How would you like to escape your fussy, cosmopolitan lifestyle and go to a place where you can wear your hair down, slip into your pajamas and sip your Mai Tai all day while you wait for sunset? How would you like to pack your bags now and fly to Sardinia, Italy?

Perfect weather

Sardinia is a wonderful place to visit for tourists from anywhere in the world. Blessed with long summers and mild winters, Sardinia never snows or freezes. In fact, on warm sunny days of winter, you can find a sheltered spot on a beach and actually sunbathe. The mild winters make Sardinia an ideal vacation place all year long. On the other hand, hot summer days in Sardinia are refreshed by the frequent Mistral wind.

Lots of outdoor activities

The Italian island offers all the amenities today’s travelers would not want to miss out on. Whether you’re traveling with 2 or 20 people, Sardinia is a great getaway place that will satisfy even the most hard-to-please tourists.

If you want to swim in beaches, choose between Golfo degli Aranci, [Porto Rotondo, Portisco and Porto Cervo and Costa Smeralda where the rich and famous go. If you want a brush with history, visit the Tombe dei Giganti near Arzachena and San Pantaleo. These are ancient stone towers that date back from the 6th to 11th century.

Every week in the village of San Pantaleo is held a characteristical market where anyone can purchase all sorts of items: from coins and stamps to old clothes, bags, books and car parts.

Relaxation

Italy is home to a great number of spa and wellness boutiques that offer holistic treatments. Find harmony and balance; indulge in a full body massage. Clear your mind and treat yourself for an aromatherapy session.

Also, most hotels in Sardinia have relaxation amenities like Turkish bath, sauna, Jacuzzi, and fitness centers as well as in San Pantaleo.

Safe neighborhood

Generally, Sardinia is a safe place to stay tourists. In the small towns, people still leave their cars with the key inside and their houses open. However, be more careful about locking up during the month of August, when many tourists and visitors are around. If you are in Costa Smeralda, however, there is nothing to worry about because residents have their private guards doing round-the-clock surveillance and ensuring excellent security in the area.

Nightlife

If you like long nights of conversations and partying, there’s a place for you in Sardinia. Nightlife on the Costa Smeralda offers varied choices: simple and laid-back, or upbeat and fashionable, where Europe's glitterati flock during July and August. You can choose among the relaxed piano bars on the piazzetta in Porto Cervo or go for the more frenzied Billionaire Club, owned by the famous Flavio Briatore of Benetton the Formula One racing team.
