A mystical island in Sardinia's La Maddalena archipelago, Razzoli is undoubtedly one of the most rugged and beautiful. Home to old-world lighthouses, mythical tombs, soaring granite cliffs, and crystalline waters, Razzoli is a rare gem. While the isle is small, at 1.5 km, it is also completely uninhabited, making it a peaceful place for dropping anchor, exploring, swimming, and snorkeling. The main beach of Razzoli is Cala Lunga, which has verdant green foliage, fine white sands, and access only by sea.
Sardinia’s beach scene never fails to disappoint. Golden sand meets turquoise waters and Mediterranean magic at Conca Verde. Sitting on the north coast and part of the municipality of Santa Teresa di Gallura, this beach is the very vision of calm. The seabed consists of sand and soft pebbles, the water is warm and gentle with barely a ripple breaking the surface, and pale rocks rise out of the shallows. The shore itself is adorned with fragrant shrubs that are synonymous with southern Europe. A nearby rental service offers loungers and parasols for days spent sprawling but with your yacht anchored close by, you can swim and sun yourself on deck with scenic vistas.
This picturesque, sheltered bay lying on the northern side of the island of La Maddalena offers beautiful white sands on which to relax along with crystal clear waters to jump in to, and a jetty to take a stroll along and capture some postcard perfect photos.
The third largest island of La Maddalena's archipelego, this beautiful island is uninhabited due to its rugged nature.
Nicknamed the secret islands of Sardinia, La Maddalena lends its name to an archipelago of around 60 isles and islands on the northeast coast. The island of the same name is the only permanently inhabited island in this collection. The national park is famous for its photogenic beaches and translucent seas, with Octopus Head Beach being one such example. You will want to pull out your snorkel and plunge in to see what sits beneath the blue. The best beaches include Bassa Trinità, Cala Francese, and Spiaggia di Monte di Rena, but truly, any beach you choose is bound to be bliss. Charter guests can also explore the town of La Maddalena for a charming stroll through the narrow streets.
Nicely nestled halfway between Bonifacio and Porto Vecchio, Rondinara is an unspoilt environment of startling white sands and captivating crystalline waters. Known for its perfect crescent shape that forms a delightful basin for both bathing and snorkelling, the bay is bordered by thin forests of wispy pine and the occasional beach bar. Continuously voted one of the world's most beautiful beaches, this heavenly hideaway is ideal for those seeking a slice of sun-soaked respite. Charter guests can take to the land for scenic walks through perfumed scrubland or instead stick to a slower pace atop a comfortably cushioned sun lounger. During the winter months, local cows claim the beach to themselves, before making way for the sun-seekers and sailboats that take advantage of this idyllic anchoring spot.
On the south coast of Corsica, Porto Vecchio's splendid harbour is the resting place for hundreds of luxury yachts who choose to sail to Corsica each summer. In addition to the fantastic shopping and restaurants in the area, you can enjoy stunning landscapes and are spoiled for choice with a selection of magnificent beaches. From here, discover the beautiful, white Palombaggia beach, shaded with pine trees and clear waters of all shades of green and blue.
The pearl of southern Corsica, Santa Giulia is a bright and balmy spot with shallow waters that seem to gulp down the sun. The palest shades of cornflower blue are powdered beneath with sand and seagrass meadows. Silvery fish teem beneath the surface and the beach is backed with overhanging shrubs and green shade, offering a cool place for kicking back. Cozy eateries sometimes spill out onto the beach for those who want to sip and graze on Corsican delights. Watersport enthusiasts will find plenty to turn up the dial on their adrenaline levels, with everything from tubing and waterskiing on offer. Beyond the beach, you can explore the vivid red rocks and even saddle up for a spot of horse riding.
Here you will be spellbound by this natural paradise of transparent waters with endless hues of turquoise and emerald greens...
On stunning white, limestone cliffs at the south end of Corsica lies the spectacular harbour town of Bonifacio. The old citadel, perched on the precipice, rises high above the sea, overlooking the natural harbour below, that has sheltered many boats of the centuries and is now a modern marina. Steeped in history, there are plenty of sights to explore along the cobblestone streets of the old town, along with its fabulous viewpoints along the ramparts. Some of the medieval townhouses that dominate these cliffs are a few stories high, but only one room deep. Worth a visit is the beautiful maritime cemetery and the old convent of St Francois. On a clear day, from the Esplanade St Francois, you can see right across the bay to Sardinia.
