Visitors can unwind in a natural and serene environment, away from urban chaos, while still taking advantage of the city’s amenities and the artistic and cultural wonders of historic Iglesias, which is just a few minutes away.
Iglesias is a charming medieval town with numerous ancient churches showcasing various architectural styles (Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, etc.) and is situated at the foot of Mount Marganai, renowned for its botanical garden and oak forests (holm and cork).
Another distinctive feature of Iglesias is its rich mining heritage, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.
The city's main beach, Masua, is a true Mediterranean gem: its stunning bay with crystal-clear waters, the famous "Pan di Zucchero" rock formation standing 133 meters tall, and its spectacular cliffs combine with remnants of the local mining history, such as the archaeological site of "Porto Flavia," unique for its ingenuity and construction techniques.
The coast, with its steep rocky cliffs, also serves as a landmark for free-climbing enthusiasts.
The area is also rich in visitable natural caves and boasts an important archaeological heritage that reflects ancient civilizations (Nuragic, Phoenician, Punic, Roman).
