Northern Sardinia: what to see
Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean, a gem waiting to be discovered, as vast as it is rich in history, culture and natural wonders. The island is one of the most sought after beach destinations in Italy thanks to the presence of one of the most beautiful coasts of the entire Peninsula and the Mare Nostrum as well as the marvellous seaside resorts in Sardinia which, due to the incomparable charm of the island’s beaches and crystal clear waters, attract millions of tourists every year.
The north of the island
Of all the places to visit, northern Sardinia is certainly among the most renowned, with its spectacular landscapes, enchanting beaches and cultural heritage. From Costa Smeralda to its charming seaside towns like Alghero, everything on the ‘island of flamingos’ has a story to tell and worth discovering.
What to see, then, in the north of Sardinia?
Costa Smeralda (Emerald Coast)
The absolute queen of luxury beach tourism in Sardinia and Italy is Costa Smeralda, legitimately titled as one of the island's hallmarks of top-end tourism. Its very heart and quintessence reside in Porto Cervo, the ideal location for a mix of enchanting beaches and dreamy sea and luxury and glamour.
What to see in the north-east of Sardinia: The Maddalena Archipelago and Golfo Aranci
A wonderful island in the north of Sardinia is La Maddalena, the main one of a group of smaller islands that are ideal for those seeking the true essence of natural beauty. The incredible waters of La Maddalena can be reached by ferry from Palau, from where you can also leave to visit Budelli, another island in the archipelago where you will be blown away by the unique beauty of its pink beach. Very close to the archipelago is another one of Sardinia’s stunning destinations, Golfo Aranci, whose white beaches and crystal-clear waters will leave you breathless, thanks also to its amazing accommodation facilities, which are perfectly integrated into the area, such as the VOI Colonna Village.
Alghero
Among the most distinctive villages of northern Sardinia is Alghero, with its peculiar Catalan-style old town. With its small cobbled alleys, rich yet simple looking squares, and ancient walls that once protected the town as if it were a precious treasure, Alghero is one of Sardinia’s most picturesque destinations. In addition to its rich history, the town also boasts some beautiful seaside areas, such as Mugoni beach or Cala Dragunara.
Going southward
Sardinia, however, is not just about the best-known locations hosting hoards of summer tourists. In fact, the southern part of the island deserves as much attention from visitors as the northern part. Of all the places you can visit, the most memorable is certainly Villasimius. Here is where you can find authentic Sardinia, where you will feel like living a timeless experience. The beauty of this place is not only limited to nature, but also encompasses its culture and authenticity, which makes it a truly dreamy destination. The village allows for a host of activities, further expanded by the offerings of its accommodation facilities, such as the VOI Tanka Village. Overlooking Simius Beach, VOI Tanka Village offers exclusive services that will further elevate your Sardinian experience, as well as a renovated and exclusive area, VOI Tanka selected: a charming retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, where luxury and relaxation meet to provide you with the most beautiful memories of your holiday in Sardinia.
