The days are getting shorter, temperatures are dropping, rain, snow, and grey skies are back, and outdoor plans are becoming less and less attractive. If the bleak winter weather gets you down and you feel like spending some time out of your coat and gloves, here are some destinations for a sunny New Year 2026.

Some people don’t care about the cold and want to spend New Year’s Eve in a lively European capital, see 2025 out on the slopes, or are already thinking of big dinners with friends and family. Then, there are those who miss the summer, keep their suitcase always packed and ready to go, and have decided to end the year in an above-freezing location and wonder off into the sunset. So if you are lucky, you will say goodbye to 2025 with your feet in the sand!

Here are our suggestions for a cozy and warm New Year’s Eve.

New Year’s Eve 2025 in Marseille

Although it may not reach the 25 °C of other warmer capitals for New Year’s Eve, Marseille has a special charm: being by the Mediterranean, its climate remains relatively mild even in winter, and its urban atmosphere —young, lively and cosmopolitan— helps to “warm up” the festive spirit. For instance, on New Year’s Eve a spectacular fireworks display lights up the Vieux-Port, where thousands gather to welcome the new year.

There are also themed parties in iconic spots such as the rooftop of the Les Terrasses du Port shopping centre (“Masquerade” event) or lively bar-crawl routes for a fun and social night. At the same time, Marseille lets you “breathe the Mediterranean” even in December: strolls through the old town, panoramic views from the Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica, and outdoor activities in the nearby Calanques National Park (not for swimming anymore, but perfect for enjoying the scenery).

If you’re looking for a New Year’s destination that combines city life, the sea, good vibes and mild weather —without giving up on an urban celebration— Marseille is a safe bet to close out 2026.

Must-see: the Vieux-Port with its fireworks display, the Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica, Le Panier district, and the Calanques National Park (scenic walks).

New Year’s Eve 2026 in Cagliari

Who said Sardinia is only nice in the summer? With a youthful, relaxed atmosphere, a people-friendly centre and, above all, mild temperatures and an almost ever-present sun, Cagliari is an amazing place to see in the New Year. Concerts in the square, Christmas markets, all kinds of performances and trips are more than enough to please both party animals and those who prefer a bit or shopping or exploring nature.

This year it will be Copeland, the historic drummer of the band Police, who will liven up the New Year’s Eve concert in Piazza Yenne, which will be followed by a DJ set until 1:30 a.m. We’d also recommend the Christmas markets in the old town, a panoramic walk along the bastions and venturing out of town to enjoy the wonders of the sea in winter.

And if you want to spend New Year’s Eve in Sardinia but already know Cagliari, you will be happy to know that both Alghero and Olbia have prepared unbelievable concerts for the last night of the year, with artists Gabry Ponte and Marco Mengoni, respectively.

Must-sees: castle, fortified quarter, National Archaeological Museum, cathedral, San Benedetto market.

New Year’s Eve 2026 in Malaga

The Andalusian city of Malaga is the perfect destination for those who seek a lively and urban atmosphere, a mild climate, and a beach to take long, relaxing walks. The gorgeous Christmas lights are the perfect backdrop to go shopping and bar hopping down calle Larios. At the port, the restaurants loved by the locals serve the best New Year’s Eve dinners, usually a fish dish. Get your tastebuds ready for the grape-eating tradition, las uvas, when the clock strikes midnight, you swallow a grape with every strike of the clock! If you are fast and concentrated (or sober) enough to succeed, your wishes for the new year will have come true, or at least that’s what they say…

The best place to wait for the campanadas and raise a toast to the new year in Malaga’s Plaza Constitución, a quick walk from beach where you can watch the fireworks.

And if you are still in the city on 5 January, you can’t miss the traditional Wise Men’s parade (Los Reyes Magos), beloved by Spaniards and a favourite for kids.

New Year’s Eve 2026 in Fuerteventura

If you decide to spend 31 December in the Canary Islands, you will feel that you are experiencing an exotic early summer just a few hours from home. Any island in this archipelago in the Atlantic ocean, across from Northwestern Africa, is perfect to enjoy the sun, sea, nature, do sport and leisure activities, or relax during your new year’s holidays. And they all have their own peculiarities that travellers love.

Today, we will tell you about an island that has become famous among young people for its fantastic beaches, ideal surfing conditions, relaxed atmosphere, and its beautiful wild landscapes. We are talking about Fuerteventura, a natural paradise that attracts so many visitors every year, drawn by its unique rhythm.

While the south of the island is the area most visited in the summer by beach lovers, the north side is home to Corralejo, a tourist resort that has retained its fishermen’s village soul. We recommend using it as your base and renting a car to explore the area once you have recovered from the New Year’s Eve dinner and drinks. Other two island towns with a high level of fun (even if you won’t find Tenerife-level excesses here) are Jandia and Puerto Rosario.

The grape-eating tradition is also sacred in Fuerteventura, so grab a bottle of sparkling wine and celebrate by the sea as the clock strikes midnight with your friends or better half.

New Year’s Eve 2026 in Athens

Spending New Year’s Eve in Athens is a great idea for three reasons: its unique art heritage, mild climate that is ideal for cultural visits and outdoor celebrations, and its low prices, which make it one of the most low-cost European capitals. It’s a great destination for Christmas traditions: the Greek Orthodox Church celebrates differently from Catholics, and, even though Christmas decorations are everywhere, you will experience the traditions associated with Saint Basil, whose feast is 1 January and is the most important day for the Greeks. Saint Basil is the equivalent of Santa Claus, and in New Year’s Eve Athens children go door to door signing carols (calanda) and are given Christmas sweets.

Even though many Greeks spend New Year’s Eve at home with their family, Athens is a lively metropolis which offers tonnes of entertainment to visitors. If you’d like to toast outdoors, go to Syntagma o Thisseio Square, where DJ parties and concerts are held every 31 December. If you prefer to stay indoors, no problem: you’ll find dozens of parties in discos, bars, and pubs.

