The Cala Luna – Round trip is a difficult hike covering 5.2 miles (8.3 km) with a significant elevation gain of 1244 feet (379 metres), typically taking 3 hours and 1 minute to complete. You will navigate rocky, uneven paths through gorges and limestone cliffs, passing through dense juniper and holm oak forests. While sea views are limited for much of the route, the trail culminates at the stunning Cala Luna beach, known for its distinctive moon-like shape and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Expect sections with over 200 steps descending to the beach, offering a challenging but rewarding experience.
This trail is often underestimated, so good fitness, sure-footedness, and sturdy hiking shoes are essential for your visit. The popular starting point is Cala Fuili, and you should be prepared for potentially hot weather if you do not start early. A convenient option is to hike one-way to Cala Luna and then return by boat to Cala Gonone or Cala Fuili, avoiding the strenuous return journey.
Cala Luna beach is widely considered one of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean, making this trail particularly notable. The beach features natural caves that provide shade and incredibly clear turquoise waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The journey itself offers a unique opportunity to experience the rugged beauty of Sardinia's Gulf of Orosei coastline, with its dramatic limestone cliffs and rich Mediterranean vegetation. This route is also part of the longer Sentiero Selvaggio Blu.
