Region: North-eastern Sardinia/Costa Smeralda and southern Corsica
La Maddalena has a small town of its own, barely ten thousand inhabitants, hotels, restaurants, the ferry. But for anyone arriving by yacht, the real thing begins only beyond the harbour: the uninhabited sister islands of Caprera, Spargi, Budelli, Razzoli and Santa Maria, all part of the national park, all reachable only by boat. Each island has its own bays, and each bay its own beauty; the colours of rock, sand and water change with the seabed, the depth and the angle of the sun. Cala Coticcio on Caprera is called Sardinia's Tahiti bay: three round bays one behind the other, joined by gaps in the rock, the water so shallow and clear that the sand crystals make it glow turquoise.
On the island of Budelli lies the famous pink beach, its colour coming from thousands of ground-up shells of a tiny foraminifera. So that it stays this way, it has been off limits for years: you anchor off it and let it work on you from a respectful distance.
A few nautical miles to the north, Corsica begins. Bonifacio stands on white limestone cliffs above the sea, and its harbour entrance, a narrow cut between the rocks, is among the most dramatic in the Mediterranean. The island keeps a language of its own and a strong identity; its cooking mixes French-Mediterranean and mountain influences: sheep's cheese from the hinterland, wild boar, chestnuts.
In the Lavezzi archipelago between Corsica and Sardinia lies one of the most unusual stretches of water in the Mediterranean. Over the shallow sandy bottom the whole palette of turquoise shades shimmers between the rock formations, and the smooth, weathered granite stones of Cavallo recall pictures of the Seychelles.
In summer the Costa Smeralda combines the singular beauty of its emerald coasts with the jet set and the most impressive yachts. In August the superyachts gather in Cala di Volpe. And in September the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup brings together the largest sailing yachts in the world. Further out, among the islands of the national park, it grows quieter. Ashore, the cooking of the Gallura is worth it: Pecorino Sardo, bottarga, a Vermentino from the hills and, to finish, a Mirto.
The Mistral, the north-west wind, shapes these waters. In the Strait of Bonifacio, the narrows between Sardinia and Corsica, it can freshen strongly and brings sporty sailing days; the sheltered bays of the Costa Smeralda then offer calm anchorages. The season runs from May to October, mildest and steadiest in early summer and September.
