The Venus Pools are a unique natural phenomenon along the Gulf of Orosei coast: natural pools carved into limestone rock, filled by the sea with turquoise and crystal-clear water. Located between Cala Sisine and Cala Biriola, they are one of the most spectacular stops on any gulf excursion.
The pools form in cavities along the coastal rock where the sea enters and calms, creating pools of incredible colours — from turquoise to emerald green — with perfect visibility. The smooth white rock creates a breathtaking contrast with the water colour.
How to get there
The Venus Pools are accessible exclusively by sea. With a rental dinghy from Cala Gonone, you can reach them in approximately 35-40 minutes. You can anchor nearby and reach them by swimming or a short walk on the rocks. They are an unmissable stop on guided excursions.
What to expect
A unique bathing experience in natural pools with warm, calm water, perfect for relaxing and snorkeling. The pools are particularly beautiful during midday hours when the sun illuminates the seabed. Bring water shoes for easy walking on the rocks.