What you shouldn’t miss: the Acropolis, the Agora, Plaka and Monastiriki districts, Filopappo and Licabetto hills, and the National Archaeological Museum.

New Year’s Eve 2026 at Palermo

Palermo is one of those destinations oozing with personality which are impossible to ignore. It’s an inspired choice for New Year’s Eve, because it combines the weather and atmosphere of the Mediterranean seaside and the stimulating, fascinating appeal of a large European city full of history, culture, and nightlife. In addition to its gorgeous Baroque and Art Nouveau wonders, visiting Palermo in New Year’s Eve is also a gold mine for the foodies, because the local gastronomy alone is worth the trip!

It’s easy to find the perfect activity to spend New Year’s Eve in the best way possible in Palermo, whose fascinating lanes, churches, theatres, and venues host concerts and all kinds of events. In particular, the four districts in the historic centre, Kalsa, Vucciria, Capo, and l’Albergheria, are full of little squares, corners, and nooks where you will find music, parties, and street food. And if you feel like enjoying the sea and fresh fish on New Year’s Day, you can always take the bus to Mondello, a few kilometres from the city, which offers a gorgeous beach and so many delicious eateries.

Useful info:

New Year’s Eve 2026 at Marrakech

Spending New Year’s Eve in Marrakech is a great idea for three main reasons: its fascinating mix of culture and tradition, its mild climate, ideal for enjoying the outdoors, and its lively nightlife, which offers unique experiences to greet the year. It is also an inexpensive destination compared to other tourist cities, making it an attractive option for travellers with different spending options. At this time of year, Marrakech is filled with lights, markets and music, offering a special version of festivities in which Berber, Arab and international influences merge.

Although New Year’s Eve is not a traditional celebration in Moroccan culture, the city adapts to welcome visitors with offerings ranging from dinners in luxurious riads, where traditional dishes such as couscous and tagine are served, to dance and music performances in the famous Jemaa el-Fna square. Those who prefer a more exotic setting can opt for a desert tour, with dinner under the stars and fireworks in a Berber camp.

Sardinia has crystal-clear waters, untamed nature and ancient history. It’s also a land where its true identity lies in its food, in the quality of the ingredients that are seasonal, organic, carefully selected and completely eco-friendly.

A tour of the island’s flavours

Exploring Sardinia also means sitting at the table and letting yourself be guided by the aromas, colours and flavours of an ancient, wholesome cuisine. Every area has its own unique recipes, handed down from generation to generation: pane carasau (a flatbread as crisp as the land in which it’s made), pecorino aged in the sun, culurgiones (stuffed pasta) sealed by hand like little memory boxes. The fragrance of myrtle, the distinctive taste of porceddu (roast suckling pig) and the delicate flavour of freshly caught fish tell stories of shepherds, fishermen and families who have been inhabiting and respecting this land for centuries. Wine and food in Sardinia is a universal language: it celebrates the harmony, the co-existence, the deep bond with nature. It’s an experience you’ll never forget, as it nourishes both body and soul.

And Sa Mesa Nostra has been created precisely for this purpose: to nourish you with the finest products and to send you home with the taste of Sardinia still in your mouth. Sa Mesa Nostra is a venture that conveys the excellence of local and Km 0 raw ingredients through tastings and events in local restaurants.

Discovering Sardinia’s hidden gems: here’s our list of best experiences to enjoy on the Sant’Antioco peninsula.

In our articles we’ve been taking you on a journey of discovery to the most stunning corners of Sardinia: from the crystal-clear waters of La Maddalena to the golden beaches of Cagliari and Alghero; from the ancient mysteries of the nuraghi to the unspoiled nature of Asinara, with hiking trails offering spectacular sea views and a cuisine combining land and sea. But this time we’ll be exploring somewhere off the beaten track, a gem that we’ve been keeping under wraps: the Sant’Antioco peninsula, one of southern Sardinia’s lesser known but most authentic treasures.

A bridge across time and water

The Sant’Antioco peninsula, connected to Sardinia by a man-made isthmus just over 3km long, lies in the southwest of the main island, in the heart of the region of Sulcis. It covers an area of around 109km², making it Italy’s fourth largest island in terms of area (although it’s now considered a peninsula). It has two main hubs: Sant’Antioco, the vibrant and picturesque capital, and Calasetta, a small fishing village where the Tabarchino dialect is spoken.

Getting there is easy: it’s just over an hour’s drive from Cagliari, crossing a landscape that changes around every bend — Mediterranean scrub, pink salt pans inhabited by flamingos and barren, windblown hills. But it’s once you reach the bridge connecting the island to the mainland that you realise you’ve stepped into a different world: secluded beaches where the air is salty and the windswept trees seem to point the way, villages where time seems to pass more slowly, fishermen mending their nets at the harbour, widows dressed in black sitting on their steps, watching the world go by.

Sant’Antioco is somewhere you don’t just visit: you can hear it, breathe it and live it.

Some insider tips: how to have fun in Sant’Antioco

To help you discover the true soul of the peninsula, we thought we’d reveal its best kept secrets. So here are our suggestions; guard them as if they were secrets whispered in your ear at sunset, over a glass of Carignano del Sulcis.

The most beautiful (and least crowded) beaches

If you come here for the beaches, you won’t be disappointed. The most famous, of course, is Maladroxia, great for families, with its fine sand and shallow waters. But if you want to feel truly alone, you’ll need to go on a bit further.

Local tip 📍💬 Go to Coaquaddus early in the morning, when the light is still golden and the beach is deserted. Walk over to the rocks, take off your shoes and be amazed by the colours of the water. Or explore Turri, with its promontory dominated by a Spanish watchtower and the small coves nestling between the rocks.

Spiaggia Grande in Calasetta also deserves a special mention, with its pure white sand dunes that look as if they’ve been dusted with icing sugar. And if you’re looking for an even more remote experience, there’s the area of Capo Sperone, on the southern tip: no facilities to speak of, but beauty in spades.

