North Sardinia Holidays

Get to know Italy’s natural landscapes as you explore the lakes, forests, and rugged coastlines. You’ll find plenty of opportunities to hike or mountain bike during your holiday in North Sardinia.

For markets teeming with excellent handmade Italian goods, head to the town of Badesi. It’s ideal for a morning trip, before you spend the afternoon on the white sands of Badesi Mare Beach.

For even more beautiful beaches, head to Stintino, which juts out from the northwest of Sardinia. This is the place to book a boat trip across to the nature reserve in Asinara, which is well worth a visit. If you feel like delving into culture, then there are castles and archaeological sites dating back to the medieval period.

You can tuck into the most incredible cuisine in North Sardinia! The island’s fishing heritage delivers exquisite seafood to tables with views. Plenty of local dishes feature fresh produce from the island’s farms, while the emerald vineyards produce some truly spectacular bottles of wine.
