Best for exploring

Go wine tasting at one of the local wineries – Try the ruby-red Capo Ferrato wine, produced locally in Villasimius, with a typically Sardinian dish like fried gianchettus, which are tiny fish.

Neptune’s Grotto – In Sardinia’s protected Capo Caccia is one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful and best-known natural beauty spots – the incredible network of ancient caves that make up Grotta di Nettuno (Neptune’s Grotto).

Petra Segreta – Hidden away in the hills south of Porto Cervo, Petra Segreta is an oasis of luxury and peace waiting to spoil you with the highest level of indulgence. Try one of their spa packages, it’s the perfect place to escape the crowds and unwind.

Sardinia essential visit

Cala Goloritzè – Created by a landslide in 1962,  Cala Goloritzè Beach in Sardinia’s Baunei region is now renowned for its unique beauty and fascinating rock formations. Limestone rocks cluster at either end of the beach and the contrast between their craggy surfaces and the clear blue sea provides a postcard-worthy scene.

Best for Beaches

Oasi of Biderosa – This is one of the best beaches in Sardinia not only because of its white and soft sand and the crystal clear emerald sea but especially thanks to its unspoiled nature and the restricted number of people who are allowed to enter each day.

Cala Brandinchi – Also known as ‘Tahiti’, is stunning. You will feel like you are in Polynesia there: the white sand is in sharp contrast with the turquoise blue of the water, studded with darker reflections where the rocks emerge.

Spiaggia del Principe – This is considered one of the best beaches in Costa Smeralda, and definitely one of the best beaches in Sardinia (not to mention, this is thought to be one of the 20 most beautiful beaches in the world).

When to Visit

Sardinia is a year-round destination but the most popular time to visit is summer when it can reach 30°C. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit if you prefer cooler days and tend to be less busy. The island’s much more serene without the summer crowd intensity and the day-to-day temperatures are still hot.

Getting Here

You can get to Sardinia by boat or by air. The main airport is Olbia Coast Smeralda Airport.

Hiring a car is recommended if you want to explore the delights of this incredible region. Please do ask our team if you would like a luxury vehicle delivered to your private Sardinia villa on arrival.
