One of the world's most glamorous and exclusive beaches lies in a picturesque bay in the heart of the Costa Smeralda, popular with VIPs and paparazzi alike! Grande Pevero is located in the Arzachena region, just a few kilometers from Porto Cervo. This corner of paradise, with its three-hundred-meter-long white sandy beach, changing emerald and turquoise waters, granite rocks and lush vegetation, is the ideal place to drop anchor.
Cala Di Volpe, located in the heart of the Costa Smeralda, has all the glitz and glamour that this part of the Sardinian coast has to offer, but with a little more tranquility, as it is less developed than some of its more popular neighbors. A former fishing village, Cala di Volpe boasts pastel-colored houses and a classic Mediterranean harbor, set against the backdrop of the Golfo Aranci and Isola Tavolara mountains. You'll also find perfect beaches with a laid-back atmosphere, perfect for one of your quieter rental days.
Beautiful Budelli is one of the most charismatic spots on the La Maddalena archipelago. With its turquoise waters and pink sands of Spiaggia Rosa, charter guests are sure to swoon over the chance to sunbathe and swim on this beach - although access to the sand is forbidden. Part of the wild lands of the National Park, Budelli is a rare pearl that almost glows pink. For the last century, the island was protected and privately owned before being taken over by the state. It is still protected, but charter guests can admire it from the deck of their yacht before exploring the beautiful coves and islets nearby.
Known as the secret islands of Sardinia, La Maddalena gives its name to an archipelago of some sixty islands and islets off the northeast coast. The island of the same name is the only permanently inhabited island in this group. The national park is famous for its photogenic beaches and translucent seas, including Tête d'Octopus beach. You'll want to get out your snorkel and dive to see what lies beneath the blue. The best beaches are Bassa Trinità, Cala Francese and Spiaggia di Monte di Rena, but any beach is sure to please. Charter guests can also explore the town of La Maddalena for a charming stroll through the narrow streets.
Founded by Rafael Neville, Count of Berlanga del Duero in the 1960s, this small center is characterized by its picturesque square overlooking Cala Inglese and its pretty white houses with colorful gardens. Porto Rafael is a well-known summer vacation destination, visited by celebrities and film stars thanks to the Count's family history (his father being Hollywood film director Edgar Neville), and it's also a great place for families with its mix of leisure activities and lively social scene, though quieter than Porto Cervo. If you're there on August 11, you can attend the annual event in the village square, where participants dance in white tunics to celebrate the Count's birthday!
