..Sardinia is the second biggest island in the Mediterranean Sea and can be reached with a short flight from Rome or other major Italian cities as well as other European airports. There are no airports in Palau, you will have to fly to either Olbia airport a 30 minute car journey to Palau, or to Alghero airport with a two hour car journey to Palau up the coastal road where you will pass deserted beaches and old fishing towns. The most convenient way to visit Sardinia is to rent a car, as public transportation services are not abundant between towns and villages of the coast.

Palau is definitely one of the most spectacular and noteworthy seaside towns in Gallura and bordering the Emerald Coast. It's also an important landing place for ferries coming from Corsica and the archipelago of La Maddalena. Its modern harbour's development is tied to the entire extending coastline, offering a variety of dream-like bays, uncontaminated spiagge and small rocky islands that emerge from a crystal-clear sea teaming with life. Palau's artistically shaped coastlines are sculpted by the wind that generates a wide variety of shapes and forms in its rocks. The most famous is that of dell'Orso.

Over thousands of years, the atmospheric agents have amazingly transformed this rock to unmistakably appear like a bear. For those wishing to travel coast-to-coast while also visiting Palau's surrounding hinterland characterised by lush, Mediterranean vegetation, the Trenino Verde (green train) has been made available by Sardinia's Railway and has proven quite successful amongst tourists. It's fascinating because it travels through road-less areas that would otherwise be inaccessible. An unimaginable Sardinia appears from behind its glass windows, through forests, calm lakes and thick vegetation amidst which the train is forced to travel. There are numerous itineraries to discover this corner of paradise.

For those deciding to adventure through Gallura, Palau is a destination not to be overlooked. Tourists can choose from many destinations, some of the more famous include: Porto Rafael, Capo d'Orso, Costa Serena, Isola dei Gabbiani, Porto Pollo (surfers' paradise), Stintino's beautiful military fortresses, Capo d'Orso, Altura and Baragge. Of the many Sardinian destinations, that of Palau should not be missed.

The Maddalena Archipelago

The Archipelago is made up of twenty-three islands and islets and is protected by strict preservation regulations that make it one of the only natural habitats still intact in the Mediterranean. Recently established is the new Parco Marino. Its emerald waters, beaches rendered pink by coral fragments, granite rock formations and its thick, aromatic juniper and myrtle forests make it one of a kind. The best way to visit the Archipelago is, naturally, by sea, navigating from island to island, hopping from one shelter to the next, anchoring in one of the numerous coves to take a swim. Even though the short distance between the various islands may relax your worries, it’s always a good idea to take a look at the meteorological conditions before setting off. An excursion from the hotel to the smaller islands (that is, excluding La Maddalena and Caprera) can be done in one day, or with the right boat, over the course of several days.

Hotel Palau

Just a short walk separates it from the Port and Marina, one of the most beautiful of Sardinia. The Hotel is located on the upper part of Palau, one of Sardinia’s famous tourist destinations, looking out over an extraordinary panorama of the Maddalena, Caprera and the other islands of the archipelago, as well as Corsica and part of Costa Smeralda (“Sardinia’s ‘Emerald Coast’”).
