Laid-back Sardinian luxury is at the heart of this charming five-star hotel; constructed out of the traditional Sardinian red stone with exposed beams, dressed in a palette of cream and turquoise, this adults-only bolt-hole hits all the right notes without feeling flashy or ostentatious. Set in secluded, manicured gardens leading to the coast, Villa del Re feels like staying at a family friend's summer house rather than a luxury resort. Inside, winding stone staircases lead to cool and refreshing guestrooms, most with an outdoor patio or balcony. The best suites have sea views and a homely sitting room. Wind your way through the gardens to the azure swimming pool overlooking the sea, or carry on further to reach the beach itself. There are great activities on offer for guests off the coast, from windsurfing to sailing and kayaking - perfect for active guests. Daily boat excursions are also an option, plus on-land exploring in Sardinia. Whether you prefer to relax in the shade with a cocktail or see the local sights, the helpful and attentive staff will be happy to assist you.
