How to Get to Cala Goloritze – 2025’s #1 Best Beach in the World

Alyssa Ramos

Search

If you’ve ever searched for the best beaches in the world, chances are you’ve seen a photo of Cala Goloritzé, which was named 2025’s #1 best beach in the World by a panel of beach experts, including myself! Ironically, I actually now live in the area of Sardinia, Italy where this beach is found, so I know first hand all of the information for seeing it, along with other, dare I say, better, beaches nearby!

The iconic view of Cala Goloritze is with this natural arch! Spoiler alert, there were around 100 people behind me.

Cala Goloritze is an impossibly beautiful turquoise-water cove tucked into the rugged cliffs of Sardinia’s Baunei coast, about 30 minutes from where I now call home! This UNESCO-protected beach isn’t just photogenic—it’s a reward for the adventurous traveler willing to hike or sail/swim to paradise. Spoiler alert: that’s the only way you can get there!

Don’t worry if you’re unable to hike or swim, I also have suggestions for similar, if not better beaches that are easier to get to! You can check them out at the end of this post or on my Ultimate Summer in Sardinia Guide!

Here’s everything you need to know about how to get to Cala Goloritze, plus tips to make the most of your visit!

PS: English is not widely spoken here, and things can be a bit difficult to plan/coordinate! If you’d like my help, I offer travel planning services and I also rent out my boat! Send me an email at info@mylifesamovie.com!


Why Cala Goloritze Is One of the Best Beaches in the World

Located in the Gulf of Orosei, along the Baunei Coast, Cala Goloritze is renowned for its clear waters, bright white limestone cliffs, and the dramatic limestone spire called Aguglia, which towers nearly 150 meters above the sea, and is a prime activity for courageous climbers.

Since it’s a protected beach, you won’t find beach bars, crowds, plastic loungers, or even a road to get there —just unspoiled nature. That’s part of what earns it a place on so many lists of the best beaches in the world.


Spoiler Alerts About Cala Goloritze

Since I’m a realist, and very honest, I do want to mention a few spoiler alerts in case you use this information to get there and have any disappointments! My main ones are:

  • The hike is quite strenuous, and mostly an incline. Be well prepared to several hours of tough hiking
  • Wear shoes with ankle support because the path is mostly unstable rocks
  • Try to do the hike very early because it will get extremely hot, and be sure to have plenty of water
  • There’s no toilets or places to buy water at the beach
  • The actual beach is pretty small, and therefore usually crowded from June-September.
  • Instead of sand, the beach is tiny pebbles, which are a bit painful, so consider water shoes
  • The water is beautiful but usually pretty cold!

Getting There Option 1: Hike to Cala Goloritze

The most common and allegedly rewarding way to reach this year’s best beach in the world; Cala Goloritze, is by foot. In fact, the hike to Cala Goloritze is one of the most popular ones in this area! Please be sure you have read my spoiler alerts above though!

Start Point: Su Porteddu, a paid parking area above Baunei.
Hike Distance: ~3.5 km (about 2.2 miles) one way
Time: 1.5 hours down, 2 hours back up (it’s steep!) Open from 8am to 2pm to hike in
Cost: Entry fee of €6 per person, reserve in advance online here: www.heartofsardinia.com/

What to Expect:
The hike takes you down a rocky, exposed trail that winds through Mediterranean scrub with sweeping views of the coastline. It’s not overly difficult, but it’s definitely a good workout—bring water, wear hiking shoes, and avoid the midday heat!

Once you arrive, you’ll descend a short wooden (slightly sketchy) staircase to the beach, where you can swim in water so clear it almost looks unreal!

Be sure to keep your ticket in a safe place, because they check it at the beach after the long hike!


Getting There Option 2: Boat and Swim to Cala Goloritze

You can’t dock directly on the beach (boats are required to anchor offshore), but visiting Cala Goloritze by sea is another unforgettable option. You’ll be able to pass by to see it on most of the typical boat tours of the Baunei Coast, but most don’t stop to let you swim to it unless it’s a private tour.

The swim distance is pretty far, likely around 20-30 minutes. You can bring a floatie, or even a paddle board to help you out!

If you’re interested in private boat tours to Cala Goloritze, please fill out the form above! I own a boat here and am offering custom tours with an experienced skipper this summer!

