Baglioni Resort Sardinia

To feast on Sardinian fare is to truly get under the skin of this island – where elegant simplicity meets rich heritage, and bold, honest flavours have captured hearts (and palates) the world over. The headline act is Gusto by Sadler, where Michelin-starred magic meets local ingredients for a result that’s not just a meal, but an all-out experience.

Mirto, meanwhile, takes its cues from Mediterranean classics, with a wine list expertly curated for pitch-perfect pairings. The rooftop terrace is tailor-made for aperitivo hour – Aperol Spritz in hand, eyes turned toward the sea – while the poolside bar serves sun-soaked snacks best paired with a padded lounger and this summer’s must-read.

Wellbeing comes naturally here – as if carried on the sea breeze. The spa offers a gentle invitation to slow down, chill out, and recharge. Treatments are rooted in the landscape – think Sardinian botanicals and Mediterranean calm you’ll wish you could smuggle home in your suitcase. Expect locally infused oils, sea salt scrubs, and soothing massages that lift the weight right off your shoulders.

Prefer to get your pulse going? The gym is light-filled and airy, making that morning workout feel just a little more appealing. But if you’re less about cardio and more about easing into the day, opt for sunrise yoga, coastal walks, or a well-earned dip in the pool.

Whether you're drawn to salty sea spray or sun-dappled trails, this is a place where experiences are crafted with care – and just the right amount of spontaneity.

Kayak along the coastline, slipping into hidden coves where the sea meets silence, or lace up your boots for a trek through Sardinia’s wild heart, where postcard-worthy views demand a pause. The highlight? A guided climb to Punta Cannone on neighbouring Tavolara Island, complete with a well-earned aperitif at the summit – and, on a clear day, a glimpse of Corsica.

Prefer to stay grounded? Join a cookery class to master Sardinian staples, or taste your way through the region’s sun-soaked vineyards with a sommelier-led tasting. However you choose to explore, the magic here is quiet, effortless, and entirely your own.
