There is plenty of diverse things to do on this amazing island.
- If you fancy lazing on a tropical beach, but do not want a long haul flight. Sardinia offers the best beaches outside of the Caribbean.
- There are some fantastic beach bars, beach clubs and restaurants to suit all pockets. Sections of a couple of local beaches are set aside for sophisticated beach ‘lounging’ with fine dining, day beds, sofas (yes, sofas) massage and Jacuzzi actually on the beach.

- From June to September why not experience the ultimate evening ‘chill out’ partake in Maria’s Pilates class on the local sandy beach while the sun sets against the back drop of Isola Tavolara.
- Alternatively for more energetic, Maria does Aqua Gym classes on the local beach.
- For shopoholics you will not be disappointed with chic designer boutiques, rubbing shoulders with more traditional shops and weekly markets selling local handicrafts, linen, cork and coral and filigree jewelry.
- For those who enjoy people watching, you can not beat the summer months in Porto Cervo and Porto Rotondo. The Costa Smeralda is the next stop after St Tropez and is a magnet for the rich and famous.
- Finally not to be missed is the eclectic market in the artists village of San Panteleo. Where the fusion of Latin cultures meets the eccentricity of musicians, artists and the glitterati, all set in the magical mountains behind the Costa Smeralda.
