Cala Sinzias: the long crystal-clear beach

Just minutes from Costa Rei

Choosing Costa Rei for your holiday is an excellent decision. You are perfectly located to explore some of the most beautiful beaches along the entire south-eastern coast of Sardinia. Among them, one of the most spectacular and easily accessible is Cala Sinzias, a bright stretch of white sand set between a eucalyptus pine forest and a sea that seems to glow on its own.

It is one of the favourite destinations for guests staying in Monte Nai and Castiadas, thanks to the ideal combination of services, natural beauty and easy access.

Why Cala Sinzias is perfect for guests staying in Costa Rei

Cala Sinzias is a wide, scenic and welcoming beach, ideal for families, couples and groups of friends.

Here you will find:

  • Fine white sand, perfect for long walks along the shore

It is one of the most complete beaches on the coast: spacious and well equipped, yet surrounded by a green and unspoilt landscape.
