Six Sardinia stays to steal your heart

The one for: The young at heart seeking a stylish escape and vibrant social scene

Taking a leaf from its laid-back Ibizan sister property, a social-centric and contemporary atmosphere is the keystone for this corner of Sardinia’s northern region, from poolside to dancefloor. A fresh addition to Carrier’s portfolio, 7Pines brings a modern edge to the island, stepping away from Costa Smeralda’s more traditional resorts. Polished with a trendy urban feel, its rooms are spread over vast palm-studded grounds, attracting the youthful and young at heart - whether in couples or families.

A 7Pines favourite, The Cone Club seamlessly transforms to reflect the unique atmosphere of each resort. Here on Sardinia’s sun-drenched shores, it becomes a luxurious beach club, where sunset rituals, easy-going elegance, and curated culinary experiences set the tone. And while you may never want to leave your plush daybed, with direct sea access, a refreshing dip in crystalline waters is always just steps away.

The one for: Celebrating subtle sophistication in harmony with Sardinia’s wild beauty

A Sardinian daydream wrapped in the rugged nature of its north coast home; local-living is the heart and soul of this village-like resort. Family-owned through and through, the vibe cultivated is very much that of staying in a beloved friend’s home – laid-back and welcoming to all. Sharing space with its sister property, Hotel Erica, communal places to venture to include sea- and fresh-water pools and a spa inspired by Ancient Rome. The eco-credentials here are strong too, summed up in its five-time crowning as Europe’s greenest hotel. As the final addition to Carrier’s refreshed Sardinia line-up, it brings a different kind of luxury - one rooted in nature, authenticity, and quiet sophistication.

Embark on an exclusive boat excursion from the resort’s private mooring point. Set sail towards the stunning La Maddalena Islands or, for those seeking a longer adventure, cross the waters to the untamed beauty of Corsica. As you glide over the crystal-clear Mediterranean, take in breathtaking views, explore hidden coves, swim in serene, untouched waters, and experience the quiet beauty of Sardinia’s coastline from a truly exclusive vantage point.

The one for: Timeless glamour in the heart of Costa Smeralda

The place to be seen since the 60s, Cala di Volpe’s’ effortless charm remains untouched by time. Holding legendary status in Sardinia and among the first in a long line of luxury establishments, its waterside design by architect Jacques Couëlle continues to stand the test of time. Designed as a destination unto itself, to the untrained eye a pastel-hued hamlet hugs a private marina, where the yachts of high society flock for famed culinary fare.  The barbecue buffet is the most popular draw, served poolside as the sun reaches full height. Film fanatics may even recognise such a cinematic setting as 007’s suite in The Spy Who Loved Me.

Tennis enthusiasts of all levels can take their skills to the next level at the Mouratoglou Tennis Centre Sardinia. With world-class facilities including four tennis courts and two padel courts, this is a place where players can perfect their game under the philosophy of legendary coach Patrick Mouratoglou. Whether it’s private coaching, group sessions, or kid-friendly programs, each lesson is designed to refine technique in a setting that’s as inspiring as it is elite. Here, it’s not just about improving your skills - it’s about playing for the sheer love of the game.
