Forte Village Resort - Villa del Parco & Spa

On Sardinia’s Cagliari coastline in Santa Margherita di Pula, this 5-star beach resort sits minutes from Spiaggia di Santa Margherita di Pula and Riva dei Pini Beach, with easy drives to the Archaeological Area of Nora and Chia’s famous beaches — a family-friendly oasis wrapped in tropical gardens.

Set across lush 25-hectare gardens with a mild microclimate, rooms and suites are air-conditioned and feature minibars, flat-screen TVs, laptop-compatible safes, private bathrooms with shower/tub combos and large terraces overlooking the gardens.

Pamper at the full-service spa, splash in seven outdoor pools, stroll to the private beach, play tennis or dive at the on-site club — plus mini-golf, bowling, an aquapark and kids’ playroom; wake up to sea-breeze mornings and endless garden paths.

A business center, complimentary wireless internet, 24-hour front desk and dry cleaning keep things smooth, with valet parking onsite and a roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

Ristorante Belvedere serves international cuisine and the resort offers roughly 20 restaurants, 8 bars and 3 poolside bars — including Oasis poolside breakfasts and the hearty Pineta buffet dinners; a complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 7:30–10:00.
