What to do in Budoni? Beaches and tips for your holidays
Of all the places on the eastern coast of Sardinia, we recommend you to spend your holidays in Budoni, a tourist center located halfway between Gallura and Baronia. Less known than the most exclusive destinations of the Costa Smeralda, San Teodoro and the wonderful towns of Baronia and Ogliastra overlooking the Gulf of Orosei, Budoni is a destination to be discovered, where there is certainly no shortage of attractions and things to see.
If you are looking for a destination that offers the opportunity to easily explore a vast territory, ranging from the chic and sophisticated resorts of Arzachena to the adventurous Dorgali, passing through the modern and cosmopolitan Olbia, the medieval Posada and the traditional Siniscola, then Budoni is the right place!
Choose the village of southern Gallura as a starting point for your holidays and you will not regret it.
If at this point you are still wondering what to do in Budoni, here are some suggestions.
The center is less known than some glamorous destinations located a few kilometers away, and this undoubtedly has several advantages. First of all, the prices of the holiday homes tend to be cheaper. Furthermore, the beaches of Budoni are less crowded, especially in low season, than the more famous ones in northern Sardinia… but this does not mean that they are less beautiful!
It is up to you if you wish to spend a relaxing holiday, just chilling out and enjoying the beaches in the area, or a more glamorous one, experiencing the Sardinian night life and discovering what the vast surrounding area offers.
Our 5 tips on what to do in and around Budoni (if the pandemic allows it):
Among the beaches in Budoni, we would like to point out:
Porto Ainu, with the white sand and a shallow seabed bathed by turquoise waters with the typical transparency of the Sardinian sea. The beach is not equipped and there are no services, which is why it is not very crowded even in high season. There is paid parking nearby.
Porto Ottiolu, this is the name of a fraction of Budoni located on the sea. It has got a pretty and important tourist port and a beach that is a small natural pearl. The sand is white and the sea shines with shades between intense blue and cobalt blue. The beach is suitable for families with children, due to the shallow water and the fact that there are several services within walking distance, such as a restaurant, various bars and convenient parking. Furthermore, the beach is accessible to disabled people.
Baia Sant'Anna it is a free beach near Tanaunella, a further hamlet of Budoni, which is certainly worth a visit. The white beach is surrounded by a pine forest that purifies and perfumes the air and the sea is crystal clear and blue.
There are convenient parking lots near the coast.
Close to Sant'Anna beach there is a pond, where it is possible to observe beautiful pink flamingos. In the area between San Teodoro and Budoni there are several aquatic ecosystems, well known to birdwatchers.
Cala di Budoni, is how four kilometers of northeastern Sardinian coast are called. It extends between the points Li Cucutti and Porto Ainu. The sea in this area has an unbelievable transparency, while the beach of fine and clear sand slopes gently into a shallow seabed, suitable even for children's games.
There are several services, which allow you to comfortably enjoy the beach, which is also accessible to disabled people. In the vicinity there is also a large parking lot that allows you to easily reach the beach by car. In the area there are several refreshment points, bars and activities that rent beach equipment.
The stretch of coastline takes on different names along its route, including: Li Salineddi, Salamaghe, Lido del Sole, Sa Capannizza.
The area alternates ponds to sand dunes and pine forests, and constitutes a natural habitat with a great variety of fauna. The coast is surrounded by lush Mediterranean scrub, which perfumes the air with its scents and aromas and adds wonderful shades of green to the idyllic landscape.
The cove is also popular with lovers of water sports, such as windsurfing, diving and snorkeling.

Our 5 tips on what to do in and around Budoni (if the pandemic allows it):
- 1. Sunbathe on the beach . See below our suggestions;
- 2. Take a historical-archaeological tour: visit the ruins of the nearby Nuraghe San Pietro, in the territory of Torpé, to discover the fascinating Nuragic civilization dating back to the Bronze Age. Also visit the picturesque old town of Posada, with the beautiful Castello della Fava. All this can be reached in a few minutes by car from Budoni and its surroundings;
- 3. Take part in the “Sa Festa Manna” in Budoni, (the big city fest). If you are in the area at the turn of August 29, the patron saint is celebrated in the village: St. John the Baptist. There will be 3 - 4 days of events, including concerts, procession of folk groups and various shows;
- 4. Go on a food and wine tour, to discover the delicacies that you can enjoy in the various restaurants, farmhouses and wineries of the area. In any culinary tour between Gallura and Baronia, the fish dishes and the "roast or spit roast suckling pig", prepared according to tradition, accompanied by local wines, such as the fresh Vermentino di Gallura and the full bodied Cannonau from Oliena, Dorgali or Mamoiada, cannot be missing;

