Arco dei Baci

Is Praneddas: the Arch of Kisses

A marvel

Nestled in the wildest coastline of Sant'Antioco, the fantastic inlet of 'Is Praneddas' is an authentic jewel of the island. To get there, you will have to walk a short and fascinating path through pine trees and Mediterranean maquis to then give way to rocks and cliffs and, finally, to the deep blue of a boundless sea. You will be astonished by the splendid forms sculpted by nature and time, by the majestic Arco dei Baci: a natural monument of incredible beauty, romantic and evocative, opening onto the sea, enchanting visitors. At Is Praneddas you can dive into the small natural pool that frames the Arco dei Baci and swim in its placid, shallow waters. But with a few more strokes, you can ideally cross the 'Pillars of Hercules' of the rocky arch above the pool to continue towards the deep blue of the open sea: a true spectacle for lovers of wild nature, capable of giving indelible emotions
