A COASTLINE WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED
The eastern coast of Sardinia reveals an extraordinary variety of landscapes. Around Arbatax, peaceful sandy beaches and sheltered bays can be reached within minutes, while farther north the limestone cliffs of the Gulf of Orosei protect some of the Mediterranean’s most spectacular coves.
From beaches perfect for an effortless day by the sea to remote places reached by boat or panoramic trails, Ogliastra offers a different experience every day. Staying with Bovi’s Hotels means discovering this coastline from three distinctive locations, each with its own connection to the sea.
ARBATAX
PORTO FRAILIS:
A SHELTERED BAY BY THE SEA
Framed by Mediterranean vegetation and gentle rocky headlands, Porto Frailis is one of Arbatax’s most inviting beaches. Its calm, clear water and sheltered position make it ideal for swimming and for enjoying an unhurried day by the sea.
Overlooking the bay, Hotel La Bitta offers an intimate connection with this landscape: breakfast facing the water, direct access to the beach and the unmistakable feeling of staying only a few steps from the Mediterranean.

SAN GEMILIANO:
SPACE TO UNWIND, ROOM TO PLAY
A long sandy shoreline and open sea views make San Gemiliano a different experience from the intimate bay of Porto Frailis. Here, a beach day can be as relaxed or as active as you choose, with time for swimming, seaside walks and moments together.

Just 200 metres from the beach, Hotel Corte Bianca combines an adults-only stay with peaceful gardens and a reserved beach area for its guests.
