The perfect spring excursion
Baia del Buon Dormire bay
Hidden amongst the rocks in Palinuro, there’s a little bay known as the Baia del Buon Dormire. Discover how to get there!
Do you want to know which is the most beautiful Palinuro beach? There’s no doubt in our minds that it’s Buon Dormire beach in the bay of the same name. This little beach in Palinuro, where our Santa Caterina Hotel is located, is hidden amongst the rocks and can only be reached by boat. The name of the bay means good sleep, because the beach always has areas of shade, making it the perfect place to settle down for a quick nap! In front of the bay, a distinctive rock shaped like a crouching rabbit rises from the sea, which is rather appropriately called the Isola del Coniglio (rabbit island). The bay is enchantingly beautiful: the water is crystal clear with turquoise tones that seem almost Caribbean, the beach is a golden yellow, and the Mediterranean maquis behind it provides a lush, green contrast to the blue of the sea. Departing from the port of Palinuro by boat, you can reach the bay in just a short time and then soak up the peace and quiet. If you’re looking for a place to relax, read, watch the waves on the sea, calm your mind, and leave the outside world behind, that’s precisely what you’ll find at Baia del Buon Dormire.
