Sardinia is a superb destination for family holidays – and that’s before you even add the Mediterranean island’s idyllic beaches and crowd-pleasing cuisine like pasta and pizza.
Active kids will discover hiking, caving and climbing adventures in abundance, while Sardinia’s warm, shallow waters, amenities and beach play areas are ideal for younger children.
Around the island’s coast, all-inclusive hotels put on some fantastic activities for kids – think pools, playgrounds and evening entertainment. The hotels’ babysitting services are the cherry on top.

Costa Smeralda
The famous northeastern Emerald Coast (Costa Smeralda in Italian) is home to some of the island’s swankiest resorts and loveliest beaches. It’s around a 30-minute drive north of Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport. Visit Punta Tegge on the island of La Maddalena for safe swimming in shallow waters and wildlife-rich snorkelling.
Alghero
A truly family-friendly city, medieval Alghero, in the northwest, is a beguiling combination of history, culture and top beaches. Home to a small waterpark, trampolines and electric quad bikes, Le Bombarde Beach is a hit with kids. Le Ragnatele Adventure Park ups the family fun even more, offering rope bridges, swings and picnic areas.
Costa Rei
On Sardinia’s southeast coast, idyllic Costa Rei is an unmissable family-friendly resort. Its beaches are stunning, and its coral reefs perfect for snorkelling. If you prefer to stay on dry land, you can fill your family’s itinerary with beach volleyball, five-a-side football, hiking and plenty of kids’ clubs and activities.
