Best Beach Hotels in Alghero – Where to Stay?

In this review, I’ve selected hotels in Alghero (Alghero) near the beach, in the “little Barcelona” (Barceloneta) as locals affectionately call it, and in the main city of Sardinia’s Coral Riviera (Riviera del Corallo) in northwestern Sardinia (Sardegna).

Rich history, a unique blend of Sardinian traditions with Catalan culture, and numerous picturesque beaches have brought extraordinary popularity to this medieval city among travelers.

Based on traveler reviews and my personal experience, I’m pleased to present a variety of properties differing in type, star rating, price range, room options, and location. Let’s choose the most suitable option for a beach getaway in Alghero.

B&B Acabara

The guesthouse B&B Acabara is 1.9 miles (3 km) from downtown Alghero, within easy reach of the 1.2-mile (2 km) Maria Pia Beach, with its fine white sand and shaded pine grove just behind it.

The warm hosts offer two double rooms, each with the option of an extra bed. The bright rooms are spotlessly clean, comfortably furnished, and equipped with standard amenities. Guests enjoy private parking, free WiFi, and access to a shared kitchen. In the garden, an outdoor dining area serves an Italian breakfast daily with traditional appetizers, homemade pastries, sweets, fruit, and hot beverages. Children under age 8 stay free with their parents. Nearby amenities include a shopping mall, supermarkets, bars, restaurants, and sports facilities with a pool.

For lunch, dine at the nearby La Pergola restaurant, which offers a fine selection of pizza and outstanding seafood. A 10-minute walk away is the city’s best gelateria, Alghero Gelateria Oops!, with a rich assortment of desserts and ice creams for every taste.

There you can descend 656 steps along scenic lookout points to the impressive Grotta di Nettuno. For those not up for the return climb, I recommend a boat tour to the grotto.
