best to balance visits and travel times. Also to anticipate: very expensive in high season and boats to organize. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Place

Archipel de La Maddalena

4.4 / 5· Hidengo2 hrs to half a day

The archipelago of La Maddalena consists of island forms and sea passages where the light changes the scale at each crossing. An approach per island, then back to Cape Town, reveals a network of visual textures: sand, rocks, villages, water. It is a geography of navigation and rhythm.

Town or village

Porto Cervo

4.4 / 5· Hidengo1 hr 30 min to half a day

Porto Cervo It is read through its interface between maritime space and urban structure. The docks, alleys and accesses make up an experience of constant movement. Interest is located in the transitions: from a lively front, up to quieter areas, then back to the water.

Place

Palau

4.3 / 5· Hidengo1 to 2 hrs

Palau faces the archipelago of La Maddalena, with a very present port, departures of ferries and rocks carved by the wind. Beyond the promenade, the beaches and the formation of the Roccia dell-Orso give the place a more mineral dimension, between practical stop and coastal landscape.