What to see in Santa Teresa di Gallura

Santa Teresa di Gallura and Capo Testa
Today, we explore a particular location in Sardinia: Santa Teresa di Gallura, a well-known and unique destination, for many reasons. The town of Santa Teresa and its territory are known for its beautiful beaches and coves and for its wild and primordial coast, where granite and Mediterranean scrub are the masters. Furthermore, the town has an interesting history, linked to the Savoy royal family and the Kingdom of Sardinia. Finally, a very important factor, Santa Teresa di Gallura constitute the northernmost point of Sardinia: a little further north we find the mouths of Bonifacio and the white cliffs of Corsica, with which the inhabitants of Gallura maintain a strong bond.
If you want to find out more about this fantastic tourist destination, and take note of what to see in Santa Teresa, just continue reading this article.
The town has about 5,000 inhabitants and is visited in high season by tens of thousands of tourists, who love its nightlife, in addition to the naturalistic beauties. It’s a must for those who want to explore northern Sardinia and its attractions. We also recommend visiting the beautiful town if you want to know a corner of Sardinia, not far from the Costa Smeralda, but at the same time with a different kind of touristic offer.
The area where the tourist city stands has been inhabited since ancient times. The territory was known even to the Romans, who extracted the granite to build palaces in the capital of the Empire. It is assumed that the ancient city Tibula, an important hub, was located in this area. The modern town has noble origins: it was founded by Vittorio Emanuele I of Savoy in person, in 1808, renaming the locality known as Longosardo, with the name of his wife Maria Teresa. The king himself drew the map of the city! As evidence of the original name, there are several toponyms and names of monuments, such as the beautiful and mighty Tower of Longosardo, built by another nobleman: Philip II of Spain.
The inhabited center is built around two natural inlets: to the east we find “Porto Longone”, where the tourist port is located, to the west the inlet of the splendid Rena Bianca beach, the city beach of which we talk about later.
If you wish to visit archaeological sites, you are in the right place in northern Sardinia. We suggest the sites of the Nuragic era "Sa Testa" and "Lu Brandali". An interesting church is called the "Buoncammino", built on a building dating back to the Middle Ages, located in a pine forest outside the town. Fans of war archeology can also visit the so-called Ferrero Battery, in Punta Falcone, famous for its cannons that “never fired a single shot”.
When discovering Santa Teresa, you must spend a day in Capo Testa and the famous Valle della Luna, the “Moon Valley”: one of the northernmost and wildest spots of Sardinia. It’s a magical place, where granite rocks have been shaped into natural artworks as a result of thousands of years of erosion. The mistral wind and the water have carved unreal figures. You will find yourself catapulted into an extraterrestrial dimension, walking among the most varied rock silhouettes. Try to find the "head" that gives the name to the peninsula. We indulged ourselves with the imagination and, in the panoramic route between Santa Teresa and Capo Testa, and close to the lighthouse, we recognized a Gorilla face, a rabbit, several human figures, an eagle, E.T., a cobra, a shark, a skull and many other anthropomorphic and animal figures. Just have fun with your fantasy!
Capo Testa can be easily reached by car, by bike, and even on foot, if you are good walkers. Wear comfortable trekking shoes and get ready to discover a peculiar Sardinia. There are clear direction signs that show the road to follow. You must drive until the road end, in a coastal up and down that offers dream views. At the end of the asphalted road, a path leads to the lighthouse and the “Moon Valley”. It is a legendary cove, sheltered by incredible rocks and famous for its suggestive beauty. In the past decades it has been a meeting place for hippies and the followers of various new age waves. The visit of Capo Testa certainly will enrich your holiday. You will take home some wonderful memories, as well as magical photographic shots to share with relatives and friends. Seeing is believing!
By Capo Testa we suggest you visit the beautiful beaches of “Cala Grande” (in the Moon Valley), “Cala Spinosa” and the beach of the two Seas, namely “Rena di Ponente and Rena di Levante”… read on to find out more about these beaches.

