MADDALENA ARCHIPELAGO

BUDELLI
The island of Budelli is famous for its splendid Spiaggia Rosa (Pink Beach), one of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean. It boasts much foraminifera and other marine micro-organisms, which when ground by the waves and spread over the shore, give the very fine sand a particular pink shade, matching the surrounding granite rocks. The beach is now protected and access to its environmentally threatened sands and waters is forbidden. The pink beach in Budelli is also shown in "Deserto rosso", a film by Michelangelo Antonioni.

CAPRERA
Caprera is the second-largest island of our archipelago. It has been classified as a natural reserve since 1980 and its coast and interior are truly unique. Some places on the island are classified as top environmental protection, areas and are protected by the regulations of the National Park of the Maddalena Archipelago. Its coast is so jagged that it suddenly reveals heavenly coves, inaccessible granite cliffs and tiny beaches with a unique character. The colour of the sea that bathes Caprera has shades ranging from turquoise to deep blue and emerald green. You won’t easily forget them.

LA MADDALENA
Named after the archipelago itself, this is the biggest and busiest of the islands and it is where you'll arrive with the private yacht you have booked. You'll be amazed at the stunning beaches and coves awaiting discovery, the more remote and smaller ones are often surprisingly devoid of crowds. La Maddalena is today, with its historic village, included in the list of "The most beautiful villages in Italy"; its uncontaminated nature and a panorama characterized by the continuous succession of glimpses of sea and land, punctuated by yachts, enchants lovers of naturalistic sceneries with scenarios of extraordinary beauty, unique in the world.

SANTO STEFANO
Santo Stefano is located between the island of La Maddalena and Palau. It is a very small and highly evocative island. The waters surrounding it have a different colour to that of the sea around the other islands of the archipelago, leaning towards an intense and full emerald green.

Santo Stefano is a natural oasis, a unique white and pink block of granite, whose highest peak is the Monte Zucchero, 100 meters above sea level. Discover the Napoleonic Tower, which owes its name to the fact that Napoleon was hosted in it. All the beaches on Santo Stefano Island are wonderful but one, the Spiaggia del Pesce, surpasses them all in terms of beauty and charm. The sand is very white, fine and compact.

SPARGI
Spargi is the third largest island in the archipelago. Surrounded by a difficult sea that in some places becomes treacherous due to the presence of numerous shoals, Spargi is probably the most unspoiled of the islands of the La Maddalena Archipelago, despite being among the most popular for the beauty of its beaches mainly concentrated in the southeastern part. Some of the beaches to see include Cala Conneri and Cala Corsara, but there are lots of little ones all over the south and east coasts of the island.

SANTA MARIA
The most exciting part of a visit to Isola Santa Maria is the journey across the crystal-clear aquamarine waters that lap its southern shores – known as Porto della Madonna or Porto Madonna, this area is renowned as one of the world's most gorgeous seascapes. On the island itself, yachts and boats typically stop at the often-crowded Cala Santa Maria.

The island of Santa Maria is separated to the west from the nearby Razzoli Island by the narrow Asinelli Pass and, to the south, from the Island of Budelli by the Porto della Madonna, the incredible stretch of sea whose waters with a thousand shades of light blue, azure and dark blue, have become the symbol of the paradise protected by the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park.

RAZZOLI
Located North of the island of Budelli, Razzoli is the fifth largest island in the La Maddalena Archipelago, covering just over one square kilometer with a coastline stretching over twelve kilometers. Among the 60 islands and islets in the archipelago, Razzoli stands out as the wildest. It serves as a barrier with its high granite cliffs against the harsh weather of the often-turbulent sea in the northern extremity of Sardinia. Some sheltered coves are true ‘gems,’ such as Cala Cappello, Cala Noce, and Cala Lunga, only accessible by sea and featuring pebbles and fine sand
