Simply Sardinia

Simply Sardinia

The largest Italian island in the Mediterranean Sea, Sardinia combines Italian flavour with its own local customs, traditions and cuisine.

Our holiday to this lovely location offers all inclusive board;  a choice of swimming pools; animation and entertainment;  a great spa and wellness facilities and a setting that is ‘simply Sardinia’.   The resort also has Kids Clubs that make the most of the natural setting, with a good selection of activities.

To keep this holiday at an accessible price, we are offering a number of room options – see our accommodation page for more info.

Where we're staying

We’re heading to the fabulous Eastern province of Ogliastra for this holiday, in search of some of the best scenery Sardinia has to offer.This region is one of the most mountainous areas of the island and not as populated as other regions. Here you’ll find rivers, lakes and some of the most idyllic beaches on Sardinia.   The mountains provide the perfect backdrop to the crystal-clear blue seas as the coastline alternates between rocky cliffs and hidden coves of white sand.

Traditions and culture are still important across Sardinia and can be found in the towns and villages in Ogliastra. The cuisine is slightly different to mainland Italian dishes and we recommend you sample some of the delights while in Sardinia. Traditional soap making is also popular as well as other local crafts.

We are staying in the town of Arbatax for our Simply Sardinia holiday. Here you can best see the distinctive red rocks of this area or take boat tours to  view the abundance of marine life or visit the prehistoric sites in nearby Tortoli. Although white sandy beaches are aplenty, Spiaggia del Golfetto, the beach at the gulf of Tortoli, is particularly beautiful.

Our resort has been renovated and enhanced with new facilities.  It is designed to ensure you relax and enjoy your holiday with a focus on wellbeing. Combining sea and land the resort is located on the coast in a large nature park full of Sardinian plants and animals. You’re surrounded by beautiful Sardinian flora and can see Giara horses, fallow deer, Sardinian donkeys , ostriches and birds as well as a number of other native species. To ensure you unwind in this peaceful and natural environment, there is also a Wellness Centre and Spa for adults and a kids club offering a good selection of activities.

Please note – this area is hilly and we do not recommend this holiday for anyone with mobility issues.
