Sardinia

Sardinia’s famous Costa Smeralda, a 12-mile stretch of dreamy shoreline along the northeast, attracts travelers looking to immerse themselves in la dolce vita. And, with its white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, rugged coastline, ancient archaeological sites, and fascinating culture and traditions, who could blame them? The Mediterranean Island truly does have it all. The island — with its idyllic mountains and tranquil villages, giving way to bustling resort towns along its rocky coastline — offers an abundance of activities for every type of traveler and the island will leave a lasting impression on you.

The second-largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily, Sardinia serves up a lovely blend of sea, sand, and history. Thousands of nuraghe (ancient stone buildings) dot the landscape, proof that people have been enjoying the climate here for millennia. From posh Costa Smeralda in the north to medieval Alghero in the northwest to the lively capital of Cagliari in the south—and with many picturesque towns, dramatic granite cliffs, and unspoiled white-sand beaches between—Sardinia has a little something for everyone. Find the best spots with our recs below.

Sardinia is well-known as a paradise in the heart of the Mediterranean. Obviously, its sunny coasts and its white and sandy beaches are the main tourist attractions, but there is a endless list of places and facets to discover in Sardinia. We are talking about the most renowned towns and cities, the most characteristic islands and, of course, important sites of historical and cultural interest. In this short guide you will find some suggestions on what to see in Sardinia during your next holidays: 15 ideas that might tempt you and, perhaps, guide you in choosing your next destination. They are all ideal for a stay as a couple or for a family holiday in Sardinia, although some excursions might prove rather tiring for the tiny tots. 

Things to do in Sardinia

Asinara island

The uninhabited Asinara island — a ferry ride from Porto Torres or Stintino in the northwest — is famous for prisons and donkeys. Known as Italy’s Alcatraz, the island was a place of detention for captured soldiers during the Second World War, and later for criminals (including mafia members). Since 1997, though, it has been a national park, a popular place for hiking, cycling and enjoying weird and wonderful wildlife.

La Maddalena

A day trip to La Maddalena is a must. This archipelago and national park — made up of seven islands — offers some of the region’s best nature, hiking, diving and beaches. The “capital” of La Maddalena is your gateway, a half-hour ferry crossing from the port of Palau, and a graceful town with good restaurants and shops. From here, you can take boat trips to the more remote outcrops, including the wild coves of Spargi, and the famously pink-sanded beach of Spiaggia Rosa.

Cagliari

Cagliari is where most tourists arrive, but it shouldn’t be viewed simply as a springboard to places elsewhere. Sardinia’s capital deserves some time in its own right. The historical city centre is a great spot to stroll. The Castello quarter, a citadel set high above the sea, has narrow alleys, characterful medieval architecture and a pair of 14th-century watchtowers.
