The municipality stretches across a fertile plain and is geographically characterized by its proximity to the impressive Monte Arci.

The geographical location of Marrubiu is defined by the plain of Campidano and the adjacent elevations of Monte Arci. The municipality is located in the Province of Oristano and serves as an important hub between Cagliari to the south and Oristano to the north. Its inclusion in the Parco Geominerario Storico ed Ambientale della Sardegna highlights the geological significance of the region, which is particularly known for its mineralogical diversity and volcanic history at the foot of the mountain massif.

The municipal area of Marrubiu directly borders Monte Arci, a prominent volcanic mountain massif. This location offers a varied natural backrop ranging from the agricultural lands of the Campidano plain to the protected areas of the Parco Geominerario Storico ed Ambientale della Sardegna.
