cala mariolu
Cala Mariolu is one of the most beautiful beaches on the east coast of beautiful Sardinia and the Gulf of Orosei. A dip in the sea that looks painted. It is also known as ‘is puligi de nie’ (the snow fleas) for the round white and pink pebbles that look like snowflakes.

Cala dei gabbiani
A natural continuation of Cala Mariolu, it has the same characteristics. A hidden gem, less famous but just as beautiful, in the Baunei area. A southern corner of paradise in the Gulf of Orosei. Very close is Cala delle Sorgenti, whose name derives from the freshwater springs that flow into the sea from the limestone rock.

Cala goloritzé
One of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean: a painting born of a fantastic dream. The seabed is surreally beautiful and the turquoise waters flow from underwater karst springs. The natural arch and the famous 143-metre-high pyramid-shaped spire are the backdrop to this Natural Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994.
