2 SARDINIA, LA MADDALENA ISLANDS

Nestled off the Costa Smeralda, the archipelago of La Maddalena is a haven of tranquillity, boasting turquoise lagoons, uninhabited islands, and pristine beaches to rival those of the tropics.

Not the Mediterranean as you know it; the Maddalena Islands are a more remote, Caribbean-like setting. Found between Sardinia and Corsica, this cluster of seven large islands and 55 tiny islets play host to some of the most breath-taking beaches in Italy, some with barely a footprint to spoil them.

The main island, La Maddalena, is a strategic base for sailing along Sardinia’s Northern coast to Santa Teresa di Gallura or venturing further south to Olbia or the fashionable Porto Cervo, Portisco, and Porto Rotondo.

Between lazy beach days and exploring uninhabited islands, visit the town of La Maddalena itself. Shaped not only by its connection to Italy but also by centuries of history, culture, and tradition, it holds a unique status that adds an intriguing layer to its allure. From Napoleon’s failed siege to Admiral Nelson’s encounters off the coast, here, history comes to life.

With a captivating past, friendly locals, charming waterside trattorias, and shimmering Mediterranean waters, the La Maddalena archipelago promises an idyllic honeymoon escape.