They often have common features, such as having a designer swimming pool for exclusive use, and, often, a private and direct access to the sea.
Magnificent luxury villas in Sardinia are present in all well-known tourist resorts, both in the north and south of the island.

5 Villas for an unforgettable holiday in Costa Paradiso
Wednesday, August 4, 2021
Discover Costa Paradiso starting from these 5 Villas in Sardinia
Those who have been to northern Sardinia probably drove in front of the “Costa Paradiso” sign, on the road that connects Santa Teresa di Gallura to Isola Rossa. But how many, during their beach holidays, have visited this destination, taking the road that leads over the hill?
Costa Paradiso is an amazing destination of northern Sardinia. Probably less known and glamorous than other Gallura and Costa Smeralda destinations, such as Porto Cervo, Baja Sardinia or Porto Rotondo, but certainly no less fascinating.
For some regulars, Costa Paradiso simply is the most beautiful place in the world!
Those who took the road to the village of Costa Paradiso were probably struck by the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
The small town is a real naturalistic pearl, one of a kind in Sardinia and beyond. The aromatic Mediterranean scrub covers various rock formations with incredible shapes: pink granites, shaped over the centuries by the constant erosion of the elements. In particular, the mistral wind can blow imperiously in these region. This continuous action has sculpted the coast, so much so that the rocks, which at sunset take on an intense pink color, have assumed anthropomorphic, animalesque and various objects form.
A similar setting, which offers unique suggestions and emotions, especially at sunset, can be admired in a few other magical places in Sardinia, for example at Capo Testa, Aggius and San Pantaleo, where once again granite is king.
To complete this wild nature, there are some delightful beaches, set in the rocks. They can only be reached through walkable paths, of timeless beauty: Li Cossi beach, surrounded by green vegetation and enclosed by granite like a gem, stands out above all.
In this natural and wild context, there are several houses that can be rented for holidays, villas with pools and luxury villas, built following rigorous stylistic dictates in order to harmoniously adapt to the surrounding environment.
We at Sardinia Unlimited are pleased to manage various holiday houses and villas for rent, some of which having private swimming pools and an enchanting sea view, especially during sunset in the north coast.
In order to discover this locality, a real hidden Eden Valley, we suggest you book one of the best villas in the area, from which you can easily discover Costa Paradiso and its surroundings.

21 days Tour with Sardinia villa rental
Do you feel like it’s about time to disconnect from work and everyday life to get a vitality recharge? In this case, follow our advice for an itinerary in the north of the island with villas for rent in Sardinia, to fill up on positive energy and enjoy a unique sensorial experience. Given the vastness of the island and the many attractions, we have drawn several itineraries, to include as many points of interest as possible and to avoid turning your holiday into a hectic rush. Keywords: relax and discovery.
If you do not yet know Sardinia, it’s the right time to plan your sweet escape. If you have already been on the island, you surely appreciated how it looks like a mini continent, which fascinates and enchants in an ancient way. Countless visitors say they have established a special bond with the island and its proud inhabitants, feeling the need to return to explore it more in depth. Sardinia has a territory of about 24,000 km² (9,270 square miles) and 1,900 km (1,180 miles) of coastline, bathed by crystal clear water with incredible colors, that have nothing to envy the atolls of the Pacific! Wild coasts and pristine strips alternate with long white sandy beaches, hidden coves and rocky ravines, sometimes giving way to imposing cliffs overlooking the sea. In the most inaccessible and secluded stretches, the landscape is dominated by imposing walls of rock, patiently sculpted by wind and water.
The Sardinian countryside also constitutes a world to be discovered, where flat areas of crops and pasture follow gentle hill slopes and native vineyards, as well as rugged mountain areas, appreciated by hikers and climbers. Vegetation and fauna also change abruptly, seconding the alternation of mountain and coastal areas. It is possible to travel kilometers without ever meeting anyone, nor seeing inhabited centers. Those are peculiar landscapes, where the aromatic scents of the Mediterranean scrub dominate. Along the way, the view is interrupted only by the iconic shapes of mighty stone buildings dating back to the Bronze Age: the mysterious “nuraghe”.
