Sardinia

open Image Gallery

A verdant jewel set in an azure sea, Sardinia is a Mediterranean island with an almost tropical feel. Seemingly endless pink and white beaches lapped by translucent waters (amongst the clearest in the med), make it a haven for sun worshippers and watersports enthusiasts.

Part of Italy, yet with its own language and passionately held customs and culture, Sardinia offers a landscape with beauty and surprises at every turn. From huge flocks of pink flamingos, fertile mountainsides swathed with sweetsmelling herbs and shrubs, to the busy port of Villasimus with its winding boutique lined streets. This island is the Mediterranean you thought had disappeared.

The Roman Baths at Nora

This fascinating archaeological find features the remains of a Roman site, where these earlier inhabitants used the natural hot springs to create Roman baths.

The Nuraghi Stones at Chia

This unspoilt area is justly famous for its lovely beaches and rolling dunes alone, yet it is also where you will find many stones, remnants of the prehistoric civilisation that once lived on Sardinia.

Porto Cervo

Sardinia is a favourite playground of the rich and famous, and nowhere will you find them more in evidence than at Porto Cervo with its stunning yacht club, marina and myriad designer boutiques.
