San Pietro Island, Sardinia

Inhabited since prehistoric times and called the "island of the sparrow hawks" by the Punic, the island of San Pietro is located in the south-western tip of Sardinia, facing the Sulcitan coast. The island is mainly of volcanic origin, but the volcano has been completely inactive for at least 15-20 million years.

The island has high and jagged cliffs, eroded by the crystal clear sea, where inlets with enchanting coves open.

It is the realm of diving, snorkelling, sport fishing and bird watching. With over 50 square kilometres of territory, it is the second-largest island, after Sant’Antioco, in the Sulcis archipelago.

The pristine sea that surrounds this still wildland, south-west of Sardinia, will give you the privilege of admiring its submerged wonders, offering you always new emotions every time.

The beaches of the island of San Pietro are renowned for their exquisitely still, virgin aspect. An emerald sea kisses the island in a context of suggestive landscapes. The beaches are equipped with all the comforts to guarantee you a day full of relaxation and fun.
