What to Do Upon Arrival: Discover the Lively Tourist Village of Cannigione

After settling in, it might be a good idea to take a walk in the centre of Cannigione. Originally a fishing village, it has become one of the most appreciated spots in Northern Sardinia, at the gates of the Emerald Coast and overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Arzachena. The promenade features a charming tourist marina, numerous artisan and clothing shops, an evening market, bars, trendy venues, and renowned artisan ice-cream parlours.

Beaches in the vicinity of Cannigione

The coast of the Gulf of Arzachena, stretching over 80 km, offers a succession of coves, beaches, cliffs, and beautiful bays, all to be discovered during a holiday in Sardinia. The free beach of Cannigione is within easy walking distance from the villa or apartment, while the free beaches of Mannena feature white sands and crystal-clear waters, only 3 km from the resort.

Other nearby sand and water gems around Cannigione include Tanca Manna beach, where you can rent canoes and windsurf, and Saline beach in Palau. Not to mention La Conia, Isuledda, and the “Caribbean-like” beaches of the La Maddalena Archipelago, accessible via half-day or full-day sea excursions by Delphina or with exclusive boats, maxi-rib boats with a skipper from our partner Poseidon.

Archaeological Sites: The Charm of the Nuragic Civilisation

For those passionate about archaeology and history, just a few kilometres from their apartment or villa, one can visit the majestic Nuraghe La Prisgiona. For those who want to combine physical and cultural activity, we recommend the hike to the Temple of Malchittu, an architectural structure built around 1600 BC, nestled in a place rich in charm and mystery. Don’t miss the Necropolis of Li Muri, the oldest archaeological site to visit in the municipality of Arzachena, and The Giants’ Tombs.

Among the activities to enjoy during holidays in Cannigione, a stroll in the fashionable Porto Cervo is a must. The day begins among the narrow and evocative streets of the centre, where luxury boutiques, Michelin-starred restaurants, and trendy venues harmoniously blend in among arches, galleries, and exclusive squares. Then visit the picturesque Stella Maris church or choose from one of the many renowned coves that dot the coast.

Lastly, one can’t return home without being swept away by the Emerald Coast nightlife: there are countless beach bars, trendy restaurants, and nightclubs that light up the evenings in Porto Cervo, Poltu Quatu, and the closer Baja Sardinia.
