A Holiday Around The Gabbiano Azzurro 0 Commentaires

by Daniela Toti

If it’s your first time at the Gabbiano Azzurro Hotel & Suites, you are in the right place to enjoy an experience that has it all: crystal-clear sea, authentic flavours, ancient culture and moments of pure relaxation. This is the true Total Leisure Experience, the complete holiday that blends sea, nature and tradition.

Sardinia is famous all over the world for its dreamlike beaches: white sand, turquoise sea and unspoiled nature. But which are the closest ones to Golfo Aranci?

• La Prima Spiaggia – to the left of the hotel, facing the sea, just a few steps from the town centre.

• La Seconda Spiaggia – calm waters and services, perfect for those who love comfort.

• La Terza Spiaggia – the Gabbiano Azzurro’s own beach: golden sand, turquoise waters and shallow seabed, ideal for families with children.

• La Quarta Spiaggia – continuing to the right after the Third Beach, quiet and crystal-clear.

• La Quinta Spiaggia – small and secluded, perfect for those seeking silence and intimacy.

• Cala Sabina – nestled in the Mediterranean scrub, just minutes from the town.

• Spiaggia Bianca – on the road to Olbia, a pearl of fine white sand.

• Spiaggia di Marinella – in the Gulf of Marinella, wide and lively.

• Cala Sassari – a picturesque and quiet bay, loved by those who seek calm and nature.

• Cala Moresca – towards Capo Figari, wild and authentic. In 2021, it also became famous as the set of Walt Disney’s The Little Mermaid.

One of the most delightful experiences of a holiday in Sardinia is discovering its cuisine, made of genuine dishes, intense aromas and ancient recipes.

• At the Gabbiano Azzurro, you can enjoy the convenience of the Beach Risto & Bar during the day.

• In the evening, the Blù Restaurant awaits you with gourmet dishes and a sea view.

• In the surroundings, many traditional Gallurese agriturismi will introduce you to the authentic flavours of local tradition.

Beyond the sea, Golfo Aranci offers the fascinating mountain landscape of Capo Figari, ideal for hikers and nature lovers.

And just a few kilometres from the hotel you can visit some of the most evocative sites of the Nuragic civilisation, of which Sardinia is so rich:

• Nuragic Archeosite La Prisgiona  (Arzachena) – 32 km (~35 min)

• Albucciu Nuragic Complex (Arzachena) – 31 km (~33 min)

• Tomba di Li Lolghi (Arzachena) – 32 km (~35 min)

• Tomba di Coddu Vecchiu (Arzachena) – 30 km (~32 min)

• Tomba Su Mont’e s’Abe (Olbia) – 18 km (~20 min)

• Temple of Malchittu (Arzachena) – 29 km (~32 min)

• Sa Testa Holy Well (Olbia) – 12 km (~15 min)

• Milis Holy Well (Golfo Aranci) – 17 km (~20 min), little known but very charming, with a well-preserved tholos.

The Danish writer Marie Gamél Holten, who visited Golfo Aranci at the beginning of the 20th century, had already intuited the destiny of this enchanting place:

“What a fabulous holiday resort this place could become! The water is clear and transparent, and at the same time rich in colour. Purple, dark blue and greenish streaks edge and cut across the surface of the sea. The sand is white and compact, and the graceful little waves caress the pebbles on the shoreline.”
