Porto RotondoDistance: 65 nm*
Something a little more laid back
Anchoring down at your first port of call on your luxury charter yacht tour, you arrive at the pretty location of Porto Rotondo.
The atmosphere here is much more laid back than at Porto Cervo, but there are no cutbacks on quality and luxury. Porto Rotondo is well known for it's private beaches so take the time to really indulge in this essential experience to your holiday. Spend the morning lapping up the sun or take a few dips in the refreshing waters around the coast before adventuring further inland.

Cala LunaDistance: 100 nm*
Bask in idyllic surrounds
Continuing around the coastline of Sardinia your next stop is vitally different from what you have seen so far. More out of the way from mainstream tourists, Cala Luna boasts an incredible natural beauty which can almost feel like a mirage.
Anchor down in the bay to start exploring straight away. Take the plunge into the clear waters to make the most of the refreshing waters and the ideal opportunity to see the pretty life below the waters. Snorkeling around the bay you will see plenty of underwater life dancing around you and the cooling effect of the water will ready you for the staggering beach awaiting you on the shore.
Being more hidden than other locations on the island of Sardinia, you can enjoy a quiet afternoon on the beach while adventuring inside some of the caves eroded into the cliffs. Easily large enough to fit you and your party inside, these caves offer shelter if the sun proves too hot or a unique location for a picnic.
Return back to your motor yacht for an indulgent evening of Italian wine and a peaceful environment you really could get used to.

CagliariDistance: 20 nm*
Explore the town's medieval past
Back to civilization for your fourth day on Sardinia as you visit the island capital of Cagliari. As the largest town on the island of Sardinia this is the place to visit if you want to see the very best of the island.
Teeming with medieval buildings, the streets of the town are like stepping through a portal into a pastel-hued dream. The highlight of Sardinia's past is found above the main activity of Cagliari in the area known as Il Castello. This medieval wall enclosed area features a variety of monuments which have all contributed to Cagliari's eventful past.
Even more impressive, and a lot older than the man-made monuments you can visit at Il Castello, there is also the prehistoric site of Domus de Janas. Translating as the house of fairies or witches, there are several chambers here to see which were 'built' during the Neolithic era. Exploring inside the caves, you can see etchings on the walls of various religious symbols and bull horns. To round off your day of exploration, reserve a table at Niu for an indulgent and decadent feast.
