Porto turistico Marina di Baunei e Santa Maria Navarrese

Opened in 1998, this modern marina on Sardinia's wild eastern coast can berth up to 380 boats and sits right at the foot of the Ogliastra mountains, which naturally shield you from the wind — a genuinely rare setup. The staff are well-regarded for being hands-on and helpful, though expect to pay a premium for the spot (around €174 for an 18-meter vessel). It's your gateway to some of the most dramatic, road-inaccessible coastline in the Mediterranean, including the sea caves and cliffs of the Baunei plateau.
