Discover Sardinia: A Journey Through Sea, Culture, and Nature

Sardinia, a remarkable Italian island at the heart of the Mediterranean, is famed for its almost 2,000 kilometres of coastline, golden sandy shores, and a mountainous interior threaded with panoramic walking routes. This varied terrain is dotted with thousands of nuraghi, distinctive Bronze Age stone towers that speak of the island’s earliest civilisations. Celebrated worldwide for its clear waters and spectacular beaches, Sardinia is a place of contrasts, where untamed nature sits alongside age old traditions.

A Journey Through History

Over the centuries, Sardinia has been an important meeting point of cultures. The Nuragic civilisation of the Bronze Age left an extraordinary heritage, with around 8,000 nuraghi still scattered across the island. Su Nuraxi di Barumini, the best known of these monuments, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. From the 9th century onwards, Sardinia was divided into four independent realms known as the Giudicati, which with support from the Maritime Republics of Pisa and Genoa resisted repeated attempts at conquest. Later, the creation of the Kingdom of Sardinia by Pope Boniface VIII marked the beginning of a new era, eventually leading to the rule of the Habsburgs and the House of Savoy, and finally to inclusion in the Kingdom of Italy in 1861.

A Land Rich in Contrasts

Sardinia is wonderfully varied, with each area offering its own distinctive character and experiences.

• Ogliastra: This region is prized for its unspoilt scenery and striking coastline, with famous beaches such as Cala Goloritzé and Cala Luna, perfect for sea lovers and keen walkers. Local heritage thrives in events like the Festival dei Tenores, where groups perform traditional polyphonic singing recognised by UNESCO. The archaeological site of Tiscali, a mysterious Nuragic settlement hidden in the mountains, is well worth a visit.

The Sardinian Coast: A Paradise of Natural Beauty

Sardinia’s coastline is exceptionally diverse, forming a remarkable patchwork of natural landscapes. Towering cliffs, sheltered coves, and long sandy beaches create ever changing scenery, ensuring that every visit feels different. With 1,897 kilometres of shoreline, the island offers an extraordinary choice of beaches, each with its own appeal. Here are some of the most celebrated, arranged by area.

• North East: The Costa Smeralda

  In the north east, the celebrated Costa Smeralda boasts superb beaches such as Liscia Ruja, admired for its pale sand and sparkling turquoise sea. Close by, Capriccioli Beach, with its small coves and lovely views, is ideal for those in search of peace. Porto Cervo Beach, a well known exclusive location, is distinguished by its elegant setting and clear waters. Romazzino Beach, with its sweeping outlook and refined atmosphere, is another highlight along this famous coast.

• Northwest: Wild and Unspoilt Beaches

  The north west is characterised by wild scenery and largely untouched beaches. Stintino Beach, with its vivid turquoise waters and fine white sand, is often listed among the most beautiful on the island. La Pelosa Beach, noted for its shallow sea and striking colours, is especially suited to families. Backed by dunes and Mediterranean scrub, Le Saline Beach offers a peaceful and atmospheric spot for a day by the sea.








• West: A Natural Paradise

  The west coast is a haven for lovers of the outdoors. Is Arutas Beach is famous for its unusual white quartz pebbles and clear water. Mari Ermi Beach, with its changing shades of blue and green, impresses with its untamed setting. Putzu Idu Beach, with shallow and generally calm waters, is well suited to families. S'Archittu Beach, known for its striking natural arch and dramatic cliffs, provides superb coastal views.

• South: Dunes and Turquoise Sea

  In the south, Chia Beach is widely admired for its golden sand dunes and brilliant turquoise sea. Tuerredda Beach, often described as one of the finest in Italy, delights visitors with its pristine landscape and clear waters. Su Giudeu Beach, with calm, transparent shallows, is another excellent choice for a peaceful day by the sea. Porto Pino Beach, celebrated for its dunes and bright, shallow waters, feels like a secluded slice of paradise.

• East: Natural Beauty and Spectacular Scenery

  The east coast presents a striking combination of natural beauty and dramatic landscapes. Cala Luna Beach, known for its caves and remarkable scenery, can be reached by boat or on foot along scenic paths. Cala Goloritzé Beach, framed by limestone cliffs and clear water, is especially popular with keen walkers and nature enthusiasts (it was named the most beautiful beach in the world in the 2025 edition of “The World’s 50 Best Beaches”). Often nicknamed “Little Tahiti”, Cala Brandinchi Beach is a favourite with families and sun seekers. In San Teodoro, La Cinta Beach offers shallow turquoise waters and fine sand, ideal for a relaxed day out. Berchida Beach, meanwhile, is among the quietest stretches of coast, perfect for those seeking peace and natural surroundings.

Not just the sea: a journey through history, culture, and gastronomy in Sardinia

Sardinia offers far more than a traditional beach holiday. The island holds a wealth of historical and cultural sites that reveal the richness of its past.

Nuraghi, Menhirs, Giants' Tombs, and Sacred Wells

Among the most impressive are the Nuragic villages, including Su Nuraxi di Barumini, celebrated for its remarkable megalithic design. Other significant nuraghi include Serra Orrios in Dorgali, valued for its size and state of preservation, and Santu Antine in Torralba, where traces of settlements from several eras remain. The Tombs of the Giants, such as Li Lolghi in Arzachena and S'Ena 'e Thomes in Dorgali, provide insight into Nuragic burial customs through their monumental stone structures. The sacred wells, for example Santa Cristina in Paulilatino, underline the spiritual role of water in Nuragic belief. Pranu Muttedu near Goni is noted for its concentration of menhirs, linked to ancient ritual activity, while dolmens like Sa Coveccada in Mores point to even earlier, Neolithic traditions. Evidence of later civilisations can also be seen: Phoenician settlements such as Monte Sirai in Carbonia and Sulci in Sant’Antioco reflect Mediterranean trade networks, while Roman influence survives in sites including the amphitheatre in Cagliari and villas in Olbia and Porto Torres. Exploring these places is a journey through the centuries and into the island’s cultural soul.

Gastronomy: a journey through the flavors of Sardinia

Sardinian cooking, shaped by centuries of tradition, varies from one area to another while maintaining strong historic roots. From coastal towns to inland villages, the island offers flavourful dishes made with fresh, local ingredients. Sardinia is well known for fine produce such as pecorino and fiore sardo cheeses, saffron, quality wines, and bottarga. Both restaurants and home kitchens preserve long standing recipes, from traditional breads to specialities like pane frattau and zuppa gallurese. Local pasta, whether dried or fresh, plays a leading role, while main courses range from hearty meat dishes such as roast suckling pig to delicate seafood preparations. Food festivals celebrating regional traditions and the island’s Wine Routes, where native grapes such as Vermentino and Cannonau can be discovered, offer memorable culinary experiences.

Outdoor activities: adventures in Sardinian nature

Sardinia is an excellent choice for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, with opportunities ranging from walking and climbing to birdwatching and discovering rural traditions. Mountain areas such as Gennargentu and Supramonte are crossed by scenic paths through impressive landscapes rich in distinctive flora and fauna. The well known Sentiero dei Gennargentu offers routes for different ability levels, with far reaching views across valleys and towards the sea. Birdwatchers can explore protected zones like Molentargius Park, where pink flamingos and numerous other species inhabit wetlands of high ecological value. The island is also a leading destination for rock climbing, thanks to sea cliffs in areas such as Cala Gonone and Baunei, where challenging routes are set against magnificent coastal backdrops.
