Sardinia is Calling You!


And you can not even hesitate about not answering the cellphone. When planing your next holidays, you should consider that it has never been more easy to get to the famous Italian island. Delete its name from the list of impossible destinations: you don’t have to be extremely rich to enjoy the Emerald Coast. Although it is still a millionaires favourite spot, Sardinia is getting more and more accessible to other budgets.

Despite it is world-known for being a jet-set destination with a luxury harbour, top brand boutiques, and first class resorts as Hilton Sardinia, the hot spot is not longer just for privileged travellers. Although your dream holidays would start by boarding a private jet or even an helicopter to reach the Tyrrhenian Sea, there is another way of visiting Sardinia.

First of all, you do not need to fly first class as there are cheap plane tickets from the United Kingdom by EasyJet and Ryanair, two low-cost airlines that offer affordable weekly landings in Olbia airport. Don't worry if you do not have a distinguish boat to tie up at the pier of an exclusive yacht club, you might feel more free if you just forget about parking vessels and get in contact with the crystalline water snorkeling at the archipelago Della Maddalena. Anyway, if you are really fond of ships you can attend the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup or the Sardinia Cup Sailing Regatta that are held on September. Polo matches and a vintage car rally complete the entertainment program.


To explore the area, renting a car to drive along the amazing coastal roads is an expense that you can not skip as taxis are incredible expensive and public transportation is limited. That way you will also be independent enough to find a decent central accommodation instead of paying an overpriced room at an overrated tourist beach. Probably the most cost-effective option for lodging is Doubletree Sardinia taking into account the facilities, the setting and the rates.

If you do not want to pay 1.50 Euros per hour to use the official parking, as the streets of the island are safe you can just leave your car on the main roads and in that way access to all the beaches will be free. At that point, you might have been saving enough to enjoy a party evening at Phi Beach in the seaside town of Baia Sardinia with super cool drinks and live music without carrying about the bill. To keep the low profile, you can pick up good bargains from the beach traders or jump to the other extreme and go for luxury shopping at Porto Rotondo. Sardinia lets you choose, and that is the recipe of an intelligent business plan for your holidays: being cautious with spends and gifting yourself great compensations for the savings.
