Located on the south coast of Sardinia, the Baia delle Ginestre is a world away from the famously chic resorts around the Costa Smeralda on the north of the island.
Here you won’t find the international jet set, just endless kms of long sandy beaches, rocky coves and some fantastic sunsets. Also, a coffee and an ice cream won’t cost the earth.
The beaches of Piscinnì, Tuerredda, Su Giudeu, Porto Pino and Cala Cipolla are all between 3 and 15 kms from the resort, ideal for exploring the area by e-bike before flopping down on the beach for the afternoon.
Other nearby attractions include the Grotte dei Zuddas caves filled with stalactites and stalagmites around 30 minutes’ drive from the hotel, and the Roman amphitheatre at Nora Pula around 45 minutes’ away.
If you'd like to try even more watersports during your stay, kitesurfing, windsurfing and windfoil lessons are also available at Cala Cipolla.
Nightlife in the area around the accommodation is basically non-existent, ideal for those looking to relax and get away from it all, not so much if you like to go out of an evening. The nearest town with a few bars and restaurants is Pula, around 30 mins' drive away on the road towards Cagliari.
