Arriving at Baia dei Mori Beachclub you’re struck by the relaxed vibe. Take a stroll on winding paths through the dunes to the beach. The clear turquoise water lapping at your feet will instantly wash away thoughts of home. It's situated on the north east coast of the Italian island of Sardinia, to the south of the famous Costa Smeralda

We include a wide range of activities in your holiday. If you’re into road cycling, you’ll be in your element. On road or off road, it's the best cycling on offer in any of our beachclubs. It can get pretty breezy too, so it’s just great for water sports, especially sailing and windsurfing.  You can also kitesurf at a nearby beach (non inclusive activity), when the wind blows the conditions are great.

Activities on the water

Dinghy sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and stand up paddle boarding are all inclusive water sports, and for a little extra you can also give kitesurfing a go.  

The sweeping bay with soft, fine sand and clear, warm water is picture perfect. Get down there early, grab a stand up paddle board or kayak and head out. The pine-fringed bay is undeveloped with  beautiful views all around and the vista so vast you’ll feel like paddling for miles.

The water is shallow and still, making it the perfect place to learn to windsurf or sail. Once your confidence grows, there’s more of a breeze further out and a vast expanse of water just waiting to be explored.

Wind conditions

The wind typically picks up in the middle of the day between around 11am and 3pm. It blows cross to cross off-shore most days. The typical wind force ranges from 3-4 with the most consistent conditions in June, July and August.

Activities on the shore

There's even more on the shore, join us for road cycling, mountain biking, tennis coaching and fitness classes, all are included, just dip-in and dip-out as you please.

If you’re happiest in the saddle then Sardinia’s road cycling won’t let you down. Roads climb in sweeping curves through the rugged mountains, with spectacular views of valleys and coastlines that make the thigh burn worth every second. If you’re new to the sport, or want to give it a go, there are flatter road routes too.

If you prefer riding off-road then the mountain biking ranges from flat beginner routes to technical climbs and challenging descents. There's some great wildlife off the beaten track - keep your eyes peeled for countless birds, butterflies and lizards.  If you want to get out and ride as a family, you'll find a great choice of bikes and rides suitable for children over 13 years.

Rest and relaxation

Need some time away from all the activities? Chill out by the pool or visit our new treatment rooms for some pampering. Massage, facial, body scrub, whatever your preference, we have spa packages which can be pre-booked before travel, with savings of up to 25%. Treatments can also be booked at the beachclub.

Food and drink

It’s club board with an Italian touch at Baia del Mori Beachclub (breakfast and lunch every day, plus four evening meals per week). There's an oven for freshly baked pizza and nothing feels like too much trouble for the friendly local team. The restaurant area is large and conveniently placed in the centre of the beachclub where you’ll be dining al fresco under welcome shade.

Rooms

The rooms are all on one level, each with a small terrace and set within the shady gardens, dotted with sweet-smelling pine trees. Whether you’re nearer the tennis courts or the pool, it’s only a short walk to the central restaurant and reception area.

Families and kids

The beach is perfect for little ones, with soft sand for building sandcastles and warm shallow water to splash around in. In the heat of the day, the shade of the pine trees makes a perfect world for mini-adventures and the sand dunes are fun to explore. We also have a selection of bikes for children from four to fourteen years.

Make the most of the inclusive Neilson-run kids’ clubs for two to 17 year olds where you can set your children free with our team of friendly, energetic and expertly trained supervisors. There's also the Starfish crèche for babies up to 23 months old, which is available for a supplement. Make sure your children don't miss out, pre-book before you go to secure a space in the club they want.

If you're travelling with babies or toddlers don't forget to ask about cots, baby baths and push chairs. For families, there's even a 24-hour baby room, where you can make feeds, warm milk and sterilise bottles.   

Local area

Sardina feels a little like Italy has taken a holiday. Sitting in the Mediterranean Sea, its sandy beaches, deep turquoise waters and rugged mountainous interior are breathtaking. 

If you want to explore, a 15-minute drive south from the beachclub is the ancient village of Posada. Set atop a cliff, and adorned with trees, the winding streets offer picturesque scenes at every turn. The 360-degree views from the Castello della Fava at the top of the village are stunning.
