Mainland Italy is packed with culture, mouth-watering cuisine and stunning vistas. It\u2019s not a traditional sun, sea and sand destination though. Head off the mainland and you may well find exactly what you\u2019re looking for with luxury travel in Sardinia!<\/p>\n<p>The hub of boutique travel in Sardinia is the Costa Smeralda in the north. Let us tempt you to visit somewhere different in Sardinia with our 4 perfect options. Trust me, you\u2019ll thank us!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/North-coast-Sardinia-Stefano-Garau-min.jpg\" alt=\"Top Picks for Luxury Travel in Sardinia\" width=\"424\" height=\"283\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16797\" \/><span style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 9px; color: #ccc;\">Photo by: Stefano Garau\/Fotolia<\/span><br \/>\n<\/br><\/p>\n<h2>Li Finistreddi, Cannigione<\/h2>\n<p>Resting in the Gallura mountains, this 19-roomed boutique hotel is just 3km away from the beachfront of Cannigione. The airy ambience and light d\u00e9cor reflects the external setting perfectly. Away from the hustle and bustle, the hotels facilities maximise relaxation. Leave your stresses behind at the well-equipped spa and pool. Have no fear if you prefer being active, there\u2019s a fitness room and private running track too. Still in full view of the coast, it won\u2019t just be the exercise that takes your breath away! <\/p>\n<p>The popular onsite restaurant boasts an ever-changing menu. It has a whole host of freshly prepared dishes highlighting great local produce. Be sure to leave room for dessert!<\/p>\n<p>Due to its remote location in the north, hiring a car can come in handy. Take advantage of the Costa Smeralda being within close range. Alternatively, head in the opposite direction to Tanca Manna.<br \/>\n<\/br><\/p>\n<h2>Ea Bianca Luxury Resort, Baia Sardegna<\/h2>\n<p>This five-star luxury resort slopes slowly into the sea. Beach access is no problem. Resort guests have access to a dedicated section with loungers aplenty. There\u2019s also an infinity pool, complete with sun deck and lounge bar. If you can\u2019t resist trying to keep in shape, head to the Recrea Wellness Center. Its fully-equipped gym and sauna will keep you on your toes. <\/p>\n<p>Whether you like to eat onsite or go out, you\u2019re well-catered for. The nearby towns of Baia Sardegna and Porto Cervo host exciting nightlife. The hotel restaurant showcases both international and Mediterranean delights.<br \/>\n<\/br><\/p>\n<h2>Faro Capo Spartivento, Chia<\/h2>\n<p>Slightly unusual but no less stunning, this guest house has a small number of suites and two mini apartments. Over 150 years old, the guest house is located in Sardinia\u2019s oldest lighthouse. In fact, the light still functions to help boats navigate the coast.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Faro-Capo-Spartivento-alex.pin-min.jpg\" alt=\"Top Picks for Luxury Travel in Sardinia- Faro Cape Spartivento\" width=\"424\" height=\"283\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16799\" \/><span style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 9px; color: #ccc;\">Photo by: alex.pin\/Fotolia<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Reachable only by private shuttle bus, this part of Sardinia is at the extreme south. It is also protected to preserve its natural state. <\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the truly unique clifftop view by eating in the centrally covered area. You won\u2019t be limited to just a set menu either. The icing on the cake is the chef on hand to create individual meals, just for you. <\/p>\n<p>Wind down after a day of sightseeing with one of the various massages or other beauty treatments available.<br \/>\n<\/br><\/p>\n<h2>For something different\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Why not stay in a pinnatu? The peaceful village of Santa Lucia, Siniscola is the first eco-friendly village in Sardinia. The huts deeply resemble the ancient nuraghe structures for which Sardinia is famed. The huts are in fact surprisingly spacious. They combine ancient building traditions, modern regulations and local materials. Supplies such as linen and locally produced body care products are provided onsite. Breakfast comes locally sourced where possible too. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s embedded in seven hectares of untouched flora, synergic and vegetable gardens. You could even pop down to the organic vineyard. Being so close to the beach, you can still take advantage of many popular activities. Try your hand at horse riding, sailing or diving. Rent a boat and explore the nearby sea caves. <\/p>\n<p>Get in the spirit and try to be as eco-friendly as you can. Help is on hand to make the stay as energy-saving as possible.<br \/>\n<\/br><\/p>\n<h2>Booked your trip yet?<\/h2>\n<p>Sample the lap of luxury in the popular Costa Smeralda, or look further afield.
