About the location
Set near the northern tip of the island, Baia Sardinia is known for its wide sandy beach and crystal-clear waters. Located within a sheltered cove, this exclusive coastal town looks out to the spectacular Maddalena Archipelago – situated just a short boat ride from the town – and provides a great base from which to explore the Sardinian coastline.
Baia Sardinia’s attractions tend to revolve around the natural beauty of the area, with the beach taking centre stage. Watersports are popular, with sailing and diving among the town’s biggest draws for visitors.
For the young (or young at heart), the nearby Aquadream waterpark provides a good range of thrills, plus there are plenty of delights at Porto Cervo to be enjoyed, including a great museum and the local golf course.
Dining is generally local cuisine, although the luxury hotels dotted around the resort often offer more international fare, sometimes with great views to accompany. Expect to see seafood on most menus – it’s a local speciality thanks to the coastal location.
Transfer time
The hotel is 30 minutes from Olbia airport. We recommend hiring a car in your destination. Simply call us once you’ve completed your booking and we will talk you through the options.

Hi All, Just returned from a ??4600+ 3 adult visit on 1/2 board basis. This Hotel had quite good reviews on tripadvisor, i'm about to say how disappointed we were with our stay of 9 nights. 28/07/20- 06/8/20.
This was a getaway for myself, wife and daughter who's a Paramedic in London and deserved a real nice holiday, despite Covid-19. Unfortunately this wasn't the case, and she couldn't wait to get back to work !!
The Hotel seemed grubby on arrival, bad dated furniture, carpets looked dirty, lighting was dim, tiny lift so cases had to go before us. Charges of 63 euros each to visit a local market without lunch, really !! i could shop at Harrods for that. They offer boiled or under-cooked scrambled eggs for breakfast, fried eggs were extra, 5 euros for 2. disgraceful !! Having paid for drinks at dinner, we were told to move from the bar area as we hadn't bought a drink, I could understand this if it were busy, but there was only 6 people in the whole area, wish I'd recorded that now, as the reception said " I don't believe that"
Pool(s) and beach area were great, but some idiots still lay towels out, and hardly used all day. Can't even blame the Germans for that (stereotype)
Two people who were really helpful were Maryna (reception)and Jasmine (dining hall) both great hearted people and generally care for visitors, please send them my kind regards. The list could go on but very disappointed for my wife and especially my daughter who deserved a better break than this.

This cosy hotel has its private beautiful sandy beach and at least six little pools, trimmed garden and an amazing sea view from the upper restaurant.The food at the breakfast and four-course dinners were fantastic. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. We stayed in this hotel during "corona summer", so we experienced a very calm and relaxing stay. But we can imagine, that it might be a different impression if it had been fully occupied.

Everything is perfect here. However I haven???t dined at the hotel because meals are served indoors while there is a totally amazing outdoor terrasse for the bar. This seems a waste to me. Anyhow all the rest is really fantastic with its own beaches and several swimming pools. I congratulate the creators/managers for such a fantastic hotel.

Our only regret was staying just 4 nights !! What a fantastic hotel. Beautiful gardens at the front of the hotel and private beach and numerous swimming pools to the rear. Plenty of sunbeds around the pool areas most with views to the sea. Some reviews mentioned old furniture??? I would just say the rooms are decorated in traditional style...all in perfect condition. The reception, lounge area and drinks terrace...really really nice and relaxing.
Excellent cocktails!!
The restaurant served an excellent 4 course dinner in the evening.
We has a partial seaview (room 424) but honestly one of the best sea views I have had in a hotel..perfect view of sunset in the evening.
But the thing that really makes this hotel stand out is the service...in my opinion 5 star!! I have never known such amazing service in a hotel..both at breakfast and dinner..and I've travelled a lot and in some excellent hotels and I'm really fussy!!The staff are so friendly and professional we could not believe it.
Ignore any bad reviews
Any negatives?? Only that fresh juice at breakfast would make it perfect and a light in the walk in wardrobes in the bedrooms would be helpful..cant think of anything else..we will be going ASAP..enjoy!!!
