Cala Sinzias Resort ★★★★

Quieter and wilder than the more touristy and glamorous north, southern Sardinia is just waiting to be explored. Its coastline brimming with stretches of fine white sandy beaches merging into crystal-clear Mediterranean waters, all with its rugged and dramatic mountainous backdrop. It's next to the stunning picture postcard Cala Sinzias beach, where the new four-star Cala Sinzias Resort can be found.

Although boasting all the excellent facilities one would expect from a new and modern resort, you'll be delighted by the careful architectural design that celebrates typical Etruscan villages with stone buildings working in harmony with the incredible natural landscape.

As soon as you arrive, you'll receive the warmest of welcomes from the resort's staff and quickly settle into your spacious, bright, airy room with its elegant contemporary décor. Then, sit out on your pretty furnished patio and smell the floral scents of the surrounding gardens or take the short, gentle stroll to the beach through the resort's grounds, following the pine tree-lined walkway.

Whether you choose to lounge on the beach or under the cool shade of a thatched parasol next to the hotel's large hemisphere-shaped pool, you'll always have easy access to a resort bar offering refreshing drinks and cool ice cream. If you are on the beach, why not hire a rubber dinghy or a canoe and explore from the water.

Renowned for its delicious food, trying Sardinian cuisine during your stay is a must, and the resort's two restaurants will not disappoint. Dine at Ulivo and enjoy regional specialities made with local produce or try the pretty pop-up S'Ollastinu located in the resort's gardens, just steps from the beach, for a light lunch or a special high-end evening meal created by Chef Samuel Dolfato. After dinner, listen to live music and sip a delightful cocktail under the twinkling starry night sky.
