Baglioni Resort Sardinia
sardegna, italy · ★★★★★
The Verdict
Worth it for your honeymoon?
Baglioni Resort Sardinia is the adults-only beach resort San Teodoro has been waiting for — 83 rooms, a long infinity pool facing Lu Impostu's ribbon of white sand, and the reassuring Italian polish of the Baglioni brand (Rome, Venice, London). It sits on the east coast about 40 minutes south of Olbia, a different Sardinia from the Costa Smeralda: fewer yachts, equally stunning beaches, noticeably lower prices. For honeymooners this is a strong value pick — the service is genuinely adult-focused, the Lu Impostu beach is one of the best in Sardinia, and dinners at Gusto by Sadler carry Michelin-level ambition without Porto Cervo markups.

Room Recommendation
Which room to book
A Pool & Garden View Deluxe is the sweet spot — ground-floor access to the gardens and a short stroll to the pool. For a honeymoon splurge, the Sea View Suite with private terrace overlooking Lu Impostu is the signature room. The Royal Suite has a private pool for once-in-a-lifetime budgets.

Day by Day
Your 7-night honeymoon itinerary
Arrival and welcome on Lu Impostu
Transfer from Olbia Costa Smeralda in about 40 minutes. Adults-only check-in, aperitivo delivered to your terrace, then a barefoot walk on Lu Impostu beach as the sun drops over Tavolara island.
Pool day and Gusto dinner
Morning at the infinity pool with espresso service, long Vermentino lunch on the terrace, afternoon yoga class or spa treatment, dinner at Gusto by Sadler (book on arrival).
Tavolara boat charter
The concierge arranges a private boat to nearby Tavolara island — dramatic limestone cliffs rising straight from the sea, lunch at Da Tonino on the island, swimming in the protected marine park.
Cala Brandinchi and La Cinta
The resort shuttle takes you to Cala Brandinchi (nicknamed 'Little Tahiti' for its white sand and turquoise shallows). Lunch at the beach, afternoon at nearby La Cinta, return for the pool sunset.
San Teodoro village and spa
Morning walk through San Teodoro's Sunday market, coffee on the piazza, return for a long couple's massage at the spa, sunset aperitivo at the pool bar.
Gallura wine country day
Drive 45 minutes inland for a Vermentino tasting at Siddùra or Capichera, lunch among the cork oaks, return for one last swim and a celebratory dinner on the terrace.
Lazy farewell
Late breakfast on the terrace, one more swim, and the car to Olbia. Many couples extend with two nights in the Costa Smeralda for contrast.
Honest Assessment
What to know before you book
Strictly adults-only (16+), so not a choice if you are combining a honeymoon with extended family.
Open seasonally — typically May through October only. Confirm exact dates before booking flights.
The beach is across a short path/road from the main building — not directly underneath. The shuttle runs continuously but it is worth knowing the layout.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum age for guests?
The resort is adults-only, currently 16 years and over. Confirm on booking as occasional exceptions apply in early spring and late autumn weeks.
How does it compare to Costa Smeralda hotels?
Baglioni is significantly quieter and roughly 30 to 50 percent less expensive than Cala di Volpe or Pitrizza. The beach (Lu Impostu) is arguably just as beautiful. You trade the Porto Cervo scene for calm.
Is breakfast included?
Typically yes in published rates, served on the main terrace with live cooking stations. Many couples also book the half-board package, which is strong value given the on-property dining quality.
Do we need a car?
Helpful. Beach shuttles are frequent, but a car lets you reach Cala Brandinchi, La Cinta, and Tavolara ferry on your own schedule.
Which airport?
Olbia Costa Smeralda (OLB), 40 minutes by car. Cagliari is too far (3 hours) for this resort.
Best months for a honeymoon?
Mid-June through mid-July, or the first three weeks of September. August is warm but busier and pricier. May and October are quiet but the sea is cooler.
