Costa Rei: Beaches, Sea and Landscape

When visiting Costa Rei, you can get a sense of the area by considering several features: the coast, activities on the water, the nearby surroundings and an archaeological point of interest. If you are looking for a hotel, it is worth first considering which of these aspects of the destination matter to your travel plans.

Coast and Scenic Road

Costa Rei lies on Sardinia’s southeast coast, along a scenic road offering an uninterrupted succession of striking views. Costa Rei beach stretches for 8 kilometres. The length of the beach describes the extent of the coastline, while the scenic road adds a succession of views and a landscape perspective. This lets you distinguish between the coastal area and the views along the road when getting your bearings. Both are distinct features of the destination and give your travel plans a clear connection to the landscape.

Piscina Rei: Water and Rocks

At Piscina Rei, shallow water and smooth rocks create the impression of swimming in a natural pool. The sea off Costa Rei is crystal clear and rich in marine life. Piscina Rei is also used for diving and snorkelling. The combination of its waterscape and activities sets this place apart from the beach as a whole. If you are assessing the coast in terms of activities, Piscina Rei can be considered a spot for diving and snorkelling.

Capo Ferrato: Trekking and Coves

Near Costa Rei, the climb up Monte Capo Ferrato offers an easy trekking route through typical Sardinian Mediterranean scenery. Small coves with seabeds suitable for snorkelling with a mask and fins lie along the cliffs of Capo Ferrato. Here, two different ways of experiencing the surroundings sit side by side: a climb on foot and small coves by the sea. The trekking route adds a connection to the landscape, while the coves offer a specific snorkelling opportunity. Capo Ferrato thus broadens the perspective beyond Costa Rei’s coast to include nature and activities in the nearby area.

Snorkelling Among Different Coastal Landscapes

The difference between Piscina Rei and Capo Ferrato is clear when choosing a place to snorkel: Piscina Rei is characterised by shallow water and smooth rocks, while Capo Ferrato has small coves along the cliffs and suitable seabeds. Both places are associated with snorkelling, but their landscapes are different. If an easy trekking route also appeals to you, the climb up Monte Capo Ferrato adds an activity on foot to the options.

Archaeological Point of Interest: Monte Nai

The Domus de Janas of Monte Nai adds an archaeological point of interest to the beach and water features. It lies in the southern part of the municipality of Muravera, near the Costa Rei holiday-home development. You can consider this location alongside activities by the sea and the trekking route when planning your trip. Its proximity to the Costa Rei development and its location within the municipality of Muravera provide two different geographical reference points.
