Cala Goloritzé Named World's Best Beach for 2025

The Sardinian natural monument tops the list for its pristine beauty, strict conservation policies, and unique limestone spire.

Overview

  • Cala Goloritzé on Sardinia's Baunei Coast has been crowned the world's best beach in the 2025 World's 50 Best Beaches ranking.
  • Known for its 143-metre limestone pinnacle and crystal-clear waters, the beach offers a striking and serene natural experience.
  • Designated a natural monument in the 1990s, access to Cala Goloritzé is restricted to preserve its environment, with daily caps on hiking tickets and boat anchoring rules.
  • Travel experts recommend visiting in June or September to avoid peak summer crowds while still enjoying ideal weather.
  • UK media highlight Soar Mill Cove in Devon as a domestic alternative, accessible only by foot and offering a peaceful, signal-free escape.
