  • Northern Sardinia

    With the resort of Porto Cervo, one of the most famous meeting places for Mediterranean jet setters, the northern coast of Sardinia has won a solid reputation as a holiday resort for wealthy travellers. It is true, perhaps, that the island does not have as spectacular and diverse a landscape as Corsica, nevertheless, it does have a beautiful coastline which has nothing to envy of the Corsican coastline and, in particular, it also has a plethora of high-end hotel infrastructures. The latter are mainly concentrated in the northeast, and the majority of the resorts in that part of the island stretches from Santa Maria di Gallura in Olbia (the main city of arrival). The rather rugged coast fails to offer great beaches but it does offer a considerable number of beautiful bays and coves of white sand and turquoise water. From the port of Palau, 25 miles north of Olbia, you can easily get on board a ferry with your car and explore the islands of Madeleine and Caprera. These islands offer a couple of square miles of beautiful beaches and a welcoming atmosphere: the two main things which characterise Sardinia.

Destination overview

Sardinia used to be called Ichnusa by the Greeks, meaning 'footprint' because of the shape of the island. It later became 'Sardinia' when the Italians moved in. Located south of Corsica, Sardinia is an Italian region divided into 4 provinces (Cagliari, Nuoro, Oristano and Sassari). All of these places abound with lovely scenery and wild nature: turquoise waters, steep coasts, granite rocks, vast dunes... Sardinia not only offers rest and tranquility, but it has also become a first choice for jetsetters due to its lively night life. Sardinia is ideal for those looking to enjoy a Mediterranean lifestyle, where having a siesta is sacred!

pros

  •  Wild nature.
  •  The Costa Smeralda creeks.

cons

  •  Expensive accommodation.

Our Editorial team's advice

The tip of the southwest of Sardinia is one of the loveliest places on the island where the cliffs slope down sharply into the sea, forming an absolutely fabulous display at sunset. To avoid missing out on this splendid panorama, plan to go to Sant'Antioco coast opposite the San Pedro island at the end of the day.
