Aethos Sardinia is a laid-back, high-end hideaway set on the hillside above the sea in Cannigione, with wide views across the bay towards the Costa Smeralda. You’re close enough to wander down to the water and the harbour, but the hotel itself feels tucked away and quiet, which makes it easy to properly switch off. The vibe is grown-up and relaxed, more about long lunches and slow afternoons than a busy resort scene. Days here usually revolve around the pools and the coastline. There are two pool areas (both seawater), plus a poolside bar for easy drinks and light bites without leaving your sunbed for long. When you feel like heading out, beaches and boat trips are close by, and Porto Cervo is an easy drive for a change of pace. It’s a great fit if you want Sardinia’s best colours and coast, with comfort and calm built in.
