We are standing before one of the most vibrant and lively capitals of tourism in northern Sardinia. Its territory includes more hamlets, villages, and localities than The Beatles have platinum records.
Quantity and quality. This is perhaps the combination that best describes Arzachena and its surrounding area, so overflowing with breathtakingly beautiful places that it inspires an irresistible urge to explore every single corner without delay.
The most famous destinations embody an exclusive lifestyle, attracting every summer the international jet set and some of the most influential people in the world. Cala di Volpe, Porto Cervo, Baja Sardinia, and Poltu Quatu are iconic locations of the Costa Smeralda, with their paradise-like beaches and glamorous atmosphere typical of this stretch of coastline, dotted with luxury boutiques and seas filled with yachts that contribute to a postcard-perfect scenery instantly recognizable worldwide.
But Arzachena is also captivating for its town center, colorful, lively, and well-kept, set within a natural context with almost ancestral and magical contours, thanks to the typical granite of Gallura, which here forms imaginative shapes resembling animals and plants, such as the Mushroom Rock, the town’s symbol.
The treasures of Arzachena do not end here. Another essential part of its vast heritage is archaeology, with sites such as the Nuraghe Albucciu and La Prisgiona, the necropolis of Li Muri, the small temple of Malchittu, and the Giants’ Tombs of Moru, Coddu ’Ecchju, and Li Golghi. A collection of archaeological jewels that shows how this is not just a simple town, but a universe where history and nature come together to create one of the most exclusive spectacles in the world.
