Family holidays to Sardinia are as good as they get. Beautiful beaches? SÌ – lots and lots of them. Scenic Mediterranean island backdrops? Certamente – and ripe for exploring. Kid-friendly dishes? Certo – Italy’s tastiest dishes (aka pizza, pasta and gelato) are yours for the taking!
Best time to go? With temperatures in the 20s from April to October, peaking in July and August, Sardinia is as good a choice for a sunshiny half-term break as it is a sizzling summer getaway. Top tip: book early to get more bang for your buck.

Sardinia’s capital, Cagliari, is like a family holiday pick ‘n’ mix. Top up your tan on the unbelievably beautiful Poetto beach, spend a morning sizing up the cacti at Orto Botanico or take a hike to the 14th-century Santuario and Basilica di Nostra Signora di Bonaria to unleash your spiritual side (and get a sweat on).
With its seven-mile stretch of white sand, there are plenty of places for you and your kids to fling your towels in Costa Rei. To earn your snooze in the sun, sign up for a kayak tour, rent a paddle board or get tugged behind a speed boat before hitting the beach for a spot of sunbathing.
If your clan is more out and about than fly and flop, book a family holiday to Alghero. Here you can walk along Roman walls, go underground at Neptune’s Caves and take to the Med to watch whales and detect dolphins. And yes, there are beaches here, too – head for the silky white sands of Spiaggia di Maria Pia and thank us later.