Hiking and walking: between the sea and the wind

Walking is the best way to get in tune with the soul of Sant’Antioco. The mistral blows strongly, the fragrance of the scrub envelops you, and every step rewards you with a view worth snapping — or simply committing to memory.

Local tip 📍💬There’s a path that starts from Sa Guardia de su Turcu and leads to Capo Sperone, along the coast. It’s a fairly quiet route, past junipers and volcanic rocks, with stunning views. Make sure you take some water, a hat and enough time to stop and look around you.

Another unmissable route is the one leading to the Nuragic settlement of Grutti ‘e Acqua, nestling in the peacefulness of the inland hills, where you can feel the energy of its ancient past. Alternatively, if cycling is your thing, the routes alongside the salt pans are idyllic at sunset, with pink and orange hues, and the flamingos silhouetted against the sky.

History and nature: an interwoven fabric

There’s more to Sant’Antioco than just beaches: it also has a layered and ancient history. The island was a Phoenician, then Punic, then Roman colony. Nowadays you can visit the catacombs of Sant’Antioco Martire, one of the most important vestiges of early Christianity in the Mediterranean, or the Tophet, a sacred outdoor Phoenician sanctuary, associated with rituals and ancient beliefs.

Local tip 📍💬Not everyone knows that the Archaeological Museum Ferruccio Barreca houses some amazing finds, including amphora, jewellery and votive artifacts. Then there’s also the Sea Silk Museum, where Chiara Vigo, a master spinner, still turns sea silk into fabric, as the Phoenicians once did.

When it comes to nature, the island is a haven for numerous species: cormorants, seagulls, herons and the flamingos, as mentioned earlier, that inhabit the salt pans. There’s no lack of geological interest either: the rust-coloured volcanic cliffs give the island an almost lunar-like appearance in certain parts.

Unmissable towns and scenes

Sant’Antioco town is a maze of colourful streets, boats in the harbour, artisan workshops and small restaurants with tables outside, where the fish is served fresh as can be. Make sure you take a stroll along the seafront at sunset to take in the views of the boats and the salt pans.

Calasetta, meanwhile, is a little world of its own. They still speak Tabarchino here, a Ligurian-Portuguese dialect that arrived with the colonists from Tabarca, a small island off the coast of Tunisia. The architecture is white, square, almost African in appearance. And the people are friendly; straight-talking but genuine.

Local tip 📍💬 Go to Calasetta and try the fish couscous, tasting of the Mediterranean and age-old stories. And after dinner, admire the sunset as the rays light up the Mangiabarche lighthouse; the wind ruffles your hair and the harbour lights resemble stars reflected in the water.

An invitation to lose yourself

Sant’Antioco is not just a destination: it’s a journey into the most authentic part of Sardinia. Here, life moves at a different pace, the sea has a thousand hues, and the people wear genuine smiles. It’s the perfect place for those in search of a less obvious beauty, for those wanting to walk leisurely, listen to the wind and to the island talking to them.

Whether you want to relax on a deserted beach, explore Phoenician ruins, savour the most delicious bottarga you’ve ever tasted or simply watch the sun go down over the sea with a drink in your hand — Sant’Antioco is waiting for you.

And who knows; maybe, as so many find out, once you’ve discovered this treasure, you’ll never want to leave.

If you are looking for the best beaches near Cagliari, this is the post for you. I’m Cagliari born and bred, and cannot wait to tell you about the most beautiful breaches, all of which have different landscape, services, and area.

Cagliari beaches

If you are in Cagliari, I recommend spending a day in Poetto, the most famous beach in the city, where, in addition to swimming and enjoying the views from Sella del Diavolo, you will be able to walk along the Lungomare, try the typical panini con cavallo at the food trucks, and enjoying an ice cream at sunset.

If you want to explain the area around the capital, map or Google Maps in hand, these are the best beaches near Cagliari.

The best beaches on the coast are near Cagliari

Let us start on the East coast, where you can find my absolute favourite: Mari Pintau, which literally means “painted sea”. After driving along the coast and the bright-blue sea, stop at this small rocky beach. Here you will find no sand, but pebbles smoothed down by time. If you don’t like to walk on rocky terrain, don’t worry: you will be fine if you just wear your usual shoes. But believe me, stopping here is really worth it.

Parking spaces are extremely few, so I recommend coming very early in the morning or in the late afternoon. In the summer, there’s a beach bar, which perfect for a beer at sunset.

Solanas, wide and sandy, is a perfect beach for families. Crystal-clear water and an expanse of fine golden sand, surrounded by wild nature and the scent of Mediterranean scrub. You can also rent inflatables and other means to explore the coast.

Villasimius beaches

Porto Giunco, one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, is on the South coast. Kilometres of extremely white sand, and a wide range of establishments scattered along the coastline. You will have to pay to park at Porto Giunco in the same. You can reach the beaches of hotels such as Timi Hama, which has luxury facilities, or go to the empty beach. You will find plenty of bars, restaurants overlooking the sea, and, for nature lovers, trekking routes, like those at Torre di Porto Giunco and Capo Carbonara. If you go to the beach at Villasimius, make a stop at the local villages and have a delicious meal of fried fish and seafood overlooking the sea.

Another great beach area near Cagliari is Costarei, one of the loveliest stretches of coastline in Southeast Sardinia. Here too you will find typical restaurants, family-friendly establishments, and vast expanses of golden sand.

If you love coves, you shouldn’t miss Cala Sinzias, Cala Pira, and the Peppino cliffs.

The most beautiful beaches on the Southwest coast of Sardinia

Starting from Cagliari, the first beach which you shouldn’t miss is Nora, w which has borne witness to the Phoenician, Punic, and Roman history that has shaped the Sardinian coastline over the millennia. At Nora you will be able not only to plunge into the crystal-clear sea, but also visit the Archaeological Park to learn more about the ancient Sardinian culture. Standing by the beach you will find Sant’Efisio church – if you don’t know the story of the patron saint of Cagliari, I wrote about it in my post on the main festivals in Sardinian tradition.

