Villasimius

Aras Hotel welcomes you to one of the most enchanting corners of Sardinia

Set within the Marine Protected Area of Capo Carbonara, the territory of Villasimius, with its over 35 km of coastline, is the heart of a true natural paradise in Southern Sardinia, where small coves alternate with long white beaches, on a sea of incomparable beauty, granite rocks, and Mediterranean vegetation with intense fragrances.

The Beaches of Villasimius

The beaches listed below are all just a few kilometres from our Hotel and can be reached in a time ranging from five to ten minutes. Here are some of the most beautiful beaches of Villasimius and Southern Sardinia: Porto Giunco, Punta Molentis, Cava Usai, and Porto Sa Ruxi.

Porto Giunco

Surrounded by unspoilt nature and kissed by a sea of incredible colours, the beach of Porto Giunco is considered among the most beautiful beaches in Italy. Also known as the “two seas” beach, it is a strip of fine, clear white sand that separates the sea from the Stagno di Notteri where you can admire pink flamingos. On the nearby promontory, you can see the Saracen coastal tower from which you can enjoy a wonderful panorama.

Punta Molentis

Punta Molentis is located on the road to Costa Rei. A hidden cove that offers wonderful sunsets. Its name derives from the Sardinian “su molenti”, meaning “donkey”, which was used for the granite extraction activity, of which the large boulders can still be seen.

Cava Usai

Cava Usai, opposite the Isola dei Cavoli, is a long beach, mainly composed of smooth white pebbles.

Porto Sa Ruxi

Porto Sa Ruxi is the first beach we encounter in the territory of Villasimius coming from Cagliari. Also within the Marine Protected Area of Capo Carbonara, it is one of the beaches most sheltered from the mistral. A bay with shallow waters where rocks emerge, dividing it into three small coves, giving it a wild appearance.
