Discovering Sardinia: A Jewel in the Mediterranean

Camping tour in the southeast

Sardinia: sea, sun, fun, relaxation, nature. All in one. All concentrated in an island that truly exists! Let’s start our camping tour in the southeast, then move counterclockwise. In fact, in all four corners of Sardinia, you’ll find Nuovi Sogni partner campsites ready to offer you an unforgettable open-air holiday.

Near the major cities of Cagliari, Alghero, Nuoro, and Olbia, there are renewed campsites offering glamping accommodations in stylish mobile homes and exclusive lodge tents. Among the many services provided are swimming pools, hot tubs, top-notch entertainment for all ages, illuminated football fields, tennis courts, beach volleyball, playgrounds, windsurfing schools, and pools for both adults and children—just to name a few.

In this stretch of southeastern coast, wrapped in golden sand and scented with Mediterranean scrub, you can rediscover the joy of being active, taking long hikes, or swimming in the calm, crystalline sea just steps away. From these corners of paradise, visiting the capital city is easy and fun. In Cagliari, be sure to stop by the Cathedral of Santa Maria, built in the 13th century in Pisan Gothic style and dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin and Saint Cecilia. Don’t miss the Civic Palace and the nearby Towers of the Elephant, then relax in the shade of a palm tree while enjoying fregula with clams or steamed mussels and clams.

Heading Northeast

Following the coast northward, you'll be captivated by the open-air gems nestled among nature. These are ideal spots for a vacation full of outdoor adventure, sport, or pure relaxation. Thanks to their privileged locations, surrounded by an incredible sea, the campsites near the Maddalena Archipelago offer unforgettable experiences.

All campsites here provide high-quality services to ensure a carefree stay: Wi-Fi, bars, restaurants, pizzerias, mini-markets, safety boxes, laundry areas with washing machines, shuttle services, and in some seasons, equipped beaches and entertainment.

If you're looking to try something new or enjoy your favorite hobbies, this part of the coast is perfect for diving, snorkeling, sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, and much more. You might even spot a pair of dolphins leaping playfully or catch a fiery sunset kissing the Mediterranean. Heading west, you’ll reach the breathtaking Coral Riviera, where sea and sky merge into one. Here you’ll find untouched paradises, ideal for relaxing and discovering Sardinia’s most beautiful beaches. In this area lies Alghero, known for its cobblestone historic center and Gothic Catalan architecture such as the Cathedral of Santa Maria and Palazzo Guillot.

Heading south

We end our tour of Sardinia and its wonderful campsites back in the south, where we began—specifically in Sant’Antioco, in front of Cala Sapone. A wild and unspoiled area, where humans live in harmony with nature in a simple, respectful way. If you're looking to escape the city, the chaos, and the hectic pace of life, this is where you'll find peace.

The campsites along this stretch of coast offer well-equipped modern mobile homes and masonry bungalows, enriched with exclusive services such as pools, restaurants, pizzerias, bars, playgrounds, entertainment, mini-markets, and more.

This land is also full of events, historical reenactments, and food festivals organized by local communities. Here you can take part in traditional celebrations while sampling local products like Pane Carasau, bottarga, honey, or succulent Sardinian wild boar with potatoes.

Yes—Sardinia truly has something for everyone. A magical island, full of secrets waiting to be discovered. For your next open-air adventure in Sardinia, choose Nuovi Sogni—the best glamour campsites are waiting for you.