Other beaches close to Cagliari: Pula, Nora, and Costa Verde

Consider making a stop at Pula, where in addition to Santa Margherita beach and the coastline of white sand and crystal-clear water, you can walk through the picturesque town centre.

When talking about the best swimming areas in Sardinia, I couldn’t leave out Chia: a number of different beaches, all with vast expanses of sand and a shallow seabed, which are perfect for families. One of the most beautiful beaches at Chia is Cala Cipolla, which can be reached by foot only, with a spectacular view of the Capo Spartivento lighthouse.

Su Giudeu is a masterpiece of nature – you will never forget the contrast between its golden sand and the emerald water. Stagno di Spartivento, very close to Su Giudeu is also a must: a natural oasis where gorgeous flamingos make a stop while migrating.

My last recommendation is a real gem, the home to Sardinian deer, where sea turtles come to lay their eggs, sheltered by ancient junipers. The sand dunes at Piscinas, on the Costa Verde, are a precious jewel of biodiversity on the island. Stretches of golden sand that bring to mind the landscapes in One Thousand and One Nights – a unique place, among the most beautiful you will find in Sardinia.

Now all you have to do is choose your perfect beach near Cagliari. If you need more inspiration for your trip to Sardinia, you can find my advice here.

We all know that Sardinia is renowned for its heavenly beaches and crystal clear waters, and in summer we are used to seeing them super crowded. Now, imagine walking on a beach where the only footprints on the sand are yours…impossible? A few simple tricks are sufficient to enjoy the hidden corners of paradise, so if you are seeking the less crowded beaches in Sardinia, some of them well known, this is the right article.

The Least Crowded Beaches in Northern Sardinia

Cala Coticcio

When we think of the less crowded beaches of Sardinia, we are certain that the last image that comes to mind is that of a paradisiacal landscape without anyone around. And yet, we guarantee that there are corners of absolute calm where you can enjoy a crystal clear sea; this is the case of Cala Coticcio on the island of La Maddalena. To reach the beach, it is necessary to follow a hiking trail lasting about an hour, and it is precisely due to the difficulty of reaching it that we include it according to rights among the less crowded beaches in Sardinia. The entrance to the beach, accessible only with a guide, is limited to number.

Terrata Sud Beach

Terrata Sud beach in Golfo Aranci, in the province of Olbia, is perfect for relaxing and sunbathing. We preferred the second cove with its crystal clear turquoise waters and soft golden sand. Compared to nearby Sos Aranzos Beach, this one is more exclusive and remains uncrowded in summer.

Berchida Beach and Bidderosa Oasis

Berchida Beach in Siniscola, province of Nuoro, is synonymous with solitary and wild nature with its shallow seabed and fine, snow-white sand. It is almost deserted even in high season, except of course in the area near the car park. But our advice is to walk to Bidderosa Oasis in Orosei (set in a protected natural setting). Precisely for this reason, remember that the prices to access them are not cheap!

Also discover our article on the 10 Most Beautiful Unmissable Beaches in Sardinia.

Cane Malu

This is the most extraordinary and unusual place we have ever seen in Sardinia: we are talking about Cane Malu in the surroundings of Bosa. Its particularity is the white trachyte cliffs in contrast to the crystalline waters surrounding the Mediterranean scrub. A little curiosity: it is so called because it recalls the long tail of an angry “malu” dog. If there is a mistral wind, it becomes quite dangerous for swimming.

Rena Majore Beach

Rena Majore Beach halfway between Alghero and Stintino is wild, unspoilt and paradisiacal. But how does such a beautiful place remain little known and little frequented? After leaving your car in an unmarked parking lot, you’ll have to walk for about 20 minutes on a path through unspoilt nature to reach it. What surprised us the most is the sand, consisting of fragments of white, pink and black quartz. Visit the beach when the Gregale wind blows, otherwise swimming could be tricky.

Looking for more ideas about this area? Find out where to go to the beach near Alghero.

Spiaggia di Ezzi Mannu

The beach is very welcoming and invites you to relax. Unlike the famous La Pelosa Beach in Stintino, this one is little known and very special. Parking is free, the only thing we don’t recommend is coming here when the wind is blowing down from the north!

Saline Beach

Saline Beach in Mal di Ventre Island is a natural paradise far from everything and everyone because it is wild, deserted and unspoilt. Its history is very curious but we will not reveal anything to you, so as not to spoil the surprise. It can only be reached by dinghy from Mari Ermi or Putzu Idu Beach. Remember to bring an umbrella, water and food.

Piscinas

Most of the pristine and less crowded beaches of Sardinia are concentrated in the west of the island and more precisely on the Costa Verde. Remember that they are the most exposed to the mistral, therefore dangerous when this wind blows, and among these we can include Piscinas Beach, a real miniature desert. According to us, it is one of the most “extraterrestrial” places in Sardinia. Its dunes of fine golden sand grant your eyes an unparalleled spectacle.

The Least Crowded Beaches in Southern Sardinia

Porto Giunco Beach

Just like Cala Sinzias, Porto Giunco, in Villasimius, is less crowded solely on one condition: as soon as you arrive, pass the kiosk and walk 5 minutes along the ravine to reach the less crowded part.

Cala Sinzias

If you are wondering where to go in summer in Sardinia and find a beach that is practically never crowded, the answer is Cala Sinzias. There is a free section alternated with sections equipped with the rental of umbrellas and sunbeds. The sand is golden and the main feature is the green sea. Parking costs 10 euros. Tip: The beach is very wide, so the best way to experience it at its best is to avoid laying out the beach towels as soon as you reach it upon first access, but walk for a few minutes.

