With its stunning views, delicious food and friendly locals, Golfo Aranci is truly a hidden gem of the Mediterranean.
Bottlenose Dolphins
Golfo Aranci is home to a pod of bottlenose dolphins--and there are various ways to view these magnificent creatures. Rent a boat to sail alongside them or try stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking for a closer encounter with these playful marine inhabitants.

The city is surrounded by beautiful beaches, lush forests and historical sites that date back thousands of years.

Cala di Volpe and Porto Cervo
Take a scenic tour to Cala di Volpe and Porto Cervo to admire both nature's infinite craftsmanship and man-made luxury as well. Along the way you’ll discover vast landscapes completely untouched, its territory covering more than 50 miles of coastline. In this gorgeous terrain of rolling granite hills covered in wild olive trees, a number of amazing resorts have been developed, and now enjoy international renown. While Cala di Volpe is known for its luxury and seclusion, Porto Cervo has a bustling marina, shops and restaurants. It’s also home to some of the most expensive real estate in Italy and it's known for its glamorous A-list parties and exclusive events.
The Maddalena Archipelago
Take a tour of the Maddalena Archipelago, a collection of islands in the Strait of Bonifacio, positioned between Corsica and northeastern Sardinia. The largest island is Isola Maddalena, home to the archipelago's largest town, La Maddalena. Maddalena shares the same crystal-clear waters and wind-blown granite coastlines of much of Sardinia, while also remaining a haven for wildlife. It’s designated National Park, the Parco Nazionale Arcipelago di La Maddalena, allows us on Somma to explore some of the most beautiful scenery this region has to offer.
Cala Sabina Beach
Cala Sabina is a hidden gem, located in a small bay just outside of Golfo Aranci. It's a tranquil and secluded beach, surrounded by lush vegetation and towering cliffs. The water is crystal clear, making it ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking. The beach has soft, white sand and is rarely crowded--a perfect place to relax and unwind with a glass of crisp white wine in your hand, reflecting on the magic of the world that surrounds you.
Why I Love Golfo Aranci
Sardinia’s Golfo Aranci (‘Gulf Of The Oranges’) offers an irresistible allure for travelers, both above and below the sea's surface. For me, it was an undeniable choice for Somma Italia. Getting a chance to see and interact with the playful bottlenose dolphins, together with the mesmerizing natural wonders this area is known for promise completely unique experiences from the ordinary Italian vacation. On the island, I found moments of total relaxation that were absolutely unparalleled. Like me, I bet you’ll want to return here immediately. Golfo Aranci beckons you!
