Corsica & Sardinia
Dreaming of the best beaches in Europe?
BEST TIME TO VISIT
APRIL - OCTOBER

A Yacht Holiday
Sardinia has some of the best beaches in all of Europe. The sand is actually exceptionally white, and the sea is bluer than ever. Imagine setting sail for the granite islands of La Maddalena or mooring in one of the sweeping bays of the Costa Smeralda where celebrities sun themselves and swim.
Vertigo's Choice

Porto Cervo
The marina here is one of the biggest and most prestigious ports in the Mediterranean and is the most well-known location in the Costa Smeralda. Before leaving the harbor, there are plenty of things to keep you busy. You can observe celebrities and A-listers socializing, shop cool finds at Esmeralda Boutique, or attend an art exhibition.

Cala Luna
Cala Luna is a crescent-shaped stretch of white sand that is regarded as one of Sardinia's most stunning beaches and is a favorite among both tourists and Italian families. While snorkeling through the clear waters, you can take in the vibrant marine life and the amazing stalactites, stalagmites, and rock carvings of the Bue Marino Caves.

La Maddalena Islands
The protected Maddalena Archipelago National Park includes these rocky islands. On your island tour, they are the ideal location for some scuba diving, snorkeling, or just relaxing because they are close by and surrounded by shallow waters and enchanting seabeds full of flora and fauna.

Budelli
Arrive at Budelli Island and explore La Spiaggia Rosa (the pink beach), which gets its color from the countless coral fragments and shells that the currents have brought ashore. Budelli served as the setting for some of the Red Desert filming, but today the island is used for environmental education, and access for tourists is limited.

Lavezzi Islands
After a hearty breakfast on board, spend the morning exploring the Lavezzi Archipelago, which consists of eight granite and reef-covered islands. This wonderful paradise is home to sandy creeks and waters that have an almost lunar appearance.

Roccapina
Continue north to Corsica and marvel at the dizzyingly perched town of Bonifacio before reaching Roccapina, where the sea spray and wind have shaped the granite hills into the shape of a lion. The ideal way to spend an afternoon is here with a laid-back BBQ picnic among the sand dunes, followed by sundowner drinks on board as the sun magically sets in the distance.

Bonifacio
Embark on a leisurely cruise to the nearby city of Bonifacio, also known as the City of Cliffs, whose medieval clifftop citadel was constructed in the ninth century. Before returning to your yacht for one last meal and night on board before your flight home, take a stroll through the quaint old town (la vieille ville).
