Luxury Sardinia hotel with private beaches the perfect escape from UK

Sardinia itself is a stunning Italian island full of delights from white sand beaches with turquoise waters to dramatic mountainous landscapes.

- writes Isabella Boneham.

The Italian island is also known as one of the world's first identified Blue Zones, where people tend to live exceptionally long lives - and I can see why the way of life there is perfect.

My holiday to Sardinia was exceptional, staying at the Conrad Chia Laguna hotel. The hotel boasts stunning views of the ocean, and also has a lovely swimming pool where you can relax and also enjoy the stunning views.

You really feel like you are staying somewhere luxurious from the decor of the premises, to the cleanliness and spaciousness of the rooms. The bed was huge, there was an extra space with a TV and sofa, a large bathroom with a bath and shower, and a large garden space where you could walk out and enjoy the views of the ocean.

I dined at the hotel's main restaurant, called La Terrazza, on a half-board basis and the food was delicious. There was the option of a buffet but also food from the menu. There was even a chef in the morning who would cook up the most amazing omelettes! I thoroughly enjoyed having them every morning.
