Bosa: An hour’s drive from Alghero, the unspoiled town of Bosa is situated on a small hill around 3km inland. Bosa exudes traditional character and charm — in the historic centre, you will find cobbled streets, picturesque piazzas, stone staircases and pastel-coloured houses. For spectacular views over the town, head to Malaspina Castle on Serravalle Hill. Bosa is buzzing with activity all year round, so there’s never a bad time to visit.
La Pelosa Beach: Around 60km from Alghero, La Pelosa Beach is well worth a visit. The idyllic beach boasts clear, turquoise waters and pristine, white sand — and it’s without doubt one of the most breathtaking beaches on Sardinia. La Pelosa offers stunning views over Isola Piana (600m off the coast) and a 16th-century watchtower situated on its own island. Why not spend a few hours unwinding on this beautiful stretch of sand?
Grotta di Nettuno: The Grotta di Nettuno is an impressive stalactite cave just a 45-minute drive from Alghero. The cave was originally discovered by local fishermen back in the 18th century, and it has since become one of Sardinia’s most popular tourist attractions. The cave is a true geological wonder, and it’s well worth making your way down the 660 steps to see the spectacle for yourself!
