Lu Caloni Bay

4.3 (29 reviews)

Lu Caloni is a small, sheltered bay tucked along the rugged granite coastline of Isola Rossa in northern Gallura, where the water shifts from jade to deep blue against sun-bleached rock formations typical of this stretch of Sardinia. The surrounding landscape is classic Gallura — raw, scrubby macchia, wind-sculpted granite, and a coastline that feels genuinely untouched. You're well-placed here to explore the broader Isola Rossa area, including its small fishing village with local restaurants and a modest marina just a short distance away. The granite headlands framing the bay offer natural wind protection and some of the clearest water in the region.