Su Giudeu

What can I say? This is how we imagine paradise. We are talking about Su Giudeu Beach in Chia: golden sand dunes, a crystal clear sea and an islet that can be reached on foot. We have been there a myriad of times and we can assure you that one of the most beautiful and rarely visited spots is right in front of Su Giudeu Island, which has the shape of a heart from above: simply unique.

Also read our article on what to see in Chia.

Porto Scudo and Cala Zafferano

We include Porto Scudo and Cala Zafferanoin the list of little frequented beaches for the simple reason that both can only be reached by sea. One experience that will leave you speechless is undoubtedly the boat trip onboard the Pescaturismo Santa Croce 2 Teulada: from the sea to the food cooked on board, up to the history of the coast of South Sardinia recounted by the crew, everything contributes to making the excursion unforgettable.

Well, now that you’ve discovered the least crowded beaches, all you have to do is fly to Sardinia via Volotea. To visit it like a local, you can buy our digital travel guide to Sardinia. Every time we discover something new we add it to the map, so it’s constantly being updated!

Sardinia still holds on tight to its ancient traditions, many of which are passed down and kept alive through festivals and rituals. There are hundreds of religious, secular and pagan holidays celebrated on the island. In this post, I’m going to let you in on the most important ones.

As it’d be impossible to name them all, I’m going to tell you about the best traditional Sardinian festivals: those you need to go to at least once in your life to fully immerse yourself in the culture of Sardinia that’s been around for thousands of years.

The traditional festivals of Sardinia – 2024

Carnival tradition in Sardinia: the bonfires of St. Anthony and the Mamuthones

Forget everything you think you know about Carnival, because here in Sardinia we’ve got masks, heavy fur costumes, cowbells and endless wine. Our ancestors worshipped the Earth, Mother Nature and her crops. Over time, due to cultural and religious changes, this time of the year was dedicated to St. Anthony. On 17 January bonfires are lit in his honour and huge fires illuminate the towns of Barbagia .

On this very important day for Sardinians, the Mamuthones are officially let loose with their Issohadores, the Mamoiada masks that have stood the test of time thanks to the storytelling traditions of our elders. Faces hide behind grotesque yet skilfully carved wooden masks, carrying kilos and kilos of cowbells and leather, the Mamuthones dance around the bonfires, asking the Earth for good harvests. This is an incredible, exciting and touching sight, which will give you a glimpse of the most authentic part of our island.

There is no shortage of celebrations also in the neighbouring villages. In Ottana you can admire the Boes and Merdules masks that show us the link between humans and animals, the Thurpos di Orotelli who wear the traditional orbace wool jackets of Sardinian shepherds. The masks have a precious and ancient history: if you are interested in learning more or can’t visit Sardinia in January, find out more at the Museum of Mediterranean Masks in Mamoiada, one of the most important museums in Sardinia.

Sa Sartiglia in Sardinia

Another important festival celebrated in Sardinia during the Carnival period is Sa Sartiglia, an equestrian event that has very ancient roots. It’s held on the last Sunday and Tuesday of Carnival (in 2024 it took place from 11 to 13 February) and its protagonists are the Su Componidori, men dressed in traditional women’s clothes wearing androgynous masks. This is impenetrable rite reserved for a very select few. The Su Componidori ride their horses to hit a target dangling from a green ribbon, in a game similar to carousel horses. Many performances and acrobatics are performed during these days by the Sartiglia riders, an exciting festival of great importance for Sardinians.

The most important traditional festival in Sardinia: Sant’Efisio

Sant’Efisio is one the most important Sardinian traditional festivals.

Since 1652, every 1 May, the Feast of Sant’Efisio has brought together thousands of people not only from Sardinia, but from all over the world, who arrive in Cagliari to pay homage to the city’s patron saint, and to admire the parade of traditional costumes from the entire island. The Saint’s feast is certainly observed by almost all the inhabitants of Cagliari, who have been celebrating it for centuries, thanking the saint for ridding their city of the plague.

The parade starts at the Church of Sant’Efisio, in the historic district of Stampace, and then ends in the Church of Nora in Pula, where the saint was martyred.

The parade is a riot of colour, rose petals, gold filigree jewellery, finely decorated dresses handed down for generations, ox-drawn carts, men on horseback, and an incredible energy that truly brings everyone together.

The feast of Sant’Efisio begins on 1 May when the Saint is escorted in the procession of the faithful to the Church of Nora in Pula, where he will remain until 4 May, when he is brought back to Cagliari. This is definitely the most important festival in Sardinia, and I recommend that you see it at least once in your life: you will not regret it.

Traditional festivals in Sardinia in the summertime: Faradda and the barefoot race

The descent of the candlesticks, O Faradda, is one of the most renowned festivals in Sardinia, held on the eve of 15 August in Sassari (on the evening of August 14, 2024), in honour of the Our Lady of the Assumption. In the original ritual, wax was brought from the Church of Santa Maria di Pisa to the Cathedral of Sassari by the Gremi, or the representatives of the various guilds, to then be moulded into depictions of biblical scenes and saints. After being placed on a long wooden beam, is carried in procession by the faithful.

Today the wax tradition has been lost, but the procession and vow that have existed for thousands of years are still observed, as well as the dressing of the Candlesticks by the Gremi, making this festival one of the most important and heartfelt on the island.

The Corsa degli Scalzi in San Salvatore di Sinis

At the beginning of September, the semi-deserted village of San Salvatore comes to life thanks to the Corsa degli Scalzi, the festival that reignites the west coast of Sardinia at the end of the hottest month of the year.
Halfway between religion and folklore, the Corsa degli Scalzi brings the people of Cabras and neighbouring villages together: the protagonists are the curridores: men dressed in white tunics with a rope around their waists, who honour San Salvatore by bringing his effigy from Cabras to San Salvatore of Sinis, running barefoot for 9 km.

In 2024 the Corsa degli Scalzi takes place on September 2nd.

