Golfo Aranci is a town in the Province of Sassari, Sardinia. The village extends along a strip of land in the sea, overlooking the gulf of Olbia, that ends at the base of Capo Figari. The village is characterized by colourful little houses, a beautiful harbour, some impressive modern shops and a lovely selection of bars and restaurants to sample both international and traditional Sardinian cuisine. The coast offers over twenty heavenly beaches and sheer cliffs overlooking the crystal clear turquoise waters. Most important beaches of the area are the Cinque Spiagge (Five Beaches), Cala Moresca, Cala Banana, Nodu Pianu, Punta Pedrosa and Cala Sassari.
