About Sardinia

If you’ve never been to Sardinia before, you’re in for a treat. The island has its own unique language, Sardo, which is as commonly spoken as Italian. Its architecture is also quite different to the rest of Italy, with influences from the Phoenicians, Vandals and Byzantines, as well as the Spanish Catalans who colonised Alghero for hundreds of years. The town’s street signs are still written in Catalan and the design of the cathedral shouts about its Catalan roots. But what really sets Sardinia apart are its beaches. The north coast alone is scalloped with 80 coves, and the Emerald Coast has Caribbean-like beaches that are some of the best-looking in Europe. The fishing village of Isola Rossa also boasts a stunning arc of sand, with gin-clear waters perfect for snorkelling. And of course, you can’t forget the delicious food and wine. Roast suckling pig and myrtle-stuffed wild boar are just some of the island’s cookbook-worthy dishes. So if you’re looking for a unique Mediterranean getaway, Sardinia is the place to go.
