A holiday apartment in Sos Alinos can also be chosen according to the experiences that interest you most during your stay.

Lagoon, Bays and Coastal Forest

Stagno di Sos Alinos lies behind Cala Liberotto and is lined with reeds and agaves. The body of water provides a habitat for resident and migratory birds. This makes nature the central feature of the area, shaped not only by its landscape but also by its wildlife. Cala Liberotto itself is an emerald-green bay with coarse-grained golden sand and pale rocks.

Around Sos Alinos, the Oasi di Biderosa encompasses five white-sand bays within an 860-hectare coastal forest. To protect the environment, the Oasi limits the number of visitors; entry and services can be reserved online. Cala Liberotto can be reached from Sos Alinos via the SS 125 towards Orosei, following the signs near the beginning of the town.

Local History and Living Traditions

The Church of Sant'Antonio Abate is located at Piazzale S. Antonio Abate 1, 08028 Sos Alinos, Orosei. The premises of the Borgata Sos Alinos were inaugurated in 1962. The rural settlement was established on the initiative of the Cassa di Mezzogiorno and financed with state funds. Since the early 1980s, Sos Alinos has also had a tradition of residents of the borgata building allegorical floats.

In 2014, there was a San Giovanni festival featuring locally produced suckling pig; in 2026, a tasting of roasted and stewed lamb was planned. As part of the celebration, the saint was taken on an ox cart to Cala Liberotto's main beach after the religious ceremony. Local folk groups accompanied the procession in traditional dress.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Sos Alinos, you can use your preferred daily rhythm as a starting point: nature observation at the stagno, coastal scenery at Cala Liberotto and Biderosa, cycling tours starting in the town or cultural impressions appeal to different interests.
