Sardinia · La Maddalena

The clearest water in the Mediterranean, Italy's most secluded beaches, routes known only to an experienced skipper. Seven days in the La Maddalena archipelago — one of Europe's most protected marine national parks.

The archipelago

Waters you will not forget

The La Maddalena archipelago is a marine national park of seven main islands and dozens of islets. Budelli, Spargi, Santa Maria, Razzoli and Caprera are only reachable by boat: no roads, no crowds, only the sound of the sea and the sails.

The water shifts from turquoise to emerald green within metres of sailing — the result of rocky seabeds, white sand and undisturbed posidonia meadows. The seabeds of Secca del Diavolo and Cala Corsara are among the most extraordinary snorkelling spots in the Mediterranean.

The other Sardinia

The itinerary includes an evening in Porto Cervo, the capital of the Costa Smeralda, where you moor among yachts of every size and dine on the waterfront in an atmosphere that blends informal luxury with Sardinian conviviality.

The contrast between the natural reserve of La Maddalena and the liveliness of Porto Cervo is part of the experience — the Sardinia you never see from a resort. The return sail departs the following morning, with the bay still nearly empty.
