Discover Torre delle Stelle
Torre delle Stelle is a coastal village in the Metropolitan City of Cagliari, set on the southeastern shore of Sardinia along the Mediterranean Sea. Built across two small headlands with sandy bays on either side, it is surrounded by pine groves, rocky coves, and gently rising hills that frame views over clear turquoise water. The settlement has a predominantly residential layout, reflecting its origins as a holiday village, with winding streets overlooking beaches and stretches of Mediterranean scrub.
​
Its name refers to an old watchtower, part of the island’s former coastal defence system, which stands above the sea and marks one of the village’s most recognisable viewpoints. Torre delle Stelle is known for its beaches, seasonal atmosphere, and relaxed seaside rhythm, with coastal paths and nearby viewpoints shaping much of local life. Positioned between Cagliari and Villasimius, it lies on one of Sardinia’s most scenic coastal routes, offering easy access to neighbouring coves and the wider landscapes of the island’s southeastern coast.

Things to Do

Things to Do in Torre delle Stelle
  • Spiaggia di Genn'e Mari is one of the two main beaches in Torre delle Stelle, offering fine sand and clear, shallow water. The beach is family-friendly and popular for swimming and snorkelling. Facilities include seasonal kiosks, sunbed rental and nearby parking.
  • Spiaggia di Cann'e Sisa lies on the opposite side of the headland, with soft sand and more exposed waters ideal for bodyboarding. It is less developed than Genn'e Mari but equally scenic, with rocky outcrops and views over the Gulf of Cagliari.
  • Torre de Su Fenugu, the namesake tower of the area, is a small 17th-century Spanish lookout. Perched on the hillside, it is reached by footpaths and offers panoramic views. The tower is not open to the public but serves as a scenic walking destination.
  • Snorkelling and paddleboarding along the coast are popular due to the rocky seabed and clear conditions. Equipment can be rented locally in summer, with the best spots around headlands and coves. Marine life includes sea bream, starfish and small octopuses.
  • Boat trips from nearby Maracalagonis or Villasimius provide access to hidden beaches and sea caves. Tours range from short coastal cruises to full-day excursions along the southeastern coast. Some options include swimming stops and lunch onboard.
