Overview of Palau

Palau is a municipality in the province of Sassari, about 30 km northwest of Olbia. It is located in Punta Sardegna and was founded in 1875 by local shepherds. It is a land and sea resort and an exquisite starting point for exploring the nearby Maddalena Archipelago.

Set off on a crossing to some of the most beautiful islands in this archipelago: Spargi, Budelli, Santo Stefano and Caprera. Don't miss out on unforgettable stops, and check out our Maddalena Yacht Charter page for details on the most beautiful places to visit.

If you prefer instead to stay on the coast for a shorter, less difficult charter, we recommend heading north to Porto Pollo and Porto Pozzo for kite or windsurfing in the summer, or south to Cannigione and Baja Sardinia, gorgeous places with emerald waters. Also visit Porto Cervo, the pearl of the Costa Smeralda.
