7Pines Resort Sardinia

It’s easy to be seduced by the laidback charms of 7Pines Resort Sardinia, set on a 15-hectare promontory on the island’s north coast, just a short drive from the exclusive Costa Smeralda. Scenic paths wind through fragrant gardens to three hidden coves with secluded beaches for swimming, and local textiles and ceramics give an authentic sense of place.

Rooms and suites vary in size and are spread throughout the grounds. All have terraces with loungers and tables, some have stunning sea views, while Laguna rooms and suites are reserved for adults only and set around an adults-only pool.

The spa is laid out around a lush green courtyard and offers a wide range of treatments as well as a steam bath, sauna and ice showers. Dining options range from Sardinian and Italian dishes at fine-dining Capogiro with panoramic sea views, to clifftop Cone Club and poolside Spazio. Electric bikes are freely available to explore the local area, and activities include several unique experiences such as visits to a local farm or cruising by yacht to Corsica.
