A long, unspoiled stretch of nearly three kilometres, Scivu is framed by low dunes and Mediterranean scrub and deep emerald green waters. Wild and wonderfully open, it remains one of the most pristine beaches along Sardinia’s southwest coast.

Tucked between the reddish rugged cliffs just outside Buggerru, Cala Domestica is a proper hidden gem. Beyond the main cove, a narrow path carved into the rock leads to a smaller, more secluded beach – quieter, more intimate, and often nearly empty.

Rising dramatically from the sea off the coast of Masua, Pan di Zucchero is a towering limestone stack and the tallest sea stack in the Mediterranean. Best admired from the cliffs near Porto Flavia or by boat, its pale rock glows against the deep blue water, making it one of the most iconic silhouettes along the southwest coast.
