Is Serenas is situated on the north west coast of Sardinia between Castelsardo and Isola Rossa, approximately 80km from Alghero. Badesi is the closest town (6km) from the resort, a market town with a selection of shops, supermarket, pharmacy, banks, cash point (Bancomat) and souvenir shops. Badesi Mare is on the coastal side the main road leading to an 8km white sandy beach with watersports, sunbeds and parasols for hire and a few beach shops and snack bar.

Isola Rossa (12km) is a picturesque old fishing village with a few restaurants, shops and marina set on a rocky promontory surrounded by sea, situated off the road leading from Castelsardo to Santa Teresa on the north west coast of Sardinia. It has two white sandy beaches and due to its position benefits from stunning sunsets which, as the name suggests, lights up the landscape turning the coastline different shades of red. Aqua Fantasy water park is great for families.

Castelsardo (20km) is a strategic landmark on the north west coast with an ancient citadel perched on the hilltop jutting out into the sea. Little cobbled alleyways wind their way up past shops displaying traditional handicrafts, ceramics and basket ware for which the town is renowned. The old fishing port is still active and there is a small town beach, shops, bars and pizzerias. Look out for the Roccia dell'Elefante, a large rock eroded in the shape of a baby elephant on the way out of the town!
