Italy's Island Holidays

 Italy is an island holiday paradise! Lounge on sun-soaked beaches and watch the world go by in beachfront cafés as you overlook crystal clear waters. From family-focused destinations to exclusive romantic couple’s retreats, all of which are topped off with jaw-dropping natural beauty, the islands of Italy are a real treat. 

Italy’s sparkling islands have been drawing a glamorous crowd of A-listers for decades. Off the Gulf of Naples, holidays to Capri are a jetsetter’s paradise. Expect luxury hotels, designer boutiques, and opulent boats lined along the marinas. Indulge in low-key relaxation on Italy’s own spa island with a luxury holiday in Ischia, famed for its natural and healing thermal springs. 

Sardinia is a fabulous self-drive destination with a whopping 1,220 mile stretch of unspoiled coastline to explore. The exclusive, glitzy Baia Sardinia in the North provides the perfect base to start, while the renowned strip of Costa Smeralda is ideal for sun-seeking couples.

Looking to entertain your children? There are plenty of all-inclusive holidays in Sardinia, particularly in the South. You’ll find endless family-friendly activities including watersports on the azure waters, rugged trails and forests for hiking and cycling, and luxury golf clubs and spas.

Sardinia holidays are a foodie’s dream with culinary delights, fine wines, and local markets to tuck into. 

When you’re holidaying in the Italian countryside or along the coast, we highly recommend you add a few nights to holiday in Italy’s islands as they are stunningly scenic. Head to the laidback Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily to immerse yourself in picturesque bays and volcanic backdrops.  

Even if you’re short on time, be sure to take a day trip to visit popular attractions, such as the glowing Blue Grotto of Capri or medieval Castello Aragonese in Ischia, both just a ferry hop away from Naples. With over 80 islands surrounding the mainland, you will never tire of choosing a Citalia island holiday in Italy.
