Baia Sardinia

The Gentili family built Baia Sardinia in the 1960s around Cala Battistoni, whose faintly pink sand and clear water remain its signature. Porto Cervo and Porto Rotondo are close by; closer still are Cala Granu and Spiaggia del Pevero, both quieter versions of the same coastline.

Families come for the Acquadream water park and for Bronze Age nuraghe sites within reach; evenings gather at Ritual, a nightclub set inside a natural cave, or at the cliffside tables of Phi Beach.
