Domus de Maria

Domus de Maria is a municipality in southwestern Sardinia, located just a few kilometers from Pula and set in a territory of extraordinary natural beauty, where the countryside meets one of the island’s most pristine coastal areas. The village retains an authentic, rural character, deeply connected to agro-pastoral traditions and the slow pace of life typical of small Sardinian towns.

The municipal territory extends to the Chia coastline, famous for its bright white sandy beaches, wind-shaped dunes, and sea with intense shades of turquoise and emerald. Iconic beaches such as Su Giudeu, Cala Cipolla, and Porto Campana are set within a highly valuable natural environment, often accompanied by lagoons inhabited by pink flamingos and lush Mediterranean scrub.

Much of the area is part of the Chia Park, a protected natural area offering scenic trails, hiking routes, and opportunities for outdoor activities such as trekking, birdwatching, cycling, and water sports. The territory also preserves important historical evidence, from inland nuraghi to Phoenician and Roman traces along the coast, while the town itself maintains a strong community identity with low houses and cozy squares.

In this context of deep connection to the land, the preservation of local agricultural biodiversity plays a crucial role. In Domus de Maria, Paolo Atzeri, Pierluigi Cara, Andrea Cara, and Davide Carta serve as custodians of the Figu Niedda de Chia, a traditional fig variety that is strongly tied to the identity of the area. Thanks to their dedication, this valuable agricultural heritage continues to be preserved and passed on, helping safeguard the rural and cultural identity of the community.

Domus de Maria, in southwestern Sardinia, combines rural tradition with unspoiled nature. Its territory includes the iconic beaches of Chia, with white dunes, lagoons with flamingos, and crystal-clear waters, making it ideal for those seeking relaxation and authentic Sardinian experiences.
