Southern Sardinia remains sweetly preserved from crowds of tourists. The comely province sits left of Italy, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. Renowned for its beautiful waters, Sardinian beaches are unlike anything you have seen before. The seas shine a bright turquoise from afar and are charmingly crystal clear up close. It’s no wonder the Chia Coastline, Domus de Maria, has won first place, as Italy’s ‘Most Beautiful Sea 2025’ by the Legambiente and Touring Club Italiano.
The Chia Laguna Resort property sits prettily at the peak of the Sardinia hills, in a symphony of green, aromatic plants and bright blossoming nature, with local homes planted every few acres posing as the perfect Sardinian portrait. After unwinding and settling into Conrad Chia Laguna Hotel, I posed the question to the General Manager Marco Gervasoni, what he admired most about the property having been here since its opening with a zest for life he replied, ‘Apart from the stunning location, Chia Laguna has options for everyone, and options are the new luxury.’ And he wasn’t wrong.
Chia Laguna Resort is made up of three hotels. The first, Conrad Chia Laguna Sardinia,isa 107-room and suite hotel overlooking the charming Chia Bay and lagoon. Ideal for the luxurious and curious traveller, the Conrad Chia Laguna pays homage to its traditional Sardinia roots by interiorly blessing the premises with local textiles and art. Even down to the botanical hotel scent, which is reminiscent of typical plants of Sardinia, the elicriso plant, which beautifully roams the property, instantly ushers the guests into relaxation.
Whilst it might be tempting to relax in your chosen Conrad room, the rest of the property calls. From indulging in the colourful Mediterranean breakfast spread at the main hotel restaurant La Terrazza, to savouring tranquil moments in the sun by the rooftop pool. Unwind at Chia Laguna Spa, renowned for transporting guests to a reborn paradise. Enjoy every inch of the property in complete tranquillity.
A resort that caters to all, nestled in the nucleus of the resort, the Hotel Village offers 240 spacious rooms providing a peaceful and elegant space for families to enjoy quality time in a home-from-home setting. With a dedicated kids club, central pool, and 5-a-side football pitch, plus the Dune Di Campana beach close by, there is plenty of entertainment and relaxation for little and big ones too.
With luxury showing no signs of fading, just a five-minute transportation ride away, is the Baia di Chia Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton. This hotel is perfect for intimate breaks where time stands still. The 77-room hotel sits enclosed in nature with a panoramic view of the beautiful bay of Chia. Where downtime is highly prioritised, guests can enjoy the semi-Olympic swimming pool, two beach clubs with the pleasure of dining on Sardinian delicacies from a menu crafted by executive Chef, Roberto Chergia.
The best bit? A direct path to the raw beauty of Monte Cogoni Beach, a beach full of life where the locals roam freely. Find your spot on the white sand and catch sight of the signature Tower of Chia whilst lying out as the temperature heats up.
