Destination

Sardinia, Italy

Closer to Africa than to mainland Italy, Sardinia exudes a tropical air, with its crystal-clear turquoise waters and powdery white sand beaches. The sea is ever-present – weaving through hidden coves, hugging dramatic coastlines, and embracing some of the Mediterranean’s finest beach resorts.

Venture inland and the landscape transforms into a vibrant patchwork of forested peaks, citrus-filled valleys, and rolling pastures dotted with grazing sheep and cattle. On the island’s west coast, the medieval town of Bosa enchants with its pastel pink and golden-hued buildings lining the river. In the north, Alghero reveals its unique Catalan heritage – still spoken by locals – within its charming old town. Meanwhile, the lively southern town of Iglesias carries echoes of its Spanish past in both spirit and architecture.

Sardinia also delights at the table. Expect robust, rustic pastas, bold local cheeses, and distinctive wines that reflect the island’s strong and independent character.
