Italy · Sardinia
The Costa Smeralda, La Maddalena and the white cliffs of Bonifacio.
Overview
North-eastern Sardinia is the Mediterranean at its purest. The Costa Smeralda and Porto Cervo are the heart of European yachting, while the 62 islands of the La Maddalena archipelago hold water that rivals the Caribbean. Cross the Strait of Bonifacio and you enter Corsica, where white cliffs plunge into impossibly clear water.
Where to dine
Beach club and restaurant on the water — book a sunset table for aperitivo.
The area's best lobster alla catalana. Uncompromising Sardinian cooking.
Views over Cala di Volpe — dentex carpaccio and seafood tagliolini.
Inland Sardinian fare — malloreddus, suckling pig with myrtle, aged cheeses.
Corsican cooking on the old port — local charcuterie, fresh brocciu, Niellucciu wine.
What to do
Sea access only — the sand is pink from crushed coral. A protected reserve.
The 'Sardinian Tahiti' — fine white sand and two-tone turquoise water.
Sardinia's most important nuraghe, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
A Genoese citadel poised on the cliff — reached on foot via the stairways.
12km of currents and islands — technical sailing, unmatched scenery.