How to Get to Cala Goloritze by Boat:

  • Take a boat tour from Santa Maria Navarrese, Cala Gonone, or Arbatax.
  • Some tours offer a swim stop near the beach, but not enough time to actually go to it unless it’s a private tour
  • You’ll need to swim 20-30 minutes to get to the actual beach
  • If it’s crowded, sometimes it’s better to see it by boat!
  • Book a tour in advance in summer, or email me to see if my boat is available! (info@mylifesamovie.com)  

Pro Tips for Visiting Cala Goloritze

  • Arrive Early: Visitor numbers are capped at 250 people per day. Book your entry (for hiking) in advance during summer.
  • Pack Light, But Smart: Bring reef-friendly sunscreen, water, and snacks. There are no services on the beach. You might also want to bring a dry change of clothes.
  • Leave No Trace: Cala Goloritze is protected for a reason. Take everything you bring with you when you leave.
  • Swim Shoes Help: The beach is mostly small white pebbles, which can get hot and slippery, and are pretty painful to walk on.
  • Hike Farther: Don’t just stop at the main beach area when you arrive! Keep climbing over the rocks to the left and you’ll find several small covers with much less people.

Other Beaches to See on the Baunei Coast

The Baunei Coast has many beautiful beaches and coves, some I’d dare say are even better than Cala Goloritze! All are accessible the same way; either by hiking or by boat, and you can see most of them with a Baunei Coast boat tour.

Last year Cala Mariolu was named the #2 beach in the world, which is one of the beaches on this coast. There’s also Cala Gabbiano, and Cala Luna that are very beautiful! Here’s my travel tips for How to Get to Cala Mariolu!

If you don’t have time to do a boat tour or hike, there are plenty of stunning beaches that are accessible by car in this area! My favorites near where I live are Porto Frailis beach, Il Golfetto, and the large and sandy Cea Beach.

Below are some affordable boat tours you can book (shared and private):

Best Things to do in Baunei, Tortoli, and Bari Sardo

The seaside town of Porto Frailis we also live by

If you’re looking for more things to do in the Blue Zone, I have a ton of suggestions on my Sardinia Travel Guide, but below is a quick overview!

  • Come visit me at our vineyard for a wine tasting (Cantina Gebelias)
  • Check out beaches like Cea Beach, Lido di Orri, Porto Frailis, and Bari Sardo
  • Go to aperitivo at La Bitta, Aquachiara, Sunset, Ivy Beach, or Al Mare
  • Have goats milk gelato in Baunei
  • Eat traditional pasta dishes like culurgiones, malloredus, and fregola
  • Check out the mountain town of Launusei

Final Thoughts

Cala Goloritze isn’t the easiest beach to reach—but that’s exactly what makes it so magical. Whether you hike in or sail along the coast, this slice of Sardinian coastline is proof that the best beaches in the world are often those you have to work for.

So pack your sense of adventure, and get ready to earn your spot on one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful shores.

  • I've been waiting 2 years for this adventure in Pakistan, so after an 18 hour journey to get here, I hit the ground running!

Sundays are mellow and a lot less crowded, so I got a relatively chill stroll through the Kotwali Wala Bazar, where I stopped for chai, bought too many pairs of shoes and bangles, and a free hand stamp henna!

Then it was off to the famous Haveli rooftop restaurant in a former mansion overlooking the mosque and other religious sites, followed by another chai, a stop at the pharmacy in the dodgier area (picked up a cold in between trips), and finally back to a 5 star hotel i found for just $65 per night!

Absolutely loving it so far, and I'm so grateful for my hosts @destinationpakistan who have been so patient with my constant travel changes and made up itineraries! Cannot wait to come back here with a group already, and i haven't even gotten to the mountains yet!!!

I'm going to attempt daily posts, so please be sure to follow along if you're interested in seeing more! 

Also yes, so far I feel safe here as a solo female travelers, but let's see how it is on a crowded Monday and after that lovely little mountain flight on Tuesday! 

Anyone have Pakistan on their bucketlist??
  • Finally beat the budget airlines game!! This is for everyone who has ever gotten excited for a $20 flight in the EU, only to end up paying double for even a carryon!

[Comment “travel” and I’ll DM you the link to my packing tutorial and all of these products!]

For everyone who has tried to layer on as much as possible when they’re weighing bags, and who has had a mini melt down when they ask to place your bag in the measuring bin! 

I present to you, my top travel packing hacks as a full time travel professional: 

1. Travel compression bags (now with portable pump)
2. Foldable toiletry bag with bare minimum necessities
3. Bags that sneakily expand
4. Convertible shoes

This is all I packed for a 6 day trip to Venice, Mallorca, and a black tie wedding in Alicante!

