About Solanas
Solanas is the seaside part of Sinnai, an exclave cut off from the rest of the municipality and visited mainly in holiday periods. The homes are spread across the small resort. Its beach is about a kilometre of golden sand closed off by the Capo Boi promontory and a rocky, scrub-covered peak, with a dune at the foot of Capo Boi. The shallows drop quickly into deeper water with plenty of fish. Wind makes it a windsurfing and kitesurfing beach, and dinghies and boats can be hired. The village has supermarkets, pharmacies, bars and restaurants, so a self-catering week works without driving to Cagliari.

Near Solanas
Capo Boi tower
A Spanish tower reached on a trekking trail across the promontory, about 120 metres up, looking towards Capo Carbonara and Cavoli island.
Torre delle Stelle
The headland to the west, mostly in Maracalagonis, with the white-sand beaches of Cann'e Sisa and Genn'e Mari, about 4 km from Solanas.
Porto sa Ruxi
The unusual three-arched beach to the east of Solanas, where the Villasimius coastline begins, for a change of sand and scenery.
Getting to Solanas
Fly to Cagliari. Solanas is about 36 km from the city, reached on the SS 125 coast road, which is signposted from Capo Boi. A car makes sense here, both for the airport run and for trying the beaches either side of the village.
When to go to Solanas
Solanas fills up in the holiday periods and is quiet the rest of the year. Windy days suit windsurfers and kitesurfers; calm ones are better for snorkelling off the rocks, where the water deepens quickly and fish gather.

Is Solanas good for watersports?

Is Solanas quiet out of season?
