9 Cala Gonone Hotels For The Perfect Holiday

There are many good Cala Gonone hotels, so if you have picked this as your holiday destination in Sardinia, you will have no trouble finding a good place to stay.

Cala Gonone, Dorgali’s marine hamlet, is one of the gems of Eastern Sardinia, and among the most beautiful places in the Gulf of Orosei. From the tiny town, you can access an incredible amount of beautifully isolated beaches with pristine sand and turquoise waters.

But there is so much more to Cala Gonone than a few hundred meters of beach. Cala Gonone isn’t only the starting point for the cruises and boat trips that go through the Gulf of Orosei. It’s also a good starting point for several hikes, like the one going to Cala Luna.

Make sure to read my post The Best Boat Trips From Cala Gonone.

Yet, the most famous attraction in Cala Gonone, the one you can’t really miss, is the Bue Marino cave complex (known as the Sea Oxen Grotto in English): a unique cave system where, until not too long ago, the rare monk seals used to live.

With all the incredible places to visit at a short distance from Cala Gonone, you may well base yourself there to explore the area rather than rely on day trips – after all, the town is rather isolated and the only access point is a very windy road from Dorgali. So, once you get there, you may as well stay!

You will need a good place to stay and rest. Since I visit often, I have tried many Cala Gonone hotels and thought I’d put together my selection of the best hotels in Cala Gonone.
