The hidden wonders of sardinia
Summer 2025. Limited availability.
USPOILED beaches, SECRET COVES & SUPERYACHTS
An island of Italy since 1861, Sardinia boasts amazing local, natural wines, stunning gourmet cuisine, and spectacular scuba diving and snorkeling locations.
Sardinia has some of the most incredible unspoiled sailing areas in the world. Secluded beaches, sparkling turquoise waters, the Costa Esmeralda and the stunning Maddalena archipelago national park and marine reserve are what sailors dream of.
The island is also home to the exclusive ports of Cervo and Coronado, where boutique shopping, spas and fresh seafood abound!
This trip features local Sardinian cuisine, natural wines and scuba and snorkeling opportunities in the breathtaking marine reserve of La Maddalena.
DAY 1: olbia
Olbia, Greek for “happiness,” is the perfect jumping off point for our sails around Sardinia. This coastal city features a historic center filled with archaeological landmarks, pizzerias, natural local wine bars, high-end boutiques, and delicious local eateries.
You can wander about the vibrant and lively shop-lined streets of Corso Umberto, leading up to a beautiful waterfront boasting a fantastic sea view. Enjoy a vibrant nightlife with live music, street entertainers, and fantastic people watching.
DAY 2: La Maddelena
La Maddalena, the only town in the Maddalena archipelago, is a perfect spot for boutique shopping and harbor side dining.
La Maddalena Archipelago National Park was established in 1996 as an integral and important part of the Bocche di Bonifacio International Marine Park. It has unique habitats, granite rocks shaped by the Maestrale and spectacular pink and golden beaches; Junipers, strawberry trees, mastic trees and myrtles. Rorquals, sperm whales, dolphins and turtles splash around in the crystal-clear sea.
DAY 3: isola di caprera
Caprera offers an unparalleled blend of history, natural beauty, and exclusivity. As the second-largest island in the Maddalena archipelago, Caprera’s eastern coastline is a realm of hidden wonders, accessible only by boat. Enveloped by towering pink granite cliffs and fragrant green shrubbery, this untouched paradise feels like a secret known only to the lucky few.
Dive into the crystalline waters of Cala Coticcio, fondly dubbed the "Sardinian Tahiti." This world-renowned scuba destination enchants divers and snorkelers alike with its vibrant marine life and mesmerizing underwater landscapes. For an equally breathtaking experience, anchor at Cala Portese, also known as Cove of the Two Seas. Here, shimmering turquoise waters caress both sides of the cove, creating a surreal oasis that’s perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or simply lounging in pure bliss.
DAY 4: cala di volpe
Step into a scene straight out of cinematic history as we anchor off the glamorous shores of Cala di Volpe, one of Sardinia’s most exclusive gems. Did you know that the iconic James Bond movie “The Spy Who Loved Me” was filmed here in 1977? Yes, it’s *that* beach—Capriccioli—where Bond’s legendary Lotus Esprit emerged from the sea, leaving audiences breathless. Now, you too can soak in the magic of this world-famous locale.
Nestled on Sardinia’s stunning northeastern coast, Cala di Volpe has long been a magnet for the international jet set, exuding timeless sophistication and Riviera charm. From the deck of your private catamaran, take in sweeping views of turquoise waters, powder-soft beaches, and the dramatic coastline that has captivated the elite for decades. It’s not uncommon to see superyachts of 100 or 150-feet anchored here, in their full, dazzling splendor. With its blend of cinematic allure and exclusive luxury, Cala di Volpe promises an experience that’s as unforgettable as it is indulgent.
DAY 5: porto cuervo
The undisputed capital of the Costa Smeralda, Porto Cervo was developed in the 1960s by Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, who fell in love with the region's unspoiled beauty. He brought together Swiss-French set designer Jacques Couelle and a team of renowned architects to craft an atmosphere of understated elegance. The village's unique architecture is characterized by pastel-colored buildings, curving streets, and picturesque piazzas designed to reflect Sardinia’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.
Porto Cervo boasts a world-class marina and is a gateway to stunning beaches such as Liscia Ruja, Spiaggia del Principe, and Romazzino. These beaches are celebrated for their crystal-clear water, powdery white sand, and dramatic rock formations. The emerald-green waters and rugged coastline of the Costa Smeralda are perfect for water sports, snorkeling, and exploring hidden coves by boat.
