The cove faces south, with marvelous views of the deep blue sea and Isolotto Cala Cipolla, a tiny island located 400 meters off the coast. On the west side, you’ll admire the views of the lighthouse on the headlands of Capo Spartivento located 800 meters away. The working lighthouse, which can be reached by a trail, is a unique location in Chia, as it serves as a hotel with six rooms.
The beach of Su Giudeu, a flamingo breeding ground, is located just north-east of Cala Cipolla and offers a car parking. Since this beach belongs to one of the best snorkeling beaches of South Sardinia, make sure to bring some snorkeling gear! You’ll also want to make sure you bring something for shade.
Near the beach you’ll find a small kiosk named “I Love Cala Cipolla” where you can rent parasols and sunbeds. But the bar is perhaps best known for the hospitality of the owners. They offer fair prices for sandwiches and drinks, and have amazing recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants in the area. So make sure you have a little chat with them while you’re there.
This small dreamy cove can get quite crowded; it’s best to go early in the morning during the high season. On Sundays, the beach is a favourite among the locals. After visiting Cala Cipolla, you’ll understand that this is one of the best beaches of South Sardinia!

The lighthouse as mentioned earlier was built in 1854 by the Italian Navy. It was fully restored in 2006 over a period of 8 years.

Double Rooms, a Junior Suite, and a Superior One-Bedroom Suite are available in Residenza Semaforisti, a separate building which opened its doors to hotel guests in 2016. Next to the building, an infinity swimming pool offers marvelous views of the wild and unspoiled nature of Capo Spartivento and the mountains along the coast. Although it's not the largest infinity pool on Sardinia, the views from the pool are the reason why the lighthouse hotel is a top feature in our list of Best Sardinia Hotels with Infinity Pool.
