Cala Luas Resort

In Cardedu, a short drive from Torre di Bari and local sandy spots like Torre di Bari Beach and Cea Beach. Close to Alberto Loi Winery and local diving schools. A pet-friendly, family-friendly beach resort with a private beach and easy access to nearby attractions.

Opened in 2008 and inspired by Campidano farmhouses and Spanish 'posadas', the resort weaves courtyards, arches, wooden beams and small balconies into a low-key, nature-blended palette. There are 170 air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs, minibars, safes, desks and private bathrooms with showers and bidets. The property is seasonally closed between September 30 and June 2.

Head down to a private beach or take a dip in the outdoor pool. There’s an outdoor tennis court, poolside bar and an arcade/game room for after-sun fun. You’ll find a yoga area, karaoke, ping-pong, supervised childcare and a kids' playroom. Concierge and a tour desk can book local diving and excursions — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and walk straight to the shore.

Featured services include a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, laundry and a safe-deposit box at the front desk. Complimentary wireless internet and free self parking are available on site.

Dine at Genn e Mari or grab a casual bite at the snack bar/deli. There’s a bar/lounge and a poolside bar for sunset drinks. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily, and on-site outlets showcase local cuisine and regional flavors.
