Dreamy setting on the Sardinian coast
You could hardly ask for a better setting than the one on offer at Tirreno Resort. Enclosed in a thicket of luscious greenery, just steps from a sheltered inlet that’s home to a patch of soft, golden sand, this location is just a little bit dreamy. And did we mention you’ll have your own pair of sunbeds on the beach for the duration of your stay?
Rooms are spread across smaller, cosy buildings that are scattered across the gardens, and feel totally sympathetic to the surroundings. All paths lead back to the heart of the hotel, where you’ll find a lovely, spacious pool that feels tailor-made for long, sun-drenched days doing blissfully little. There’s a swim spot set aside for tots, too, with a pirate ship to help them make a splash, while back on dry land there are four clubs that cover off everyone aged from 3 to 17 with a range of activities like sports, dance, and lots more.
That’s the kids sorted but what about fun for all ages? A handful of multi-sports courts make it easy to get stuck into the likes of tennis, football, or basketball, plus there’s a daily roster of organised activities, too. Think bocce, aerobics, and aqua fitness. Or, if you fancy exploring your surroundings, why not rent bikes from reception and see what hidden gems are waiting to be discovered nearby? And if after all that you need to unwind, look no further than the wellness area, where you can indulge in a tranquil massage.
Once you’ve worked up an appetite, check out the generous spread that’s on offer at the main buffet restaurant at mealtimes. Alongside a choice of Mediterranean and international fare, you’ll be treated to a couple of themed dinners per week. Then there’s an à la carte spot overlooking the beach that’s open for lunch and dinner, serving a mix of Sardinian specialties. Finally, a pair of watering holes – one by the pool and one pitched up inside – ensure everything from cocktails to coffees are well in-hand.

Find out more about Orosei
In the foothills of the Supramonte mountains on Sardinia’s rugged east coast lies the photogenic medieval town of Orosei – one of the island’s most beguiling destinations, replete with ornate churches, cosy piazzas and cobbled streets lined with traditional stone houses. Venture beyond the town itself, and you’ll quickly be immersed in some of the most spectacular nature Sardinia has to offer.
Here, in the coastal section of the Parco Nazionale del Golfo di Orosei e del Gennargentu (Sardinia’s largest national park), is an array of pristine beaches and hidden coves fringed by oak, juniper and eucalyptus forests and towering limestone cliffs. It’s an ideal place for swimming, snorkelling, canoeing, or simply basking in the sunshine and taking in the idyllic scenery.
As well as the abundance of gorgeous beaches nearby, Orosei is a gateway to many fantastic hiking trails, particularly in the area around Mount Tiscali, the Lanaitho Valley and Gola di Gorropu, which is home to a vast array of wildlife, awe-inspiring chasms, and even the remains of an ancient village dating back to the Nuragic civilization. Just to the south, meanwhile, is the Grotta del Bue Marino – a hauntingly beautiful cave that’s only accessible by boat, and well worth visiting on a day trip.
If you’re drawn to the idea of staying somewhere that’s a little off the beaten track, steeped in history and surrounded by wild, unspoilt nature, Orosei should certainly be on your travel radar.
