The best holiday destinations on the east coast of Sardinia
The east coast of Sardinia is perfect for those seeking idyllic, unspoilt beaches. The Gulf of Orosei is home to some of Europe’s most beautiful beaches, such as Cala Goloritzé, Cala Mariolu, Cala Sisine and Cala Luna.
San Teodoro, on the other hand, is renowned for its vibrant summer nightlife, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a holiday that combines fun and relaxation. Soft, white sand and a shallow, crystal-clear blue sea complete the picture.
However, the east of Sardinia has more to offer than just the sea. In the heart of the island, in the region of Barbagia, you can experience the most authentic Sardinia. Visit Nuoro, known as the ‘Sardinian Athens’, the birthplace of famous artists and writers. Take a stroll through the streets of Orgosolo and admire the murals that depict the historical vibrancy of this village. Orgosolo has always been a culturally and politically active place. Experience unique events such as Autumn in Barbagia and the carnival in the picturesque, authentic villages of Sardinia’s hinterland.
Nature, sports and hiking enthusiasts will enjoy a visit to the Nuragic village of Tiscali, named after the famous Sardinian company that revolutionised the Italian digital world in the 2000s, as well as a hike in the Su Gorropu Canyon, the largest canyon in Europe.
Join an experienced guide on the famous Selvaggio Blu trail and discover mesmerising coastal views and breathtaking cliffs. Everything here is even more beautiful than you could imagine.
