Holiday apartment in Portisco – Coast, diving and boat tours

Beaches and coast around Portisco

Spiaggia di Portisco is sheltered from the wind and has fine white sand, a shallow sandy seabed and turquoise water. These clearly distinguishable coastal features give the place a distinctive character for days by the sea. Several other places classified as beaches are also located in the immediate vicinity of Portisco: Spaggia Rena Bianca, Spiaggia Razza di Juncu per cani, Playa Razza de junco and Petra Ruja.

A strip of rock that partly rises out of the water in Portisco ends near the granite island of the same name. This means that the coast is characterised not only by sandy beaches, but also by a distinctive relationship between rock formations and the island. For your holiday apartment in Portisco, this combination may be interesting if you would like to vary the focus of your stay between the beach, views of the coastal formations and activities on the water.

Holiday apartment in Portisco for active days on the water

At Marina di Portisco, the Leila Diving Center offers guided individual and double dives every day. There are also snorkelling excursions and diving courses for all levels. This opens up various ways to experience the water: You can plan a guided dive, discover the underwater world while snorkelling or gradually approach diving through a course.

Ammenthos also focuses on several activities at Marina di Portisco. The company offers personalised boat tours that depart daily from the marina’s harbour in Portisco, and operates a rental service for inflatable boats and boats there. In addition, the marina offers boat rentals with a skipper, departing in the morning and returning at sunset. A half-day inflatable boat tour along the Costa Smeralda also starts in Portisco.

Art, history and places to visit

On Fridays, an exhibition of Sardinian handicrafts takes place in the town centre of Portisco from 18:00 to 24:00.
