Where to go to the beach in Sardinia?
Monday, August 30, 2021
Sardinian beaches
Sardinia and sea: two words linked by a double thread, like an indissoluble axiom. In the thoughts of many Italians, Sardinia represent sea and summer holidays par excellence!
If we would ask you to close your eyes and imagine Sardinia, pretty sure the vast majority of you would see an iconic white beach, washed by a crystalline sea, with incredible transparencies and a thousand shades of blue.
Which destination best represents your idea of Sardinia? If you had to advise someone where to go to the beach in Sardinia, which location would you suggest?
We at Sardinia Unlimited did 30 seconds of brainstorming.
From north to south, in a quick review of the most beautiful beaches of the Sardinian coasts, we have listed: il Poetto, Cala Coticcio, Cala Luna, Porto Giunco, Tuerredda, Is Arutas, Le Bombarde, Capriccioli, Dune di Piscinas, Cala Sinzias, Porto Pino, Spiaggia del Principe, Cala Brandinchi, Bosa Marina, Isola dei Gabbiani, Spiaggia del Pevero, Spiaggia Rosa di Budelli, La Pelosa, Cala Mariolu, Platamona, Le Vasche, Rena Bianca, Spiaggia del Dottore, Cannesisa, La Celvia… to name just a few of the spots that still echo in the room, which we have visited in recent years.
But let's try to do some order.
The best thing, in our opinion, given the vastness of the island, is to divide it into four coastal areas. For each of them we will recommend at least one beach, among the less frequented, but still noteworthy... and not only.
We therefore divide Sardinia into four sectors. So that, depending on where you will spend your holidays, you can easily reach the suggested locations:
• North coast of Sardinia. Clockwise: from Alghero to San Teodoro;
• East coast of Sardinia. Clockwise: from the Island of San Pietro to Alghero;
• South coast of Sardinia. Counterclockwise: from the Island of San Pietro to Costa Rei;
• West coast of Sardinia. Counterclockwise: from Costa Rei to San Teodoro.

Luxury holiday homes in Northern Sardinia

3 magnificent holiday homes by the sea in Northern Sardinia
The beautiful sunny island Sardinia offers different and comfortable housing solutions, both for long- and short-term rental.
Among the structures for rent for short periods, the luxury holiday homes in Sardinia stand out above all. We are talking about medium-high level properties, with a high number of bedrooms and bathrooms, which usually are surrounded by well-kept and lush gardens, and solarium areas, made available to guests. They often have common features, such as having a designer swimming pool for exclusive use, and, often, a private and direct access to the sea.
Magnificent luxury villas in Sardinia are present in all well-known tourist resorts, both in the north and south of the island. It is in fact possible to rent exclusive villas in the most glamorous and fashionable villages of the Costa Smeralda, a fancy destination for the international jet set, but also in the sparkling and youthful San Teodoro, in the wonderful and cultural Alghero, and in the pearls of south Sardinia such as Villasimius and Chia. These are just a few of the most popular spots on the island, visited by tourists from all over the world.
Most of the Sardinian luxury holiday homes are located in the northeastern quadrant, the area between Baja Sardinia, Porto Cervo, Porto Rotondo, and Capo Coda Cavallo. Possibly, due to the aura of exclusivity that surrounds these renowned locations.
If you have decided to spend your holidays in this corner of paradise, we suggest you renting a property surrounded by the evergreen Mediterranean vegetation, which guarantees privacy and confidentiality even to the most elegant holiday homes in northern Sardinia.
Among the villas for rent in northern Sardinia, we point out three, selected directly from our portfolio:
1. Villa Lara D’Oriente
2. Villa Brandinchi
3. Villa Il Rifugio degli Architetti

Catamaran Holiday in Sardinia
Monday, August 16, 2021
Catamaran Holiday. Here are our tips!
Do you want a summer holiday in Sardinia but without the packed beaches? Does lounging on deck with a gentle sea-breeze blowing across your face sound like the ideal way to recharge? What about exploring stunning coves with sparkling crystal-clear water along the Sardinian coast during the day? Climb aboard for few days or a week (or two!) on a catamaran cruise - it could be just the way to spend your summer holiday in Sardinia.
Why choose a catamaran for your next sea holiday? If the idea of waking up to the sounds of the sea lapping against the sides of the boat isn’t enough to convince you, there are some practical reasons to choose this type of sailing holiday. This type of boat has two hulls (compared to one hull of the traditional monohull sailboat), which makes it more spacious and comfortable for a longer holiday.
The stability offered by a catamaran makes it ideal for families with younger children or older members, or anyone looking for the most relaxing way to spend time on the water under sail. More living space below deck in the cabins, private bathrooms, galley and salon area allow for more privacy and personal space, something that can’t be said about the average monohull.
Storage space also gives you the option of bringing other gear on board to use during your holiday at sea - activities like exploring the coast on a SUP, scuba-diving to discover the incredible underwater world and kitesurfing on a breezy afternoon are excellent ways to get exercise while on board. Masks, snorkels and fins are always a must! All of this adrenaline-inducing activity will give you an appetite for an aperitif with delicious local Sardinian wine and cuisine.
Up on deck, at the bow, the two hulls are often connected by a hammock or trampoline which is possibly the best place in the world to spend a summer afternoon sunbathing with a good book.
Ample deck space also lends itself nicely to sunrise or sunset yoga sessions.

