Why go?

If you’ve done Italy to death but not yet visited the island of Sardinia, what’s taken you so long? With the same tradition of wonderful food, great wines and the bella vita as the mainland, Sardinia also boasts a glorious unspoilt coastline with some of the most beautiful beaches in the Med. Favoured by the likes of George Clooney, Sir Elton John and Bradley Cooper, this exclusive destination is a celeb-spotter’s paradise. What’s more, you can discover the crystalclear waters and white sandy beaches without having to put up with the inconvenience of a long haul-flight.

What to do... The perfect way to experience Sardinia is by boat. Book a mini island tour or mini cruise and enjoy exploring private bays and invigorating swims around some of the lesser known corners of the fabulous islands in North Sardinia – where it’s not unusual to see celebs on-board their yachts.