Festivals in Sardinia

As well as traditional festivals, in Sardinia there are many local crafts and food festivals. What makes religious feasts, festivals, and folklore events similar is the desire to celebrate and eat and drink together!

If you travel to Sardinia in autumn, you can discover the whole island by taking part in the Cortes Apertas: the event commonly known as Autunno in Barbagia (9-10 November 2024). Barbagia villages literally open their cortes (houses) to anyone who wants to discover their history: there are artists, exhibitions, and private collections, roast meat and crafts stalls along the streets. In short, it’s a real immersion into the local culture.

Another very special event is held between May and June in Muravera (24-28th of April 2024): the Citrus Festival opens the tourist season in the Sarrabus area, with parades, folk music performances by bands from all over the island, and the unmistakable sound of the Launeddas, a wind instrument native to the island.

The folk traditions connected to paganism, which are still deeply felt in Sardinia, include the Eve of Saint John’s. On 23 and 24 June, everyone gathers herbs such as helichrysum, myrtle, lavender, and hypericum flowers to make Saint John’s water.

As you can see, there are so many events and festivals in Sardinia: these are just some of the most important ones. Taking part in them will help you connect to the authentic soul of Sardinia and its people.

In addition to the beaches, towns and hiking trails, giving the nuraghi their own itinerary during your stay is a great way to learn about Sardinia and its history. These structures are easy to spot as you drive along any road on the island, but we want to highlight those that we think are worth visiting because they’re the best preserved, most beautiful and interesting to see.

Nuraghi in Sardinia: what are they?

Nuraghi are ancient megalithic stone structures unique to Sardinia that date back to the 2^nd millennium B.C. They remind you of medieval castles, with their bastions and walls, but with a circular shape.

Nuraghi: who built them?

Archaeology relies on indirect evidence obtained from studying excavations and from finding materials and ovens; that’s why, sadly, there are no written sources and today there are still so many mysteries surrounding the world of the ancient Sardinians. So to answer the question ‘who built the nuraghe?’ we can only tell you that it was the Nuragic people, a prehistoric civilisation that emerged and expanded throughout Sardinia during the Middle and Late Bronze Age and the Iron Age (circa 1700-700 B.C.), and whose name has become synonymous with the structures they most commonly built.

Why did the Sardinians build the nuraghi out of stone?

The main objective of any people, the Nuragic civilisation included, was to take possession of land and to then give it their own legacy. However, the purpose of the nuraghi is not altogether clear. All we know is that at some point in history they were places of worship for the inhabitants of the village.

What we do know, though, is that the nuraghi were subsequently used for other purposes over the course of their existence. But the real question is: how were they built, and above all, in how many years? Well, we’re sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately nobody knows. How the blocks of basalt were transported and erected remains a mystery to this day.

How many nuraghi are there in Sardinia?

The nuraghi are a characteristic feature of Sardinia’s rural landscape: there are around 7,000 of them scattered all over the island. Some are buried under mud while others were destroyed many years ago. Here’s a list of the most interesting ones to visit.

The most beautiful nuraghi in Sardinia

Nuraghe Losa in Abbasanta

SS 131 Carlo Felice, 09071 Abbasanta OR

The Nuraghe Losa in Abbasanta is the one that has delighted us most, maybe because of its unusual shape and because it’s one of the best preserved on the island. The nuraghe Losa, also known as “su nurache ‘e sas losas”, owes its name to the cinerary urns from Roman times that were found outside the village, not far from the boundary wall. Another curiosity is that the village was still in use in the Middle Ages!

The first thing you notice on the guided tour are the shelves on the ground, which were originally positioned at the top of the terrace of the nuraghe. There are actually some steps inside to take you up, treating you to an amazing view of the line of the outer wall.

We also discovered that the nuraghe is still inhabited – by bats, spiders, jackdaws and masses of lizards. Our advice would be to visit during solstice.

Here’s all the useful info:

Guided tour (optional) runs from 9am until one hour before sunset.
The full ticket costs €6.
Dogs are also allowed, on the leash.

Nuraghe Arrubiu in Orroli

Località Su Pranu, 09061 Orroli SU

The nuraghe Arrubiu in Orroli is of course one of the most beautiful and interesting to visit simply because it’s the largest in Sardinia. It’s known as the red giant due to its structure, with its various shades of red basalt and the lichen colouring the surfaces of its walls.

Arrubiu is made up of 22 towers. The entrance faces southeast, opposite the direction the mistral blows, thus protecting the inhabitants from the wind. We know that after it was abandoned by its creators, around the 9^th century B.C., it was repopulated in the 2^nd century B.C. by the Romans, who adapted it to their needs.

The entry ticket costs €5 and includes a guided tour.
It’s open every day from 9:30am until dusk.

The Nuraghe Piscu in Suelli

SS 128 Centrale Sarda, 09040 Suelli Provincia di Cagliari

The nuraghe Piscu stands on a small hill in the countryside of Suelli, from where you can enjoy stunning views. We’ve feasted our eyes on such beauty for two reasons: the nuraghe is surrounded by green valleys and rolling pastures that are bursting with all the colours of the rainbow come spring, and walking around the defensive walls and inside the various rooms is a wonderful experience.

There is even a well! Although the nuraghe Piscu is unguarded and therefore free to enter, in our opinion, it is quite well preserved.

Nuraghe su Nuraxi in Barumini

Viale Su Nuraxi, 09021 Barumini SU

You can’t leave Sardinia without visiting the Nuraghe Su Nuraxi in Barumini, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This Nuragic complex consists of a vast village of huts; its maze of narrow paths and cisterns is quite unique.

It’s open every day from 9am until 4pm during the winter and until 7pm during the summer and can only be visited accompanied by a guide.
The entry fee is €15 and the ticket also includes entry to the Zapata Museum and the Giovanni Lilliu Centre.
The guided tours depart every 30 minutes and last around 1 hour.

