Sardinia, a humble island, holds an abundance of beauty and mysteries yet to be unraveled. It remains underrated, offering an experience like stepping into a timeless realm with a unique atmosphere found nowhere else.
Polished by the waves of its rich history and heritage, Sardinia is adorned with 7,000 nuraghi, Bronze Age towers and settlements, tombe dei giganti (‘giant’s grave’ tombs), and domus de janas (‘fairy house’ tombs). Every country lane and every small hamlet with its 10 people and 100 sheep holds remnants of prehistory, waiting to be pieced together like a challenging jigsaw puzzle. Sardinia also boasts eccentric festivals, from Barbagia’s carnival parade featuring ghoulish mamuthones banishing winter demons to the death-defying S’Ardia horse race in Sedilo.
Recognized as a Blue Zone, Sardinia is home to people who, on average, live longer than the rest of us. With 1,849 km of beautiful coastline, the longest of any Italian region, the National Park of La Maddalena in North Sardinia showcases more than 60 islands of breathtaking beauty. The crystal-clear waters create an illusion of yachts and boats floating on air.
The Emerald Coast in North Sardinia is renowned for its landscape heritage, unique white sand beaches, deep coves nestled in the heart of the earth, crystalline seabeds, pink granite rocks sculpted by millennia of winds, and landscapes painted by yellow gorse and fragrant juniper. Celebrities from around the world, including Greta Garbo, Margaret of England, Gianni Agnelli, Jacqueline Kennedy, Madonna, Elton John, Juan Carlos, Harrison Ford, and Sting, have made Porto Cervo their holiday home. The Costa Smeralda’s allure lies in its mixture of discretion and exhibitionism, elegance and unconventionality, formality and extravagance, making it a captivating destination admired by all.
