Cannigione is a relaxed small resort and tourist port on the north-eastern coast of Sardinia, close to Olbia and the Costa Smeralda.  Its close proximity to beautiful beaches and the mountains of Gallura is shared with the nearby Costa Smeralda, although it doesn't share the carefully-sculpted resorts and higher prices of that section of coastline.

The shops and restaurants cluster along the seafront and main street, and visitor accommodation stretches up the hill behind, giving most places views across the bay to the mountains beyond.  There's a small sandy beach in the resort, within walking distance of all accommodation.  Other beaches are a walk or short car ride away, or accessible by boat, either north towards Palau or round the coast to the Costa Smeralda.  From June to September there is a coastal bus which links Cannigione with the Costa Smeralda, Olbia and Olbia Airport.

Cannigione is extremely busy in high season, late July and August, but outside of these weeks accommodation is easier to find, the beaches and roads are uncrowded, and prices lower. 

The fast-growing port has hundreds of berths for small and medium-sized boats, and several yacht rental companies operate from here.  The best way to explore the coastline is by boat - for details of self-drive RIB inflatables, click through to Cannigione boat hire information.  There are also skippered day yacht charters plus day trip boat tours of the islands and beaches of the La Maddalena peninsula which depart from Cannigione's jetty.  To explore the underwater environment, visit DIVING section.   It's possible to waterski & windsurf here, although not a major centre for either.

Accommodation is primarily in rented houses and apartments, both in Cannigione itself and its satellite La Conia, just along the seafront.  There are also several large 3* and 4* hotel complexes with good facilities plus organised activities and entertainments in high season. We have a small selection of accommodation available to rent in Cannigione;  please click through here for more information.

There are Yoga classes, either in group practice or as individual lessons - a relaxed form of yoga blending the influence of several schools.  Mail us for more details info@naturalsardinia.com
