Life’s a beach

You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to Sardinia’s beaches. There are hundreds of them, taking on various guises. Hidden coves, sweeping bays, enormous dunes, flamingo-dotted lagoons – it’s got the lot. Many are wild, unspoilt numbers where you can pitch up for the day, others come with canopied sunbeds and glitzy beach clubs. To tick off as many as you can, make use of the island’s water taxis and go cove hopping.

Foodie paradise

Italy’s outstanding reputation for food and drink isn’t just saved for the mainland – Sardinia’s cuisine is just as superb. Whether you’re dining on a sea view terrace or vine-wrapped veranda, expect to tuck into island classics like roast suckling pig and seafood pasta, paired with vermentino, a homegrown aromatic white wine. After something light? Look out for woodfired bread topped with tangy pecorino cheese.

All about the outdoors

Tear yourself away from the beach for a moment and you’ll find this island’s blessed with more epic natural beauty. Sardinia counts dramatic canyons, captivating caves, rocky outcrops and secret islands among its prized sights. The breathtaking La Maddalena Archipelago National Park is a must for snorkelling, while Baia Sardinia’s the place for water sports fans. Love hiking? Boulder-strewn Capo Testa promises swoonworthy sea views.

Beaches

Showstopping, sandy, serene – it’s hard to do Sardinia’s spectacular beaches justice. If you’re craving a piece of paradise just a few hours from the UK, this is where you’ll find it. Each one flaunts the island’s naturally beautiful features (soft white sands and cobalt-blue waters) but vary from secret coves and teeny patches to dreamy bays and mile-long sweeps.

Eating and drinking (beaches)

Sardinia’s cuisine will leave an impression on you. How can you forget warm evenings sharing seafood antipasti in bustling piazzas or feeling the coastal breeze on your face as you eat lemony pasta by the water? And those welcoming rustic farmsteads where you tried delicious suckling pig? Homemade limoncello and island-grown wine top off the whole experience.

Shopping (beaches)

Save space in your suitcase for some island-made souvenirs! Lots of the local shops sell slabs of pecorino, tins of olive oil and bottles of wine and liqueurs so can enjoy a taste of Sardinia when you get home. High-end boutiques can be found in Porto Cervo if you’re after designer threads and there are also weekly markets in some of the bigger towns for jewellery, bags and produce.

Nightlife

The island’s nightlife differs in style depending on which part you’re visiting. Bouncing bars and late-night clubs can be found in San Teodoro, while Baia Sardinia’s got by-the-sand spots and fun-loving waterfront restaurants. If it’s swanky cocktails you’re after, then set your sights on glitzy Porto Cervo.
