About Sardinia
Flights to Sardinia land you on an island that’s glam and rustic in equal measure. Much like its neighbour to the north – Corsica – it’s a far cry from the bucket-and-spade brigade, tending to attract a more discerning sort of traveller. The beaches are worlds apart from the Italian mainland, too. It’s the proud owner of some of the best stretches in Europe. In fact, the white sands and turquoise waters wouldn’t look out of place in the Caribbean. The Costa Smeralda – also known as the Emerald Coast – is where you’ll find some of the most idyllic curves and coves. This is where the international jet-set and A-listers weigh anchor, as well, so the hotels are just as exclusive. And Porto Cervo’s chic marina is full to the brim with designer boutiques – think Gucci and Louis Vuitton. But holidays to Sardinia also draw in a back-to-basics cultural crowd, who travel here for the cobblestone towns and home-cooked cuisine. Away from the swanky resorts of the east, you’ll find rugged Mediterranean countryside. Forests, mountains and canyons are interspersed with nuraghi – a type of Bronze Age tower, which are only found on the island. Our direct flights to Sardinia open the door to a traditional-meets-chic world, where you’re just as likely to see a Maserati as you are a hay-toting tractor. We fly into two of the island’s biggest airports – in Olbia and Alghero – from places like Gatwick, Luton, Bristol and Manchester. You can check out our cheap flight offers on our deals page.
Fast Facts
- Head north to the bays that make up the Costa Smeralda. The waters in these parts are so clear you can spy the seabed.

- Max out our credit card in the boutiques lining the Via Roma in Cagliari. You’ll find everything from baby-soft pashminas to Jackie O-style shades.
- Join the Champagne-swilling set in Porto Cervo – this chi-chi town has a good collection of bars and a couple of clubs.