Nuraghe Genna Maria in Villanovaforru

09020 Villanovaforru SU

The Nuraghe Genna Maria stands on a hill 1km from Villanovaforru. We are now in central-south Sardinia, immersed in a tree-filled park steeped in the fragrances of the Mediterranean shrubland. There was a village both within and outside of the nuraghe that emerged around 1000 B.C. and was constructed in the same stone as the nuraghe.

The “inhabitants” fled due to a fire, never to return, leaving their possessions unattended until the “conquest” of the Romans, who repurposed the nuraghe as a sanctuary. The excavations revealed many finds, such as cooking pots, grindstones and even animal bones. We were amazed by the discs used for cooking dough and a well that functioned as a fridge.

The uniqueness of the nuraghe Genna Maria lies in its location being around 400 metres above sea level: from here, you can see 53 Sardinian towns and villages and, in really good weather, you can even see the Gulf of Angels in Cagliari. You can even see the Gulf of Oristano stretching out as far as the Giara di Gesturi plateau and the Gennargentu massif.

Guided tours: every hour from 10am to 12pm and from 4pm to 6pm.
Entry fee: full €4, reduced €3. For further information, take a look at the official website.

The nuraghe di Santa Cristina in Paulilatino

Località Santa Cristina, 09070 Paulilatino OR

The sacred well of Santa Cristina is the most mysterious place in Sardinia. It is situated near Paulilatino within an archaeological park, and there is also a beautiful nuraghe that we recommend you visit at sunset.

It’s open all year round from 8:30am until dusk.
Tickets can be purchased directly at the ticket office for €5.

Incidentally, you can also add to your list the nuraghe and Church of Santa Sabina in Silanus, the nuraghe Santu Antine in Torralba, the Nuragic complex of Palmavera in Alghero, the nuraghe Noddule and the nuraghe Dronnoro. Where would you start? Let us know in the comments. See you soon!

Sardinia is a dream destination. In this post, we will give you some insider’s tips on how to get to the most beautiful beaches on the Chia coast. You should know that all these Sardinian-named beaches are absolute gems that you should visit at least once because of their beautiful dunes and their tranquil, limpid, crystalline waters.

Where is Chia and how to get there

Chia is one of the most sought-after destinations in Sardinia. It is located on the Southwest coast of the island, about 45 minutes from Cagliari Elmas airport. Getting there is easier than it sounds: take Road 195 through Teulada and then the exit after Santa Margherita di Pula.

Chia Coast in Sardinia: what to see

Chia is fascinating, colourful, enveloped in the scent of the Mediterranean maquis, wild and magical, as is its surrounding area. If, like us, you are passionate about exploring, you will be endlessly delighted. One of the most frequently asked questions is: what can you see on the Chia coast in Sardinia? There are so many beaches, one after another, but there are also unspoilt coves, cliffs and towers affording breathtaking views. To enjoy these views, we suggest going to the old 1864 lighthouse at Capo Spartivento, which is now a luxurious 5-star hotel.

faro capo spartivento chia sardegna — Capo Spartivento

But we also have another card up our sleeve: you will be able to see the Chia and Capo Spartivento ponds, inhabited by gorgeous pink flamingos. This is the real Sardinia, and you will fall in love with her.

The best beaches on the Chia coast that you should go to at least once in your life

Are you wondering what the best Chia beaches are? You really shouldn’t miss these 5 coves that we have discovered and have surprised us the most:

Su Giudeu
Sa Colonia
Porto Campana
Cala Cipolla (do not underestimate the wind, because it gets very strong)
Cala del Morto

These beaches, in addition to being large (with the exception of Cala del Morto, which is ideal for couples), share something that makes them unique: their golden sands. Of course, the sea is pretty dreamy too. Discover the 7 most beautiful beaches in South Sardinia, where you will feel you are in the Caribbean!

Su Giudeu, Chia dunes in Sardinia

Do you know that Chia is also famous for its extremely high natural dunes? Su Giudeu beach is a natural heaven with dunes of the finest sand. To reach it, you will have to cross as very long wooden walkway. When you cross it, you will be able to see the vast expanse of sand on either side. Walking on the dunes is forbidden: the area is protected, fenced off by rope and wooden barriers.

The water is crystal-clear, and the bottom is several metres deep. If the sea is calm, you will even be able to easily swim to the islet! Not bad, right? There’s beach with several food outlets. The only downside is the (large) parking area, which you must pay for as in all the other beaches we have listed.

Tuerredda, pure magic

But which is the most beautiful beach in Sardinia? That would be Tuerredda, near Chia: with super-fine sand and amazing sea colours, it is a stunning spot surrounded by unspoilt nature. Why travel to the other side of the world when all the magic is concentrated in Tuerredda? We almost forgot: Cala de Sa Perda Longa, a wonderful natural pool with amazing colours, is very near. As you can see, the Chia Coast has so many gems to discover and see!

Here are some tips to make the most of your trip:

The seabed is amazing, particularly in Tuerredda, so bring with you your snorkelling mask and tube. You won’t regret it!
Don’t forget to bring your sandals in your bag to climb the rocks.

Moving between beaches is free – there are so many beaches you can discover taking short and long walks, for example following the old Roman road to Chia.
An old Spanish tower overlooks every cove. If you want to admire a gorgeous sunset, go up to Capo Malfatano tower (which can be visited from the outside only).
Have you heard about fishing tourism in Sardinia? It involves spending a day on a fishing boat with expert fishermen. It’s an unusual, unforgettable experience. Pescaturismo, at Santa Croce 2 in Teulada, arranges boat trips to discover the most beautiful coves in the area, like s’Ottixeddu, Spiaggia degli Americani, Cala Zafferano, and Porto Scudo.
If you can’t spend a day on the beach because the mistral blows so strong (usually for 3 days only, but sometimes for a week), take the car and visit Pula, a typical Sardinian town.

If you think Chia is the ideal destination for your next trip to Sardinia, just book a flight with Volotea. Have we persuaded you?

