Italian island with Caribbean-clear water
A rugged Mediterranean island known for the Costa Smeralda's billionaire bays — but go to the south or west for empty beaches that look Caribbean, plus 4,000-year-old nuraghi stone towers.




Rent a car (essential); ferries from mainland.
Rent a 4x4 — the best beaches require dirt roads.
Very safe.
Costa Smeralda clubs (Billionaire); Cagliari old town for relaxed.
