Honeymoon in Sardinia: Most romantic places

Kilometers of unspoilt beaches, crystal-clear sea and a typically Mediterranean landscape: these are the ingredients that make Sardinia unique, the ideal background for your romantic honeymoon. Immersed in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, the island is easily accessible from the main Italian and European cities, but you will immediately feel as if you have been thrown into an exotic paradise.

Whether you like glamorous and classy settings such as the elegant Porto Cervo, or savage and unexplored nature such as Tavolara Island, the thousand facets of this land can fascinate every kind of traveler. In this guide, we will try to suggest what we think are the best places to honeymoon in Sardinia. Between reserved bays and dreamlike panoramas, are you ready to experience an unforgettable honeymoon?

We start with the famous Costa Smeralda, founded in 1962 by Prince Karim Aga Khan IV. Landing on the island, his majesty instantly fell in love with a paradise that was practically unknown but would soon become an attraction for millions of tourists from all over the world. One of the must-see places in this area is Porto Cervo, with its promenade and luxurious boutiques. Here, the typical architecture of Gallura blends with contemporary sculptures and design, in a fusion of tradition and modernity. Or Cala di Volpe, whose private marina became the set of the James Bond film '007 - The Spy Who Loved Me'. 

A few kilometers southwards is the village of San Teodoro, surrounded by sandy beaches and a breathtaking sea. The characteristic fishing village overlooks the enchanting Protected Marine Area of Tavolara, whose namesake island is only accessible by sea. What could be more romantic than a Tavolara boat trip, perhaps at sunset? Contact us to find out more! Moreover, the Gallurese village is well known for its lively nightlife, thanks to the numerous bars and pubs that enliven the evenings of thousands of holidaymakers from aperitif time until late at night.

A must for your honeymoon in Sardinia is the La Maddalena Archipelago, one of the most fascinating national parks, a true pearl of nature. We are talking about a complex of about 60 islands and islets and among them, the only inhabited one is in fact La Maddalena, which can be reached in just twenty minutes by ferry. The small sea town has an attractive allure, where craft markets and picturesque spots will take you back in time to an evocative atmosphere. If you are a history enthusiast, you cannot miss the nearby island of Caprera and its Compendio Garibaldino, the house museum where the Italian hero spent the last years of his life.

We all know that what makes the island a true paradise on earth is the presence of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean. That's why we have come up with a selection of villas with private swimming pools just a few steps away from the most beautiful beaches in Sardinia that will make you daydream.

If you decide to spend your honeymoon in Sardinia near the Costa Smeralda, you will be spoilt for choice: for example, the Spiaggia del Principe, white sand and waters that fade from turquoise to emerald green. The beautiful Marinella beach, whose fine, white sand sinks into a sparkling sea, is ideal for snorkeling. Here, you can stay in one of the villas for rent in Sardinia.

• Villa Il Rosso di Tramonto: in a private oasis in the Gallura region in Sardinia, this holiday villa for rent has a Jacuzzi and a breathtaking sea view.
• Villa Selene Blu: the villa's location combines the magic of an experience in contact with nature with the advantages deriving from its proximity to Olbia and the most beautiful beaches in Sardinia.

Or, if you prefer wilder nature, the area around San Teodoro is ideal for your romantic getaway. Just a few steps from there, you will find Spiaggia Isuledda, a cove so intimate and quiet that it feels like one of those exclusive private beaches - nothing could be more poetic. Alternatively, Spiaggia La Cinta consists of a tongue of fine white sand on one side and a beautiful sea on the other. So why not choose a villa for rent in San Teodoro?

• Villa Carula: comfortably furnished and finely decorated. Its private pool is perfect for your relaxing honeymoon.
• Villa Auriga: this colorful and exclusive villa in Sardinia is embellished by a veranda with a private pool that needs no further description. 
• Villa Salinedda: exposed beams and pastel colors are the leitmotifs of this little treasure just a few minutes' drive from San Teodoro's most beautiful beaches. A villa with a private pool surrounded by bright green lawns completes the house.

One of our island's most peculiar coastline stretches in Costa Paradiso, whose wind-smoothed rocks and green shrubs shape a path to Li Cossi beach. You will feel as if you are in a real canyon but with an incredible sea view. Our villas for rent in Costa Paradiso include: 

• Villa Il Saluto del Sole: the ideal if you are looking for some privacy and ample space. Its swimming pool overlooks the sea.
• Villa Albanella: this is one of the Sardinia villas by the sea that can provide you with suggestive sunsets from its panoramic terrace and moments of pure relaxation in its private pool.

Sardinia is a thousand-year-old land whose genuine and high-quality raw materials form the basis for tasty recipes from generation to generation. First of all, it is impossible to talk about Sardinia without thinking of the many varieties of fresh fish and seafood. The most famous recipe is that of fregola, a semolina pasta traditionally served with clams.

Not only seafood dishes. The island can offer tasty meat specialities, including the so-called malloreddus alla campidanese, or the famous 'maialetto' (roast suckling pig). Finally, the Sardinian dessert par excellence: the 'seada', a sheet of fried dough enclosing a heart of stringy pecorino cheese, all accompanied by a honey waterfall, exclusively made in Sardinia.

Our mouths are already watering! How about organising a typical Sardinian dinner by candlelight, prepared by a private chef at your complete disposal and with some good local wine? Email us for more information.
