Cala Villamarina

4.3 (29 reviews)

Cala Villamarina sits along one of Gallura's most dramatic stretches of coastline, where granite cliffs carved by the wind drop down to meet long sandy shores and crystalline water. The setting is classic northeastern Sardinia — raw, rugged, and genuinely beautiful — with the sculpted rock formations and wind-shaped dunes that make this corner of the island so distinctive. You're also well-placed here to explore the wider Lu Palau area, with its famous rock formations and the nearby Archipelago of La Maddalena just a short hop away.
