Banana trees, lemon groves, lavender fields, towering pines, swaying palms, and vibrant bougainvillea create a verdant paradise across Forte Village's 50 hectares. This expansive greenery artfully conceals the 650 rooms spread across its eight distinct hotels, offering guests a sense of true seclusion. The ultimate luxury here is space—complemented by 21 diverse restaurants, the enchanting miniature Cité des Enfants village, and world-class sports academies in football, cycling, tennis, basketball, and more. As the World's Leading Resort, Forte Village consistently exceeds expectations.
Forte Village's Acquaforte Spa introduces Italy's first thalassotherapy program, featuring a unique sequence of six open-air seawater pools with varying temperatures and salinity levels. Begin with the densest pool, rich in magnesium-laden marine oil that resembles frying oil at first glance—the bold step leads to profound relaxation. Ten times saltier than the Dead Sea and heated to 39°C, it eases muscles, soothes joints, and induces weightlessness. Even astronauts visit post-mission to recharge. Floating beneath the open sky amid birdsong feels otherworldly.
Approach Sardinia's vibrant capital, Cagliari, via ponds alive with pink flamingos. Shaped by Phoenicians, Greeks, Arabs, and Spaniards, the city blends rich history. Visit the Basilica of Our Lady of Bonaria, sailors' patron saint, connected to an ancient church where a tiny ivory ship in the apse mysteriously tracks wind directions. Savor authentic Sardinian fare—seafood soup, eggplant with pecorino, tomato-braised snails—at Trattoria Gennargentu (via Sardegna, 60/c), with its rustic charm. Stroll via Roma's arcades, once fishermen's homes now boutique-lined, then ascend Marina's alleys to Castello's ramparts. At Antico Caffè (Piazza Costituzione 10/11), beneath the Saint-Rémy bastion, enjoy drinks overlooking the port and gulf.
