Villasimius & Costa Rei

Pale sand, bays and outdoor living

Sarrabus brings together Muravera’s citrus groves, Castiadas’s history and Costa Rei’s beaches. Around Villasimius, Capo Carbonara and Notteri lagoon complete the landscape. The area invites life between the sea and Mediterranean scrub, with quieter seasons revealing the pleasure of a home, a veranda and time outdoors.

Sarrabus, between its bays and life beyond summer

From Muravera to Villasimius, the journey crosses landscapes and local traditions. Launeddas, citrus groves and vineyards accompany the approach to Costa Rei; in Castiadas, the former prison complex adds historical context. The route reaches one of its most recognisable settings in Capo Carbonara’s Marine Protected Area, between Isola dei Cavoli, Porto Giunco and Punta Molentis.

Sardinia Magazine also explores Villasimius through its changing seasons: the light shifts, vegetation reveals its fragrances and beaches take on a quieter character. For a villa, outdoor space matters as much as the interior: a shaded veranda, a garden and a relationship with the landscape. For a stay, the season becomes part of the experience.
