#2 IN THE WORLD

THE WORLD'S MOST DRAMATIC BEACH SETTING

While Sardinia has many spectacular beaches, Cala Mariolu stands out for its striking beauty everywhere you turn and the sense of privacy and adventure it offers. Located along the eastern coast of Sardinia, it is accessible only by boat or hiking trails, which ensures that visitors can experience the area's natural beauty in a very personal way. The smaller cove, framed by rugged cliffs and lush greenery, ensures beachgoers enjoy amazing views from every angle, whether on land or in the water. Many also hike the surrounding cliffs to see the beach in all its glory and capture breathtaking views from above. From the top, the views are extraordinary, showcasing the water's varying shades, from deep sapphire to bright aquamarine, which contrast beautifully with the pristine white pebble beach below.
