Porto Rafael is a charming seaside resort that sits right in front of the striking La Maddalena Archipelago, just a few kilometres driving away from Palau. Founded in 1961 by Raphael Count of Neville, whose dream was to create his own Sardinian "Dolce Vita" hideaway, Porto Rafael still preserves the charm of those old days, and it became the gathering of an international jet set. Characterised by a quaint piazza overlooking Cala Inglese, also known as the 'Porto Rafael pool', and by the white houses bounded by colourful gardens. It is a popular destination for summer holidays, frequented by personalities from the world of entertainment, yet is also suited to families and lovers of relaxation and bustling social life. The centre is equipped with all services, while also being home to renowned international sailing events during the summer. Not to be missed is 11th August, when a particular event is held in the piazza whereby all participants, dressed in a white tunic, dance in honour of the Count who founded the town. The small marina of Porto Rafael is an ideal point of arrival for small and large boats, as well as for setting out on excursions to the enchanting islands of the archipelago. Just a stone's throw from the village, along the coast of Palau, you will find small beaches of coarse-grained pink sand with small pebbles, all forming authentic natural pools.
