Sardinia is a stunning island, rimmed with soft, sandy beaches, yet with a wild and rugged interior ordered in places into vineyards and olive groves. It’s a bit like a tiny country, complete with interesting centres that vary in size, and an excellent range of accommodation options. When it comes to luxury hotels and resorts, there are some notable clusters; if you’re looking for a luxurious beach hotel or resort, start looking on the north east coastline, around Olbia; or on the southern coast, around Santa Margherita di Pula, where there are several gorgeously long stretches of white, sandy beach. If you’re looking for something small, luxurious, and peaceful — maybe even adults-only — look on the rockier west coast, or consider converted estates in the hills. If you’ve chosen Sardinia for its history and culture, as well as its beaches, try elegant Oristano, which is known for its galleries, restaurants, boutiques and boutique hotels, or Caligari and Bosa with their incredible Medieval architecture. Peruse our pick of the best luxury hotels in Sardinia and start planning your special getaway.
