Isola Rossa
Perched on the red porphyry cliffs from which it takes its name, Isola Rossa is a charming fishing hamlet on the Gulf of Asinara, in Northern Sardinia. A half-mooned shaped area bathed by crystal-clear waters, scented by the lush Mediterranean brush which clothes the Gallura region, Isola Rossa is well known for its shining white beaches and the family atmosphere of a small centre linked to sea and fishing traditions, where visitors can savour delicious fish dishes, sip an aperitif while enjoying a splendid view and enjoy the a warm welcome from the inhabitants. In the summertime Isola Rossa becomes a meeting place for surfing buffs – each year for the past 11 years they have been competing in the Frozen Open Surf Contest. This event, held on the beach of La Marinedda, by night becomes a feast open to all. Relaxation, dream-like places and entertainment are the perfect backdrop to a truly unforgettable holiday.
