Golfo Aranci is the marvellous gulf  located on the north eastern coast of Sardinia.
The town has excellent sea connections with the rest of Italy thanks to its important port.  It is only a few km from Porto Rotondo and 15 km from Olbia. The name Golfo Aranci has two different explanations; the first concerns   the distant shipwreck  of a ship full of oranges, the second and more credible is linked to the Sardinian term " granci" in other words crabs that can be easily found in this area.
In addition to the stunning beaches in the gulf , one mustn't forget the other equally beautiful beaches in the immediate vicinities, like for example, Cala Moresca, Cala Greca, Cala Sabina and the  spiaggia Bianca. The marine reserve of the island of  Tavolara is very near, along side  the beautiful Capo Coda Cavallo. The sea, famous for its transparency and beauty offers wonderful water sports opportunities, in particular scuba diving. Nearby is the enchanting Cala Moresca and its pine forest which can be reached only on foot or by bicycle.
One of the most evocative archeological remains of the area is the Sacred  Well of Milis, which dates back to the Nuragic era.
Golfo Aranci is characterised by excellent services and hotels, the ideal location for enjoying the beauty of  the sea and the nature and the glamorous nightlife.
