If you have rented a car or a motorcycle in Cagliari, the most iconic destination to reach is undoubtedly Villasimius. Located at the south-eastern tip of Sardinia, this town is famous for its crystal-clear waters and the SP17 panoramic road, considered one of the most beautiful in Europe.
The Journey: The Coastal Road to Villasimius (SP17)
Forget the fastest route: to live an unforgettable experience with your scooter or rental vehicle, you must take the coastal road. Every curve offers a postcard view. Here are the must-see stops along the way:
- Kala e Moru and Mari Pintau: A few kilometers from Cagliari, stop to admire the smooth pebbles of Mari Pintau (Painted Sea), where the water takes on surreal colors.
- Solanas: A coastal hamlet with a large golden sand beach, ideal for a first relaxing break with your vehicle.
- Porto Sa Ruxi: Already in the Villasimius territory, this beach is famous for its dunes and centuries-old junipers shaped by the wind.
What to Visit in Villasimius and Surroundings
Once you arrive in Villasimius, the freedom of having a car or a bike will allow you to hop from one cove to another without stress:
- Punta Is Molentis: One of the most famous beaches in the world, a strip of sand enclosed between two seas. (Note: access is limited, arriving early by scooter is a big advantage!).
- Cala Pira: Located just after Villasimius heading north, it is dominated by a Spanish tower and surrounded by turquoise waters.
- Porto Giunco and Notteri Lagoon: An incredible beach with very fine sand that fades into pink, separated from the sea by a lagoon where pink flamingos winter.
- Capo Carbonara and Old Fortress: To enjoy a breathtaking sunset over the marina and the Protected Marine Area.

🌿 Help us protect this Paradise
Sardinia is a fragile treasure: please don't leave trash and respect the dunes by staying on the paths (no vehicles allowed). Shake out your towels and shoes to leave the sand on the beach and remember that taking sand, shells, or pebbles is strictly forbidden. Sardinia thanks you for your respect!
