Ready to get started? Build your sailing holiday
Set in the natural harbour of the Gulf of Cugnana, Marina di Cugnana offers a quieter alternative to the more glamorous marinas around Porto Rotondo and Porto Cervo. The marina is surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and granite hills, with calm, clear water and a small beach nearby. Its position on the road towards Porto Cervo puts the Costa Smeralda within easy reach, while Porto Rotondo and Portisco are both close by. This combination of a peaceful setting and proximity to the region's best-known resorts makes it an appealing place to begin a sailing holiday in northern Sardinia.
From Marina di Cugnana, you can quickly reach the sheltered bays and beaches of the Costa Smeralda before heading further into the islands. Porto Rotondo, Cala di Volpe and the islands of Mortorio and Soffi are natural first destinations, while longer sailing routes can take you towards Caprera, La Maddalena and the islands around the Maddalena Archipelago. You can also cross the Strait of Bonifacio to Corsica if you have enough time for a longer itinerary. The area is particularly enjoyable for sailors who like to combine short passages with plenty of stops for swimming, anchoring and exploring ashore, rather than spending entire days covering long distances.
The marina offers a straightforward selection of facilities for holidaymakers, including a bar and restaurant, parking and a small beach nearby. Boats have access to water and electricity, while the sheltered setting provides a comfortable place to begin and end your sailing holiday. For a wider choice of shops, restaurants and provisions, Porto Rotondo and the surrounding Costa Smeralda are only a short drive away. The nearby Cala dei Sardi marina also has additional facilities including toilets, showers, a bar and restaurant, making the wider Gulf of Cugnana area well served for visiting sailors.
