Costa Rei is a tourist
resort of the Muravera municipality in the southern-east
Sardinia. It was founded at the end of seventies by a group of
foreign contractors and, over the years, has become famous thank
to its gorgeous coastline and to the pureness of its seas.
Costa Rei has one of the longer sandy beach of the whole
southern Sardinia (about 8 kilometres). Thanks to this feature
it is never overcrowded also during the high summer season. The
sea is really impressive for its transparency and for the
colors changing from sky blue to dark blue. The sea water
slopes down gently and allows to the children to have a bath in
complete safety.
The surroundings are characterized by a lush nature with its
typical Mediterranean features. The Mediterranean bushes offer
colors and perfumes very intense creating a suggestive ambience
ideal for a nature holiday.
This territory preserves traces of a very ancient past dating
back to the Nuragic era. The natural environment is the perfect
habitat for genuine vegetables and fruits cultivations. Small
farms produce tasty cheeses, fragrant honeys and liqueurs made
with natural berries. The wine tradition is mostly based on
cannonau grapes that find here the perfect environment for a
quality wine making. The features of the red wine obtained by
cannonau grapes are a intense perfume and a generous alcohol
content.
The typical cuisine is based on genuine products and on fresh
fish reared or caught locally. The holiday farms and the
restaurants prepare the traditional recipes or tasty mixed
grills with meat or fish served with the typical Sardinian wines.
On top Costa Rei offers the possibility to practice several
sport activities according to the individual preferences. The
sea sports such as windsurfing, canoeing, kite surfing and
snorkelling allow to enjoy the beauty of the coast. Other sports
such as mountain biking, trekking and horse back excursions are
perfect to appreciate the surrounding nature.
Visitors may find locally all the main services, shops and
restaurants. This feature helps to ensure a comfortable and
relaxing stay and makes Costa Rei the right place
also for a stay without a car.
