Costa Rei

A paradise for children and beach lovers

One of the main reasons the Costa Rei is so popular is that it caters to a wide variety of holiday interests. Young and old alike will find the perfect way to spend peaceful days under the southern sun.
For example, those looking to get active will find plenty of opportunities on the beach to try their hand at surfing, diving or beach volleyball.
A morning jog along the beach to greet the sunrise, or a ride on a road bike or mountain bike along the coastal road towards Villasimius – which offers no shortage of views of the offshore islands – are further highlights and therefore essential travel tips for a holiday on the Costa Rei.

Costa Rei: a dream beach – the perfect spot for families

The Costa Rei has been a very popular holiday destination for many years. Anyone looking for a holiday home in Sardinia will find a wide selection here. From affordable holiday flats to luxury villas with swimming pools – there is a wide range on offer, tailored above all to families.
Small, private residential areas have sprung up along the gently sloping beach, which is therefore absolutely ideal for children. Each has its own charm and, of course, complies with the island’s strict building regulations. Those seeking proximity to the beach will find their ideal spot in one of the holiday homes right by the sea. Families with young children in particular are drawn to this combination of being close to both the village and the beach.
Those who, on the other hand, are looking for more peace and quiet on their holiday will be happy to rent one of the houses with sea views, which can be found around the hills of Monte Nai – still close to the beach – and most of which offer a fabulous panoramic view of the picturesque coastline. The walk to the centre of Costa Rei is also easily managed on foot from here.

Tourism without the crowds

Thanks to the length of the beach, you can usually still find a quiet spot to sunbathe away from the beach access points and beach huts, even in the peak season. And by the way: most of Costa Rei Bay is a public beach. So you can lay out your towel and put up your parasol wherever you like. However, if you’d prefer to swap this kind of freedom for the convenience of hiring a sun lounger, you can do so without any problems in the designated beach areas.

The aim is to keep distances short

If the sun and a swim in the sea have really worked up your appetite, you can round off your day on the Costa Rei at one of the many restaurants. Whether it’s a pizzeria, a seafood restaurant or a place specialising in Sardinian cuisine – there’s a wide choice around the town centre.
On the way home, the piazza beckons with its market stalls and that typically Italian atmosphere of ‘going with the flow’, before, back at your holiday home, the tranquillity of the usually starry night sets the stage for dreams of your next summer’s day in Sardinia.
