Camping Sa Prama

If wandering along by the Med (or dipping toes) simply isn’t enough, make tracks for the nearby surf school (two minutes’ drive) to get out on the waves. Opting for a boat trip is a solid option also, and it’s worth making the 50-minute trip to Cala Gonone, where guests can join tours to the stunning Cala Luna cove and the spectacular Grotta del Bue Marino. Below-ground explores can be had much closer to home base too, with one of Sardinia’s largest caves – Grotta di Ispinigoli – a little over half an hour away. Those not enthused by diving below the surface can opt instead for activities in the great wide open. It’s also less than five minutes from the site to Biderosa Natural Park, 45 minutes to Gennargentu National Park, and 50 minutes to the pretty nature reserve of Su Gologone. The area’s rife with history too, so buffs should add a tranche of spots to the must-visit list, starting with the ruins of 11th-century Castello di Pontes (20 minutes) and the nearby ethnographic museum (25 minutes), and culminating with a lengthier trip to visit museums, galleries, and archaeological sites in Nuoro city (55 minutes).
