Holiday apartment in Isola Rossa: beaches, coastline and water sports
Accommodation in Isola Rossa
Isola Rossa between the granite coast and the sea
Isola Rossa takes its name from the offshore granite island with its intense pink colouring. The landscape around the town is shaped by rocks, coves and the sea. A special natural setting is provided by the SIC “Isola Rossa - Costa Paradiso”, a protected area recognised by the European Union for the conservation of priority habitats and species in accordance with the Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Isola Rossa, you can therefore focus on the experiences you want your holiday to centre around. At Li Feruli Beach, the seabed is sandy and shallow near the shore. At the same time, the beach is usually exposed to the wind, making it particularly attractive to windsurfers and kitesurfers. Different forms of coastal experience therefore come together here.
Holiday apartment in Isola Rossa between the beach and coastal landscape
La Marinedda lies in a bay surrounded by granite rocks and Mediterranean maquis. The bay is a short distance from the town of Isola Rossa; its waters invite you to go snorkelling and explore the seabed. The surrounding landscape also offers one of the most characteristic views of Gallura. Those looking for accommodation or a holiday home can incorporate these different coastal scenes into their personal holiday planning.
An easy panoramic walk of around one hour follows the “Isola Rossa – Torre Aragonese – Punta Li Canneddi” route along the rocky coast around Isola Rossa. The route combines exercise with views of the coastal landscape and adds a manageable active stage to your stay.
Diving and water sports around Isola Rossa
Diving around Isola Rossa includes dive sites for all certification levels, including Parete del Coniglio and Secca di Porto Leccio. Advanced divers will find suitable sites such as Canyon del Vikingo and Rocca Ruja. Experienced divers with the required qualifications can also explore cave and cavern dive sites such as Camelot and Tana di Gavino.
At Spiaggia Longa, you can rent canoes, pedal boats, dinghies and jet skis, as well as go water-skiing. This allows you to experience the maritime side of Isola Rossa in different ways: by calmly observing the seabed, walking along the rocky coast or spending active days on the water.
Getting there and maritime destinations
Isola Rossa can be reached by car in around one hour from the main arrival points of Olbia, Alghero and Porto Torres. Marina Isola Rossa is a suitable starting point for boaters wishing to reach Asinara National Park or the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park. When choosing your holiday apartment, these interests in the landscape and excursions may therefore be just as important as the desired combination of beach, walks, diving and water sports.
