Designed for those who want more than just a typical beach day, it combines off-road adventures with visits to pristine beaches and panoramic viewpoints.

What really makes this experience shine are the beautiful beaches of Bidderosa, the white sand dunes of Capo Comino, and the chance to see some of Sardinia’s lesser-known natural gems. A notable perk is the guided insights and off-road drive that add a sense of adventure, especially for travelers craving a bit of thrill and authenticity.

After the lakes, you’ll reach the main beach of Bidderosa—a stretch of soft white sand, backed by granite hills and old junipers. The shallow waters here are ideal for children, making it a family-friendly spot. We loved the way the landscape creates a sense of seclusion, despite being accessible to visitors. Expect to spend several relaxing hours swimming, sunbathing, and perhaps snorkeling to discover some of the underwater sights.
