Badesi bills itself as the “city of wine and sea”, and Is Serenas Badesi Resort makes the most of both. Set on Sardinia’s quiet northern shoreline, the resort is tucked just behind a vast sandy beach backed by dunes and Mediterranean scrub.

You’re in a peaceful, almost countryside setting, yet close enough to reach local bars and traditional trattorie by short taxi ride. Days are about barefoot walks along the coast, watersports off the beach and exploring nearby villages, vineyards and viewpoints along the Gulf of Asinara.

• Beach: approx. 130m (private hotel section; complimentary sunbeds from 2nd row)
• Nearest bars & restaurants: approx. 3.4km
• Nearest resort centre (Badesi): approx. 5km
• Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB): approx. 75km

Approx. transfer time from airport: 2 hours
