La Maddalena Archipelago
The archipelago is generally considered one of the most picturesque places in the world, reflected by the formation of its National Park in 1994 to protect all the area’s resources recognised by the European Community.
This goes for its pristine, emerald-green waters and lush Mediterranean vegetation, its countless beaches and bays, and not forgetting its granite rock - all making it a place of rare beauty and of huge natural, historic and cultural value.
To access the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park, it is necessary to obtain the appropriate permits issued by the Park Authority for recreational boating, sport fishing, scuba diving, and other economic activities at sea.
With the exception of the island of La Maddalena, there are no restaurants or bars in the archipelago where food or drinks can be purchased. For this reason, it is necessary to bring your own food and beverages.
Access to the National Park of the Maddalena Archipelago is only possible with the correct authorisation from its managing body.
Caprera, a wild island waiting to be discovered!
Alongside Cala Coticcio, also known as Tahiti for the stunning transparency of its sea, there are many dreamlike coves characterized by fragrant and unspoiled nature, such as Cala Napoletana, Cala Brigantina, Cala Portese, Cala Serena, Cala Caprarese, and Cala Garibaldi. The latter takes its name from the Hero of the Two Worlds, Giuseppe Garibaldi, who spent the last years of his life on Caprera.Spargi Island, an untouched paradise.
Its charm of white sand and emerald waters is enhanced by the impenetrable inland area covered with rockrose, strawberry trees, junipers, and lentisk shrubs. Spargi shines especially along its southern and eastern coasts, where beaches of very fine white sand can be found: the turquoise reflections of Cala Corsara, the crystal brightness of Cala Soraya, Cala Conneri (also known as Cala dell’Amore), and Cala Granara.
Budelli is one of the most dazzling jewels of the La Maddalena Archipelago.
Famous for its turquoise waters and the Pink Beach, it is an inaccessible paradise, a mirage to be admired from afar. We will reach Spiaggia del Cavaliere, the Natural Pools (Piscine Naturali), Porto della Madonna, Passo del Topo, and Passo degli Asinelli: white sand, fine and soft as talcum powder, and crystal-clear waters in stunning turquoise shades. A small corner of paradise accessible only by boat, with restrictions in place to protect its environment and preserve its existence.Razzoli Island, located near the border with Corsica, is among the 60 islands and islets of the archipelago and is the one that retains the wildest character. The rocks shaped by the sea and wind appear as true natural sculptures. Some sheltered coves are real gems: Cala Cappello, Cala Noce, Cala Lunga, and Cala Bove Marino. The sea here ranges from light blue to deep blue, with seabeds rich in marine flora and fauna, making it perfect for snorkeling enthusiasts.
Santo Stefano Island, with its beautiful Baia del Pesce, along with other hidden corners of paradise that will be suggested to complete this unforgettable day. The island is also rich in history, such as Forte San Giorgio, also known as Napoleon’s Fort, built in 1773 to protect the channel between La Maddalena and northern Sardinia. From here, twenty years later, Napoleon coordinated the attack on the town of La Maddalena.
Santa Maria Island, the pearl of the far north of Sardinia and the island closest to the Strait of Bonifacio. We will explore its natural beauty, visit its impressive lighthouse, and stop at Cala Santa Maria, known for its very fine sand and crystal-clear waters.
