Hotel Cala Gogone

The large 1,000 m² swimming pool immediately attracts attention and also has a separate area for children, so that young and old both enjoy jumping into the water. Around the pool, there is a pleasant vacation atmosphere, especially when activities take place during the day and later in the day, everyone settles down for a drink or a show in the amphitheatre. Children have fun at the Hero Camp, teenagers find each other at the Young Club and in between, there is plenty of room for a game of tennis, soccer or pickleball. The beach is about 800 meters away and is notable for its light sand with small pink pebbles; those who don't want to walk take the free shuttle train. That makes a beach day with kids just a little easier. Bring towels, hop on and go. Moreover, in Cala Gonone itself awaits that typical Sardinian atmosphere of a coastal town where families stroll through the streets after swimming or stroll toward the harbour for an ice cream with a view.

At Cala Gonone, the whole family sits down to extensive buffet meals with Sardinian and international dishes, pizza, fruit and desserts, while on some evenings the local cuisine gets extra attention. Extra nice for families: there is plenty of choice for all ages, and for the little ones, there is a baby feeding room with basic products open all day. Around the pool in the evening, the circular terrace awaits alfresco dining. On the beach is Palma Beach bar and restaurant, convenient for those who prefer to divide the day between sea and lunch without detours.

From Cala Gonone, one of the most beautiful pieces of Sardinia, it is almost there for the taking. Cala Gonone is an important starting point for boat trips along the Gulf of Orosei, towards such famous coves as Cala Luna, Cala Mariolu and Cala Goloritzé. The Grotta del Bue Marino is also one of the region's classics; excursions to this sea cave depart from the port. Prefer a trip without a boat? The aquarium of Cala Gonone is located in the village itself and provides a fun way for children to learn about life in the Mediterranean. For families who also want to see inland, the Hotel Cala Gonone makes a strong base. The Gorropu Gorge is about 26 kilometres from Cala Gonone and is an impressive setting for an active day in nature. Those who want to take it more leisurely will stay closer to the hotel and opt for a walk through Cala Gonone or a drive to Dorgali, where Sardinian traditions, small stores and local atmosphere are still fully felt. Thus, a holiday here always takes on a different colour: one day beach and pool, the next day a boat ride, cave or mountain scenery. That makes this place so attractive for families who want more than just sun.
