Delve into the island’s fascinating history 

Cheap holidays to Sardinia offer a window into history like no other. The cities of Alghero in the northwest and Cagliari in the south have roots going back almost 3,000 years to the Phoenicians, who were clearly onto a good thing, because successive empires have since cherished these cities, and they remain remarkably well preserved. 

Sunbathe on spectacular sands

All-inclusive Sardinia package holidays can be equally as rewarding. There are few sights in the world more appealing than a beach in Sardinia and the Costa Smeralda (aka the Emerald Coast, named after the colour of the surrounding water) is a great place to find your favourite.

For nature nuts, the San Teodoro lagoon, located behind the pristine white-sand La Cinta beach, is home to many beautiful birds and a large resident population of flamingos.

Pick the perfect spot

When looking for cheap package holidays in Sardinia there are plenty of great deals just waiting to be snapped up. So, choosing where to go will likely be the most challenging part.

To help you make the right choice, the northeast coast around Olbia is the most developed, while Costa Smeralda is a great family spot. And while Costa Verde in the south-west is wilder, the beaches and towns in and around Alghero in the north-west are a great choice for all-inclusive Sardinia holidays.

When to go

The dry Mediterranean climate ensures that rainfall is scarce in Sardinia, even in winter months. In high summer the heat is usually still bearable, making trips between May and October ideal for holidaymakers. However, the resorts are much quieter during the fringe season months.

Events for your diary

Sa Sartiglia Carnival: This annual event is celebrated across Sardinia at the end of February. To catch it at its most flamboyant, head to Oristano where horsemen take part in a ritualistic medieval-style joust.