And if I can do it, so can you, becaaauussee

I’m a former live-out-of-giant-suitcase gal from my decade as a nomad, but now with a home base in Italy (and Mexico), I’ve adapted to “bring as little as possible since you go back home”, both for convenience and to avoid thousands of dollars in baggage fees each year! 

Do you think you could manage with a personal item only?? Are you a checked bag person or carry on only?

  • Traveling was not a possibility for me when I was younger, yet now I’ve reached my 150th country (out of the 197 list which includes Kosovo)!! It has taken me 12 years, I’ve done most of them solo, and many have been collaborations that I received or pitched, but anything else, including most flights was solely paid for by myself, and here’s how I did it:

(But first! Comment “TRAVEL” and I’ll send you links to my tips for making money while traveling, how to play flight roulette, and also this Balkans roadtrip itinerary!)

14 years ago - I started my blog but it didn’t make much money for a couple years. I used my only money and a credit card to take my first trip.

I was one of the first people to pitch the concept of “free trips in exchange for social media posts” and I sent hundreds of them, always landing at least one, but there was still so much to see!

With the money I earned from my blog, paid posts, and my writing for other platforms, I’d go travel but I’d play what I called “flight roulette”, where I pick “anywhere” as the destination, and choose the cheapest flight to somewhere I hadn’t been yet!

As my business grew, I needed to repeat many countries each time year, and now I still travel to an average of 25 countries per year as a traveler-by-trade (influencer/entrepreneur), with the goal of 5-10 new ones each year.

I never thought I’d reach all 197 countries…but now that there’s only 47 left…do I attempt it?!?!

You can see all the countries I’ve been to and written about on my blog using the clickable map on the home page of mylifesamovie.com, or the menu that’s categorized by destination!

As for making money to travel - I have a lot of posts on that and also a course, which teaches techniques for everyone, not just those wanting to be a creator!

And for anyone who DOES want to be a creator or group trip host — my biggest advice is to find a niche personal to you, find your specific audience who can relate, and don’t just copy other people’s techniques, create new ones and stand out! Originality is admirable!! 😁

Thank you everyone who has stayed on this looonnggg journey with me! I can’t

  • Traveled solo in China earlier this year and became slightly obsessed! Out of the now 150 countries I’ve been to, I think it might actually be in my top 10!

That’s why I had to add it to our group trips! We are officially 1 year away from our Zhangjiajie - Chongqing - Beijing/Shanghai group adventure with just a few spots left! 

***Comment “China” and I’ll send you the trip info, and also an option to see my general blog post about it with tips (but PLZ don’t copy it for business purposes 🙏)

If you’re on my level of adventure-obsessed, this is definitely the trip for you! It includes all of my favorite activities I did, like the Skyscraper Rappelling, Cloud Walk and Swing, Motorcycle video shoot, and alllllll the Avatar mountain things!
 
Btw can you tell I’m wearing an “Avatar” outfit doing the zip line in the Avatar Mountains? 🤓 

I’ll also be curious to see if we can recreate my Great Wall of China pics with no people from when I was there almost 10 years ago…before people-remover was a basic editing feature!

The only reasons you should NOT get an eSIM are if you enjoy searching for wifi, paying more for roaming, or you really want to disconnect 😜 But if you want to make your trip easier, just download an app like @alosim_app and get an affordable data plan, install it in seconds, and then it'll activate as soon as you arrive! No sketchy airport wifi required. Comment "esim" and I'll send you my step by step guide for how to use one, and you can also use TRAVELMOVIE for an extra discount! Note: your phone must be unlocked to use an eSIM!

Traveled solo in China earlier this year and became slightly obsessed! Out of the now 150 countries I’ve been to, I think it might actually be in my top 10!

That’s why I had to add it to our group trips! We are officially 1 year away from our Zhangjiajie - Chongqing - Beijing/Shanghai group adventure with just a few spots left! 

***Comment “China” and I’ll send you the trip info, and also an option to see my general blog post about it with tips (but PLZ don’t copy it for business purposes 🙏)

If you’re on my level of adventure-obsessed, this is definitely the trip for you! It includes all of my favorite activities I did, like the Skyscraper Rappelling, Cloud Walk and Swing, Motorcycle video shoot, and alllllll the Avatar mountain things!
 
Btw can you tell I’m wearing an “Avatar” outfit doing the zip line in the Avatar Mountains? 🤓 

I’ll also be curious to see if we can recreate my Great Wall of China pics with no people from when I was there almost 10 years ago…before people-remover was a basic editing feature!
