SARDINIA: SAILING THE SCENIC ROUTE
CORSICA | THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA | SARDINIA
With an end destination that’s long been a sought-after spot to step ashore, even we know when it’s best to overlook the road less travelled.
A super-yachting paradise awaits
Among the first, and today the coveted address on one of Italy’s most exclusive coastlines, Cala di Volpe is the place to be on Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda. A legacy beginning in the 1960s and planning to continue far into the future, its longevity is something of an inspiration for this particular itinerary.
Best for those in search of the kind of high-end luxury that unshakeable reputations tend to precede, a sense of classic indulgence is a running theme en route to the Sardinian shorelines. Naturally, we couldn’t resist adding a little anticipation to this trip, which starts on the neighbouring isle of Corsica. Two days to unwind on private sands set the tone for a seven-day stay aboard your very own private yacht. Of course, you’ll take the long way round to the Emerald Coast, in a week on glistening waters followed by another on land that centre on a rather Mediterranean ‘blue zone’ mentality. Mirroring those that live long past their centenary year, expect to simply spend time together at ease, with active pursuits available at your leisure, exemplary food and the finest wines.
