Northern Sardinia: what to see
Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean, a gem waiting to be discovered, as vast as it is rich in history, culture and natural wonders. The island is one of the most sought after beach destinations in Italy thanks to the presence of one of the most beautiful coasts of the entire Peninsula and the Mare Nostrum as well as the marvellous seaside resorts in Sardinia which, due to the incomparable charm of the island’s beaches and crystal clear waters, attract millions of tourists every year.
The north of the island
Of all the places to visit, northern Sardinia is certainly among the most renowned, with its spectacular landscapes, enchanting beaches and cultural heritage. From Costa Smeralda to its charming seaside towns like Alghero, everything on the ‘island of flamingos’ has a story to tell and worth discovering.
What to see, then, in the north of Sardinia?
Costa Smeralda (Emerald Coast)
The absolute queen of luxury beach tourism in Sardinia and Italy is Costa Smeralda, legitimately titled as one of the island's hallmarks of top-end tourism. Its very heart and quintessence reside in Porto Cervo, the ideal location for a mix of enchanting beaches and dreamy sea and luxury and glamour.
What to see in the north-east of Sardinia: The Maddalena Archipelago and Golfo Aranci
A wonderful island in the north of Sardinia is La Maddalena, the main one of a group of smaller islands that are ideal for those seeking the true essence of natural beauty. The incredible waters of La Maddalena can be reached by ferry from Palau, from where you can also leave to visit Budelli, another island in the archipelago where you will be blown away by the unique beauty of its pink beach. Very close to the archipelago is another one of Sardinia’s stunning destinations, Golfo Aranci, whose white beaches and crystal-clear waters will leave you breathless, thanks also to its amazing accommodation facilities, which are perfectly integrated into the area, such as the VOI Colonna Village.
