From Olbia to Olbia.

Porto Cervo is the glittering heart of the Costa Smeralda—a glamorous port that attracts royalty, celebrities, and the world’s most impressive superyachts. Its sheltered harbor is home to one of the Mediterranean’s best-equipped yacht clubs and hosts some of the globe’s most prestigious regattas. Stroll the marina, shop designer boutiques, and dine at waterfront restaurants buzzing with summer energy. Beyond the nightlife and luxury, Porto Cervo also offers pristine beaches and crystal waters for a refreshing swim.

La Maddalena is the crown jewel of its namesake archipelago, a cluster of over 60 islands scattered like jewels across turquoise seas. The main island is the only one permanently inhabited, yet it remains wild and unspoiled. Explore photogenic coves, sun-drenched beaches, and national park trails. Octopus Head Beach is a favorite spot for snorkeling, where the waters shimmer with vibrant marine life.

At the southern tip of Corsica, Bonifacio rises dramatically from white limestone cliffs that plunge straight into the sea. Its medieval citadel looms above a sheltered marina, where yachts bob in the shadow of centuries-old ramparts. Wander the cobbled lanes of the old town, take in breathtaking views from the cliffside esplanades, and visit landmarks such as the Convent of St. Francis. On a clear day, Sardinia is visible across the strait, just a stone’s throw away.

Budelli is one of the most iconic islands in the La Maddalena Archipelago, famed for Spiaggia Rosa – the legendary “Pink Beach.” Its blush-colored sands, created by microscopic marine organisms, contrast strikingly with the turquoise sea. Though access is restricted to preserve this natural wonder, sailing past offers unforgettable views. Quiet anchorages nearby provide ideal swimming and snorkeling spots.

Caprera is an island of rugged beauty and historical significance. Once home to Italian revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi, whose house is now a museum, Caprera is also a protected national park. Sparse habitation has kept its landscapes pristine – expect fragrant pine forests, rocky cliffs, and hidden bays where you can drop anchor for a swim in crystal waters.

Cannigione, once a quiet fishing village, is now a lively gateway to the Costa Smeralda. Its long sandy beach and calm waters are ideal for a relaxed swim, while its reputation as a diving hub makes it a magnet for snorkelers and scuba enthusiasts. Wander the harbor town’s shops and trattorias, or venture inland to discover Sardinia’s rustic countryside.

Isola Mortorio, part of La Maddalena National Park, is a protected island where nature reigns supreme. Steep cliffs, dense vegetation, and quiet coves provide refuge for rare bird species such as Audouin’s gulls and peregrine falcons. Its white sand beaches and glassy waters feel untouched by time, offering a secluded paradise for a day of relaxation. Access is carefully managed to preserve the island’s fragile ecosystem, making it all the more special.

Olbia, gateway to Sardinia, blends cosmopolitan flair with coastal charm. Its lively waterfront is lined with restaurants, gelaterias, and boutiques, while the old town reveals Roman ruins and historic churches. In summer, the city comes alive late into the night, with families and friends strolling the pedestrian promenades and savoring gelato under the stars. It’s the perfect place to conclude your Sardinian adventure.
