Between the north-eastern tip of Sardinia and the southern coast of Corsica lie the Maddalena, an archipelago of seven main islands and many smaller ones, treasured for their rugged beauty and abundant wildlife. The islands form a designated wildlife park, with over 1,000 plant species and rarities such as the Budelli pink beach, whose colour comes from shells and corals. Hire a yacht from 7Pines Kempinski Yachting services and let the crew do the work, while you take in this paradise of hidden coves, granite peaks and perhaps glimpse a group of bottlenose dolphins or sea turtles.
