Padule Bay

4.3 (29 reviews)

Padule is a sheltered bay tucked along the rugged coastline of La Maddalena, part of the stunning La Maddalena Archipelago National Park — one of the most protected and pristine marine areas in the Mediterranean. The water here is impossibly clear, with that signature turquoise-to-deep-blue gradient that makes this corner of Sardinia so hard to leave. You're well-placed to explore the surrounding islands by dinghy or on foot, with the granite-sculpted landscapes and white sand beaches that define this part of Gallura Nord-Est Sardegna just minutes away.