5 Villas for an unforgettable holiday in Costa Paradiso

Discover Costa Paradiso starting from these 5 Villas in Sardinia
Those who have been to northern Sardinia probably drove in front of the “Costa Paradiso” sign, on the road that connects Santa Teresa di Gallura to Isola Rossa. But how many, during their beach holidays, have visited this destination, taking the road that leads over the hill?
Costa Paradiso is an amazing destination of northern Sardinia. Probably less known and glamorous than other Gallura and Costa Smeralda destinations, such as Porto Cervo, Baja Sardinia or Porto Rotondo, but certainly no less fascinating.
For some regulars, Costa Paradiso simply is the most beautiful place in the world!
Those who took the road to the village of Costa Paradiso were probably struck by the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
The small town is a real naturalistic pearl, one of a kind in Sardinia and beyond. The aromatic Mediterranean scrub covers various rock formations with incredible shapes: pink granites, shaped over the centuries by the constant erosion of the elements. In particular, the mistral wind can blow imperiously in these region. This continuous action has sculpted the coast, so much so that the rocks, which at sunset take on an intense pink color, have assumed anthropomorphic, animalesque and various objects form.
A similar setting, which offers unique suggestions and emotions, especially at sunset, can be admired in a few other magical places in Sardinia, for example at Capo Testa, Aggius and San Pantaleo, where once again granite is king.
To complete this wild nature, there are some delightful beaches, set in the rocks. They can only be reached through walkable paths, of timeless beauty: Li Cossi beach, surrounded by green vegetation and enclosed by granite like a gem, stands out above all.
In this natural and wild context, there are several houses that can be rented for holidays, villas with pools and luxury villas, built following rigorous stylistic dictates in order to harmoniously adapt to the surrounding environment.
We at Sardinia Unlimited are pleased to manage various holiday houses and villas for rent, some of which having private swimming pools and an enchanting sea view, especially during sunset in the north coast.
In order to discover this locality, a real hidden Eden Valley, we suggest you book one of the best villas in the area, from which you can easily discover Costa Paradiso and its surroundings.

21 days Tour with Sardinia villa rental
Do you feel like it’s about time to disconnect from work and everyday life to get a vitality recharge? In this case, follow our advice for an itinerary in the north of the island with villas for rent in Sardinia, to fill up on positive energy and enjoy a unique sensorial experience. Given the vastness of the island and the many attractions, we have drawn several itineraries, to include as many points of interest as possible and to avoid turning your holiday into a hectic rush. Keywords: relax and discovery.
If you do not yet know Sardinia, it’s the right time to plan your sweet escape. If you have already been on the island, you surely appreciated how it looks like a mini continent, which fascinates and enchants in an ancient way. Countless visitors say they have established a special bond with the island and its proud inhabitants, feeling the need to return to explore it more in depth. Sardinia has a territory of about 24,000 km² (9,270 square miles) and 1,900 km (1,180 miles) of coastline, bathed by crystal clear water with incredible colors, that have nothing to envy the atolls of the Pacific! Wild coasts and pristine strips alternate with long white sandy beaches, hidden coves and rocky ravines, sometimes giving way to imposing cliffs overlooking the sea. In the most inaccessible and secluded stretches, the landscape is dominated by imposing walls of rock, patiently sculpted by wind and water.
The Sardinian countryside also constitutes a world to be discovered, where flat areas of crops and pasture follow gentle hill slopes and native vineyards, as well as rugged mountain areas, appreciated by hikers and climbers. Vegetation and fauna also change abruptly, seconding the alternation of mountain and coastal areas. It is possible to travel kilometers without ever meeting anyone, nor seeing inhabited centers. Those are peculiar landscapes, where the aromatic scents of the Mediterranean scrub dominate. Along the way, the view is interrupted only by the iconic shapes of mighty stone buildings dating back to the Bronze Age: the mysterious “nuraghe”.
