Holiday apartment in Golfo Aranci between coves and beaches

Cala Moresca has two separate beaches in a small cove. Near the shore, the water is initially shallow, becoming deeper farther out. Its color ranges from emerald green to turquoise; rock formations rise from the clear water. If, when choosing your holiday apartment, you value specific coastal scenery and changing water zones, Cala Moresca offers a particularly clear connection to these features.

Le Cinque Spiagge has parking, bars and bathing establishments. This combination may play a role in planning a beach day if, in addition to the coastal area, you also want to take the facilities available there into account. Cala Sassari is a destination for diving, snorkeling and underwater fishing enthusiasts. This gives active engagement with the underwater world a concrete place in your travel planning.

Nature and water as travel ideas

Capo Figari and the offshore island of Figarolo are designated as a Site of Community Importance and are considered areas of great biodiversity. This adds a clear natural focus alongside the beach and water sports themes. If you choose accommodation based on your travel interests, this biological diversity can be an important focus.

A one-kilometer footpath connects the SP 82 with Cala Sabina beach. Those who enjoy getting around on foot can include this specific route in their day’s planning. Cala Sabina also has a transport history: the railway line built in the 1960s connected the town center of Golfo Aranci with the coastal settlement, which until then could only be reached by sea. This gives your planning both a clearly measured route and the history of a coastal town.

Railway history as part of the townscape

Golfo Aranci railway station is the terminus of the Cagliari–Golfo Aranci line, which has existed since 1883. The town’s history therefore includes not only the coast but also a clear connection to the railway. If you value historical context when choosing your holiday apartment, this aspect can complement your decision about the location.

Culture with a maritime connection

The Pozzo Sacro di Milis is evidence of the Nuragic culture. It was used by ships visiting the coast of Figari to replenish their water supplies. MuMart adds another perspective on this cultural history: founded in 2016, the museum is dedicated to modern underwater art. For you, the cultural spectrum thus extends from the Nuragic culture and maritime use to modern underwater art.

More places to include in your Sardinia planning

Other places to include in your planning are Cugnana, Portisco, Pantogia, Lu Lioni, Tempio Pausania, Tanaunella, Sant Antonio Di Gallura and Ruoni.