Sardinia offers a multitude of diverse and unique landscapes that range from towering, jagged cliffs to gentle sandy bays. The Supramonti mountain range is a must visit with unspoilt waterfalls, forests and woodlands all waiting to be explored. In this article I’ll be taking you on a tour of my favourite regional and national nature parks that are well worth a visit.

South Sardinia Nature Parks

Let’s start by discovering the nature parks of southern Sardinia.

Sette Fratelli Park is around an hour’s drive from Cagliari and takes its name, “seven brothers”, from the seven peaks of its mountains. A green oasis considered a gem by locals. The star of this park is the Sardinian deer, and you may well see this majestic animal in its natural habitat on an excursion. Make a stop at the botanical garden (also accessible for the visually impaired) in Maidoppis. While there, be sure to enjoy a picnic or a barbeque in stunning surroundings, as well as visit the archaeological sites such as the Is Concias Giant’s Tomb, just a stone’s throw away.

Remember: only light fires in authorised areas.

Monte Arcosu is the largest Mediterranean bush forest in the Mediterranean basin and also part of the gorgeous Gutturu Mannu Regional Park. It is around 20 km from Cagliari and boasts lush vegetation such as holm oak, cork oak and plants typical of the island like myrtle, rock rose and the strawberry tree. Immerse yourself in the Mediterranean bush and reconnect with nature. Visiting hours can be found on the official WWF reserve site.

In the Campidano area you’ll find the three peaks of the volcanic Monte Arci. This mountain holds a special place in Sardinian history because of its obsidian, or as they used to call it, black gold. It was traded and used to make weapons, such as the obsidian tips that you can see at Cagliari’s archaeological museum. In the town of Pau visit the only museum dedicated to obsidian in Europe and stroll the obsidian trail where the ground is covered in this incredible black glass. For the best experience go on a museum guided tour.

Nature Parks near Cagliari

If you’re in Cagliari be sure to visit the Molentargius wetlands. This is one of the most important sites in the Mediterranean basin as it’s a nesting ground for flamingos. These special birds are held dear to the city and are considered its mascots. It’s a perfect place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and lose yourself in the local flora and fauna.

Sardinia’s Regional Parks

Besides Gutturu Mannu Park and Molentargius Park in Cagliari, Sardinia’s regional nature parks include Tepirola Park, which stretches across the municipalities of Bitti, Lodè, Posada and Torpè. There you’ll find miles of trails and unspoilt waterways. Porto Conte Park, which I described in my article 9 things to see in Alghero in every season. Porto Conte is 20 km from Alghero and is a treasure chest of rich biodiversity. Plus, it’s one of the few places where the griffon vulture still nests.

Sardinia’s National Parks

Among Sardinia’s most beautiful national parks are two wonderful and unique places with rich histories: the Maddalena Archipelago and Asinara.

The Maddalena Archipelago has always been one of the most fascinating places on the island. Not only does it have thousands of years of history but also a rich variety and uniqueness of landscape. Have you ever heard of the pink beach of Budelli for example?

arcieplago di la maddalena — Maddalena Archipelago

Asinara is an island in the Mediterranean Sea, located to the northwest of Sardinia, within easy reach by ferry from Stintino. Famous for having been a prison, today its unspoilt landscape, made up of jagged cliffs and dense Mediterranean scrub, is predominantly inhabited by albino donkeys and Asinara horses.

I highly recommend a day trip to this part of the island.

Historical and Environmental Geo-mining Park of Sardinia

Declared a UNESCO world heritage site in 1998 and the first mining park in the world, the Historical and Environmental Geo-mining Park of Sardinia is one of the island’s most important and unique treasures. The park’s vast and unique environmental, biological and geological features can be seen in the various mining, cultural, natural and historical sites that you can visit. To discover them all, visit the official website of the geo-mining park.

To learn more about this beautiful island, we got in touch with Luna Melis, the young pop-trap singer from Sardinia who became famous in her country thanks to the famous TV programme X Factor. As she is local, we’ve asked her a few questions about what they think of your next destination and if she has any recommendations.

Hi Luna, how are you? Thanks so much for accepting this interview. How would you describe yourself to Volotea passengers who might not know you?

Hi everyone! Thank you for this opportunity! I like to describe myself as a person who loves to live life. I live for music and my family and friends. I really enjoy making people feel good and safe with me and I care about literally everything (I’m very empathic). I will always try to make you see the good in everything!

Congrats on your most recent release, KO, where you draw influence from genres such as K-Pop and RnB. How do you think your home island might inspire the music you make in the future?

I think Sardinia gives good vibes to everyone, to me in particular as it’s my home. There so many special places where I like to go to inspire myself doing something great for me and my music. Energy is everything, and Sardinia really gives energy out of this world.

I’d like to say going to the discos on the beach, go surfing and mountain excursions!

What is the best way to move from one place to the other in Sardinia?

Honestly, car rides are the best cause you can see our beautiful landscapes.

If we’d like to listen to some live music or go for a late night dance, where should we go?

Opera Beach Arena or Ateneika, both in Cagliari.

Which are the most beautiful beaches on the island?

Stintino, Villasimius, Costa Rei, Solanas, La Maddalena and Santa Teresa di Gallura.

And if we get hungry, where should we book a table to taste some local dishes?

Taccas in Cagliari is so good, but also Pani e Casu in Quartu is really nice.

What’s your favourite thing to eat that is typical from your region?

Seadas, absolutely. But roasted pig is on another level in Sardinia.

Where would you go for a romantic walk and perhaps watch the Sardinian sunset?

Maybe on lungomare Poetto, a must.

Are there any beautiful small towns that maybe not everyone knows about that you could suggest visiting?

Yes, inland is full of beautiful small towns where you can also enjoy really good food and beautiful mountain landscapes.

And last but not least, if you could book your next holiday with Volotea, what destination would you like to visit and why?

I’d really love going to Santorini, it’s one of my dreams.
