The resort is located not far from the port city of Arbatax on the East coast of the island of Sardinia in the province of Nuoro. Arbatax has ferry connections to Genoa, Civitavecchia and Fiumicino and has its own marina with all facilities for approx. 400 berths. Look for an overview of the ferry connections on our Services page elsewhere on this site.
The province of Nuoro is rich in traditions, culture and myths and the resort hosts weekly evenings where you can experience the history, culture, art and gastronomy together with local artisans. You should try the unique delicacy Culurgiones Ogliastrini - a handmade cheese ravioli, a real local delicacy.
The island is a true paradise for hikers, but you can also discover the famous beaches of Cala Goloritze, Cala Luna, Cala Sisine and Cala Mariolu, known worldwide for the emerald-green colour of the sea water.
It is also recommended to take a trip with the green train (trenino verde), the ideal way to discover Sardinia and its untouched nature in a very relaxed way. It is a narrow-gauge train, where the distance between the rails is about 50 cm narrower than the current standard, but at the time of construction, at the end of 1800, this was common. The big advantage is that the train can make small turns and is extremely suitable for mountainous terrain. The old steam or diesel locomotives cross mountainous landscapes and offer you beautiful panoramas, often unique because otherwise you can often only reach them on foot. The train buzzes through the landscape over bridges, through tunnels and past nostalgic stations of nice places that you should definitely visit. In Ulassai, for example, a visit to the museum of contemporary art, where works by, among others, the local artist Maria Lai are exhibited, is very worthwhile. The train runs four routes, but for this resort the Mandas - Arbatax - Mandas route is the most obvious. More information can be found on this website.
