Ogliastra, with its beautiful coastline and mountainous interior, is a relatively-recent addition to Sardinia’s must-see areas for tourists. Wedged between the mountains and the sea, it offers an unlimited number of unique scenes.

A beautiful paradise on Sardinia’s east coast where you can find the best that Nature can offer.

The name Ogliastra is derived from “Olivastri” (olive trees) which are abundant here, or it’s also thought to come from Agugliastra, a limestone monolith overlooking the sea.

Along the coastline of Ogliastra you find splendid beaches (cale) wedged between the rocks and the sea, in one of Mediterranean’s most charming marine environments. Starting from the north, we find the famous sandy bays reachable only by foot or by sea: Cala Luna, Cala Sisine, Cala Mariolu and Cala Goloritzé; further south, interesting beaches such as Tancau, Girasole, Orrì, Cea, Marina di Barisardo Cardedu, Coccorrocci and the Golfo di Sarrala.
