Holidays to Sardinia - Where to stay
The main holiday destination on Sardinia for most tourists from the UK is the north-western part of the island. The
Costa Smeralda
is touristically very well developed while at the same time far less spoilt than most other centers of tourism in the Mediterranean. Especially the
immaculate beaches
of the Costa Smeralda are well worth to be visited.
Other popular holiday destinations are
Alghero
in the north-west or
Villasimius
on the eastern coast of Sardinia. The less visited
Costa del Sud
in the south-west of the island can be a great alternative to the beaches in the north.
Beyond the beach Sardinia boasts a rich culture that is only waiting to be discovered. Sardinia is particularly famous for his prehistoric sights like the
Su Nuraxi di Barumini
that was declared an
UNESCO World Heritage Site
in 1997.

Holidays in Sardinia - Advice
The best
travel season
for Sardinia is
June
with temperatures averaging around 25°C. Average temperatures in August rise to 30°C. Several beaches especially in the immensely popular
Costa Smeralda
in Sardinia’s northwest or on the island’s east coast tend to be crowded during school holidays in July and August. Prices for
accommodation in Sardinia
also go down significantly during pre or low season in June or September. If you cannot avoid travelling during the high season you can always find marvelous and sometimes a bit hidden beaches only a few miles outside all main tourist centers. The authentic and wild beauty of the less touristy south of Sardinia can also be a great alternative.
A wealth of
Sardinia holiday deals
for every taste and budget can be found on the websites of Thomas Cook, Opodo, Expedia or Ebookers. To get around on the island we suggest
renting a car
right at one of the island’s airports.
