Sardinia

Our Sardinia section takes you to the second largest island in the Mediterranean, just south of Corsica. Sardinia is best known for its beaches: pink granite coves on the Costa Smeralda and in the La Maddalena archipelago, white pebble coves under the cliffs of the Gulf of Orosei, turquoise lagoons in the north-west and the south, and wild dunes on the Costa Verde.


We share practical tips to enjoy the island: which beaches need a reservation, where to park, when to go and how to pick the right beach depending on the wind.
