Located along the southern coast of Sardinia, Villasimius is a Mediterranean gem. It is often referred to as the "pearl of the south" for its stretch of white-sand beaches framed by forested cliffs. This destination is also part of the Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area, which makes its over 20 miles of coastline and offshore islands a paradise for sun-seekers and watersports lovers.

Just 31 miles south of Cagliari, Villasimius sits between the dramatic peaks of the Seven Brothers mountain range and the stunning shores of Capo Carbonara. The area is also home to two islands—Isola dei Cavoli and Isola di Serpentara—which are ideal for anchoring your yacht and enjoying an afternoon of watersports. For some diving, head to Isola dei Cavoli, where a remarkable underwater statue, the Madonna del Naufrago, rests at a depth of 10 meters. This submerged shrine was placed in honor of sailors lost at sea, creating a spiritual dive site surrounded by vibrant marine life.

Porto Giunco is the place to be if you're all about beaches. This place has a dazzling stretch of white sand lapped by its impossibly clear waters. Just behind the beach lies the Notteri Lagoon, home to flocks of pink flamingos that migrate here throughout the year. From your yacht, you can tender ashore and take a short hike up to the Porto Giunco Tower, an ancient watchtower offering views of the coastline.

You'll be met with more wonders as you cruise along on your charter yacht. Old Fortress Beach is just a short sail from the town center. This peaceful, golden crescent offers shelter from the Mistral winds and is a spectacular spot to watch the sun dip below the horizon. Punta Molentis is another must-visit destination too. It is known for its dramatic granite rock formations and shallow, emerald-hued waters.

Onshore, Villasimius has transformed from a quiet fishing village into a sought-after summer destination, offering a charming historic center filled with boutique shops, lively piazzas, and an excellent selection of restaurants and cafés. There's plenty here to keep you entertained, even nightlife.

Villasimius is an essential stop on any Sardinian yacht charter, blending Caribbean-like waters with Mediterranean charm. Start planning your trip by browsing Sardinia's finest crewed charter yachts.
