Hotel Punta Negra
Great for relaxing coastal escapes True beachfront location on sandy coves Lovely sea views from pools, terraces and many rooms Bright, airy Mediterranean-style rooms Pool perfection with two lagoons of saltwater bliss Free Wi-Fi throughout
Overview
Hotel Punta Negra is a classically Sardinian seaside hideaway carved into low cliffs just outside Alghero. Think pine-framed terraces, two lagoon-style seawater pools and big-sky views over the impossibly blue Riviera del Corallo. With direct access to sandy coves, bright Mediterranean-style rooms and an intimate, low-rise feel, it\u2019s made for slow, sea-breezy days and sunset aperitivo on the terrace.

Map & location
Alghero, Sardinia, Italy
Hotel Punta Negra sits right on the seafront just outside Alghero, surrounded by fragrant pines and rugged rock shelves that tumble down to sandy coves. You\u2019re away from the bustle enough to really unwind, yet close enough to dip into Alghero\u2019s old town for Gothic churches, narrow cobbled lanes and candlelit trattorie when the mood takes you.
Beach-lovers are spoiled: as well as the little coves directly below the hotel, the wider Alghero area strings together long sweeps like Bombarde Beach, easily reached by local buses or taxi. Boats to the famous Neptune\u2019s Grotto cave system depart from the harbour, so you can turn a simple sightseeing trip into a scenic mini-cruise along the cliffs.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Two outdoor saltwater pools curl around the cliff edge, framed by lawns, pine trees and views across the bay. One pool includes a shallow children\u2019s section, making it easy to keep an eye on little ones, while the other is perfect for longer, lazy laps or simply drifting with a book on a lilo \u2013 inflatables are permitted.
Sunbeds and parasols line the surrounding terraces, and the atmosphere stays blissfully chilled; this isn\u2019t a \u2018loud music by the pool\u2019 kind of place. From the gardens, paths and steps lead straight down to the small sandy coves below, where you can swim in clear, gently-shelving water and snorkel along rocky outcrops.
Spa, sports & wellness
This isn\u2019t a full-on resort with a long activities list, but rather a peaceful coastal escape with a handful of thoughtful touches.
On land, children have a simple playground with a climbing frame, while adults can explore the coastline on foot or by bike (local rental available in the area). The hotel team can help arrange boat trips, island excursions and visits to Alghero\u2019s old town, Neptune\u2019s Grotto and nearby beaches.
Practical extras include a reception offering concierge-style support, luggage storage and baby-friendly items like bottle warmers and kettles on request (some items may have a local charge). There are also facilities to charge mobility scooters.

Food & drink
At the heart of the hotel is the elegant Punta Negra Restaurant, an airy space where light pours in through wide windows. Expect Sardinian and classic Italian flavours \u2013 plenty of fresh seafood, local pasta and simple, well-sourced ingredients.
Breakfast is typically a buffet spread with pastries, fruit, cold cuts and hot options. If you opt for Half Board, dinner is usually served as a set menu in the \u00e0 la carte restaurant, pairing regional dishes with fine Italian wines. There are highchairs for younger guests, and vegetarians are generally well catered for (advise the hotel of any specific dietary needs).
Outdoors, the bar and snack bar stretch onto a sea-facing terrace \u2013 a perfect spot for light lunches, gelato breaks and sunset aperitivo with a Negroni or chilled Vermentino in hand.

More info
Alghero is one of Sardinia\u2019s most characterful coastal towns, with a Catalan-influenced old town, a lively marina and easy access to some of the island\u2019s best beaches. Currency is the Euro (€), language is Italian (with English widely spoken in tourist areas), and the time difference from the UK is typically +1 hour. Average flight time from the UK to Sardinia is around 3 hours, with an approximate transfer of 2 hours to reach Hotel Punta Negra depending on your arrival airport and routing.
Local dining leans heavily on seafood; lobster alla catalana and fresh fish grilled simply with lemon feature on many menus. When you\u2019re ready to explore further, day trips to Neptune\u2019s Grotto, coastal walking routes and hop-on, hop-off beach buses in summer give you plenty of variety beyond the hotel.
