Cala Levante

✨ Hidden gem

Cala Levante is a wild and rugged bay near Palau, tucked into the dramatic granite coastline of northeast Sardinia where boulder-strewn hills tumble straight into the sea. The surrounding Gallura landscape is dense with myrtle, pine, and holm oak — classic Mediterranean scrub that frames the water in deep greens. You're well-placed here to explore the Maddalena Archipelago, just a short distance offshore, with its famous turquoise shallows and protected marine scenery.
