Holiday apartment in Solanas: Beach, nature and water sports

A holiday apartment in Solanas is particularly appealing because it combines the beach, coastal landscapes and active experiences. Spiaggia di Solanas is just under 1 km long and lies in a bay between the headland of Capo Boi and Punta Porto Perdosu. This makes it possible to get to know the area through its distinctive landscape: from the shallow shoreline to the Mediterranean maquis and the coastal waters.

Beach landscape between bay and nature

The southern section of Spiaggia di Solanas lies within the Costa di Cagliari area (ITB040021), a Site of Community Importance in the Natura 2000 network. The Rio Solanas flows into the sea in the southeastern section; it carries water predominantly seasonally. At the southern end, a large sand dune lies on the slope of the Capo Boi headland. The protected Phoenician juniper also grows in the coastal area.

Holiday apartment in Solanas between beach and coast

The water close to the shore at Spiaggia di Solanas is initially shallow and then quickly becomes deeper. It is rich in fish, which can be observed with a mask and snorkel. Solanas’s exposure to the wind makes windsurfing and kitesurfing possible. In Solanas, you can rent inflatable boats and other small watercraft to explore nearby stretches of coast. There is also a diving school for exploring the surrounding coastal waters. Anyone planning to alternate between observation and activity in Solanas can consider the fish in the waters close to shore, the wind, as well as nearby stretches of coast and the surrounding coastal waters separately.

Path through the Mediterranean maquis

A trekking route leads from Spiaggia di Solanas beach through the Mediterranean maquis to Torre di Capo Boi. The route connects the beach as a starting point with an experience of the landscape away from the immediate shoreline. If, when choosing your holiday destination, you would like to include paths and nature alongside the water, this trekking route is one specific point of reference for your planning.

A distinctive feature offshore

The underwater nativity scene of Solanas dates back to 1995. On 16 December 2017, it was installed in a natural cave off Spiaggia di Solanas beach. Visitors interested in culture can take this feature into account during a stay on the Solanas coast.

Spaghetti alla bottarga in Solanas

Spaghetti alla bottarga is part of Solanas’s culinary offering. The speciality is served there and is still prepared according to a traditional recipe today. This flavour can add an extra accent if, alongside the beach, nature and activities, the local cuisine is also to contribute to the choice of holiday destination. Anyone who also wants to include local cuisine in Solanas can plan spaghetti alla bottarga as a culinary highlight.

Solanas as a base for different kinds of holiday days

Spiaggia di Solanas can be reached via the SP17 coastal road to the village of Solanas. Solanas offers a clearly recognisable range of themes, without requiring you to commit to just one type of coastal experience.
