Off the north coast of Sardinia, 20 minutes by boat from the port of Palau, lies the La Maddalena archipelago. Home to over 60 stunning islands, which are best explored by boat, so you can find the secret, remote corners inaccessible on foot; it is the perfect spot for your sailboat charter! Scattered with glorious turquoise lagoons such as Porto della Madonna, and some incredible beaches like Spalmatore and Monte Rena where glistening azure waters meet pristine sands. Some of the most popular islands are Maddalena and Caprera, two of only three islands in the archipelago which are inhabited. The island of Budelli is home to what is considered to be Italy’s most famous beach: Spiaggia Rosa. Famed from Antonioni’s 1964 film, ‘Il Deserto Rosso’, the beach is home to striking pink sands, which, though cordoned off since 1993 in an effort to protect the land, you can still pay a visit to. The rugged cliffs and coastline make La Maddalena archipelago a beautiful place to explore during your sailboat charter, so don’t miss out on the chance to sail these gorgeous waters.
