SSS di i hSardinianhaven! Aft j t! Afterjusta

ttwo-hour flight and a 60-minute

ttransfer, we were at the stunning

RResortValle dell’Erica Thalasso &

SSPA5*, which felt a million miles

aaway from home.

Situated on the coastwith

eight secluded beach coves, this

traditional-style resorthas oodles

of rustic charm and alaid-back

vibe. There are four (yes, four!)

swimming pools on site foryou to

cooloff fromtheItalian sunshine.

The swim-upbar was ourpersonal

fave (obvs!).As if that wasn’t choice

enouugh,the resort alsoboasts five

ddifferent restaurants. The only

qquestion is, which one will you

ttryout first?

We spent our first afternoon

checkingout the incredible spa

relaxing in one of the outdoor

pools withthe sunbeamingdown

was the most fantastic start to our

trip. The next few days involved

sunning, relaxing, and, of course,

wining and dining. Well, it wouldn’t

be an Italian tripwithoutpasta and

wine,would it?! On that note,the

Sardinian sparkling wine called

Torbato is uh-mazing a must try.

On our final day we tooka

private speedboat ride around

thearchipelagotoexplore some of

Sardinia’sbestbeaches. It wasn’t

longbefore we were jumpingoff

the boat into the gorgeously warm

waters. We swam upto the nearest

desertedbeachtobepresented

withan endless strip of unspolit,

golden sand. Hello, paradise! I

even had to add #nofilter to my

Instagram pics, so that everyone

would know it was the real deal.

If you’re looking for an island

getawaythat doesn’t involve long-

haul, Sardinia could be the perfect

paradisedestination...
