Cala Goloritzé
Cala Goloritzé is the kind of place that stops you in your tracks. A towering 143-metre limestone pinnacle rises behind a sheltered cove of impossibly clear water. It's raw, dramatic and unlike anywhere else on the island. Protected as a natural monument, access is carefully managed, with numbers limited and booking required, which only adds to the sense of occasion. You can reach it either on foot via a trek from the Golgo plateau, or by boat from the port of Cala Gonone. For those who love walking and want to feel genuinely immersed in the Sardinian interior, a B&B near Baunei is the natural choice. Prefer a bit more company and convenience? Base yourself in Cala Gonone instead, a lively little coastal town with good facilities and plenty of boat trips exploring Cala Goloritzé and the other spectacular coves of the Gulf of Orosei.
