Which Part of Sardinia Is Best for Your Holiday?

Which Part of Sardinia Is Right for You?

Sardinia may be one island, but its different regions offer wonderfully different holiday experiences. From the glamour of the Costa Smeralda and the character of the north west to the beautiful beaches and relaxed atmosphere of the south, choosing which part of Sardinia is right for you can make all the difference to your holiday.

With so much choice, deciding where to stay can feel overwhelming, but that’s where our Sardinia expertise comes in. With over 25 years specialising in Sardinia, we can help you find the area and accommodation that best suit the kind of holiday you’re looking for.

Why the Region You Choose Really Matters

Are you after sophisticated beach life with excellent restaurants and a sense of occasion? Or would you rather find somewhere quieter, where the pace is slower and the landscape feels more rugged and unspoilt? Perhaps you are travelling with young children and need a destination where the whole family can settle in comfortably. Or maybe walking, cycling and getting into the countryside is more your thing:  Just Sardinia | Holiday Inspirations and Ideas in Sardinia

Sardinia genuinely offers all of these experiences, but some parts of the island are better suited to certain types of holiday than others. Choosing the right base from the start means you can spend your holiday doing what you love, rather than wishing you were somewhere else on the island.

Questions Worth Asking Before You Book

Before you start looking at accommodation, it is worth thinking through a few things:

  • Who is going? A couple on a honeymoon has very different priorities to a family with young children, or a group of friends who want a mix of activity and relaxation.
  • How long are you going for? A shorter break might suit a base with plenty close to hand, while a longer stay gives you more time to explore a wider area.
  • What pace do you want? Would you prefer somewhere lively and sociable, or somewhere peaceful? Be honest about which one you are really looking for.
  • What matters most to you? Beautiful beaches, local culture, walking and nature, good food and nightlife, or a combination of several - knowing your priorities helps narrow things down quickly.
  • What is your budget? Some areas, such as the north east, are known for luxury holidays, so it helps to think about your budget early on.

Choices Across the Island

Without giving too much away before we speak to you, Sardinia's regions each have their own personality. The north east is associated with glamour, spectacular turquoise water and a lively resort scene - well suited to couples, luxury seekers and those who enjoy sailing and boat trips. The north west offers a different side of Sardinia, combining beautiful beaches, fascinating history, dramatic scenery and charming towns. Other parts of the island have their own distinct appeal too, and the differences between them are real enough to make your choice worth thinking carefully about:  Best Sardinia Holiday Locations | Just Sardinia
