Baunei: experiences in the unspoiled nature, crystal clear sea and pure adventure

Baunei is one of the most authentic and wild gems of Ogliastra, on Sardinia’s east coast. Nestled between rugged mountains and spectacular coastlines, it’s the ideal village for nature‑immersed hikes, cultural tours, and days of pure adventure among cliffs and scenic trails.

Its territory stretches from the slopes of the Supramonte mountains to some of the Mediterranean’s most famous coves, like Cala Goloritzé, Cala Mariolu and Cala Sisine. Here, untamed nature reigns supreme: sheer limestone walls, forests of holm oaks and junipers, deep canyons, and jaw‑dropping views. Baunei experiences are crafted for explorers. Jeep tours cross plateaus and ancient shepherd huts, reaching exclusive trailheads for some of Sardinia’s finest treks.

For adrenaline seekers, abseiling routes down limestone towers like Pedra Longa offer thrilling encounters with the wild. Cultural tours visit hilltop villages, rural churches and archaeological sites rooted in Ogliastra tradition. Along the coast, boat trips unveil sea cliffs, hidden marine caves and beaches accessible only by water – a paradise for photographers and snorkelers.

With Escursì, every activity highlights the area’s identity and offers authentic, locally guided experiences. Baunei is the perfect destination for those who want to experience the true Sardinia, off the beaten track and deep into the island’s soul. Discover the best excursions, tours and activities in Baunei, and gift yourself a day that combines nature, adventure and pure beauty.
