Sardinia Holidays

Holidays to Sardinia will leave you spoilt for choice. This Mediterranean paradise, most famous for its glamourous Costa Smeralda strip, allures sun seekers with the promise of white gold sands and glittering blue seas. A sailors’ respite, yacht clubs, luxury spas and golf clubs adorn the picturesque coastline of Cagliari – the capital city – with ample spots where you can dine on fine cuisine and sip contemporary cocktails late into the evening.

Further inland, idyllic towns and villages offer historians an insight in the ancient Roman history of the island. For explorers, there is an array of appealing mountain trails to wander, and the unspoilt environment is a haven for nature lovers. Families are always welcome in South Sardinia; the action-packed Forte Village Resort offers a one stop shop for all your holiday needs. The range of activities is seemingly endless, with water sports, a waterpark, theme park and plenty of outdoor sports which will keep even the shortest of attention spans occupied. In the evenings, join in the local tradition of passeggiata; a leisurely social stroll before settling in for an evening feasting on fresh seafood and local wines.

In North Sardinia you will find Santa Teresa di Gallura, a unique town perched overlooking the strait of Bonifacio. Make an early morning trip to watch the sun rise over the rocky shelf surrounded by weather worn granite blocks and witness the sea come to life as the light washes over the calm waves. The view is just as magical as the sun sets. Enjoy a glass of Mirto – a locally produced berry liqueur - overlooking Cala Spinosa as the waves lap against the jagged rocks.

Sardinia is steeped in rich history, and there is a wealth of land to explore. In North Sardinia you can visit Isola Rossa, also known as Red Island (due to a red-rock outcrop in the sea). This little village has plenty of great restaurants and a gorgeous sandy beach with crystal clear waters – perfect for snorkelling.

Don’t miss out on the Trenino Verde – the little green train – to Palau. It takes passengers through scenic routes at a leisurely pace, climbing steadily through lush hillsides, navigating round hairpin turns, and gently descending from the mountain peaks down to Gallura. Only the birds’ call and the noise of the train break the silence.

For those who want more of a laid-back luxury experience, make your way to seaside resort of Porto Cervo. There you’ll find an inspiring range of restaurants, catering to all tastes and budgets.

Alternatively, Cannigione is another beautiful beach resort, with easy access around the island and of course the gorgeous La Maddalena archipelago – with its turquoise translucent waters and pristine beaches. To see the most out of this picturesque location it’s definitely worth joining a boat tour, which will take you around the mesmerising coast-line.

If you'd prefer to get to know the island at your own pace, you can opt for a Sardinia self-drive adventure. Hire a car and take to the coastal roads, stopping off on golden beaches, before heading inland to rural villages full of charm and character.
