Veridia Resort, a Member of Radisson Individuals

If you’re a nature lover seeking a relaxing Sardinian getaway, stay at the hillside Veridia Resort, a Member of Radisson Individuals near Su Portu Beach. Wander through bougainvillea-filled gardens or swim in the infinity pool overlooking Sardinia’s signature blue waters. Plus, you can unwind with sunrise yoga and guided nature walks. When you need to refuel, three restaurants also offer a delicious array of Italian and Sardinian specialties, like pasta dishes and local cheeses.

Veridia Resort occupies a hillside spot on Sardinia’s tranquil south coast. Set amid an amphitheatre of greenery and cliffsides, the resort is perched above Chia Bay and overlooks the historic Saracen Tower on a neighbouring clifftop. A shaded path with steps also leads down to the trademark turquoise seas and skies off of Su Portu Beach, 200 metres away. You can reach the Saracen Tower from here and relish its top-tier sea views too. For cultural sights, the island’s capital – Cagliari, is the place to go. Head 35 miles east to explore the seafront marina and wander the hilltop Castello quarter’s winding lanes. Don’t miss a stop at the 12th Century Cagliari Cathedral, where intricately carved marble ceilings and vibrant frescoes adorn the interiors. Meanwhile, south of the capital lies Spiaggia del Poetto – a coastline of champagne-hued sands and rippling azure waters. Cagliari-Elmas Airport is also 36 miles from the resort.

Veridia Resort exudes a traditional village atmosphere, comprised of seven honey-hued buildings scattered across a vibrant garden. As you walk through the paths to the rooms, you’ll notice pink bougainvillea blossoms among the greenery and fragrant myrtle wafting through the air. Once you reach the rooms, a contemporary and tasteful aesthetic takes hold. Think cream-coloured walls, curtains and bedding. Best of all, floor-to-ceiling windows with wooden panels frame the flourishing gardens. Each room also features tea and coffee making facilities and a balcony or patio, so you can relish the garden views with a brew in hand.
