The 2026 Flights Revolution: Sardinia has never been closer
The 2026 tourist season marks a historic turning point for Sardinia. With a calendar that increasingly stretches from spring to autumn, the island is preparing to welcome travelers from all over the world with unprecedented ease.
Alghero airport aims to surpass the historic milestone of 2 million passengers, introducing dozens of new international routes (including Amsterdam and Paris). But the real news that redraws the geography of travel is the new direct Olbia - New York flight operated by Delta Air Lines starting May 21st.
A warm welcome to our American guests! If you are arriving from the United States, get ready to discover an island that combines the luxury of modern comfort with the charm of millennia-old traditions. At Villa Malvasio, we are ready to welcome you with international hospitality standards and impeccable assistance to make you feel right at home.
The North-West: A Paradise of Caribbean Beaches, Wild Islands, and Nightlife
Landing in North Sardinia means having access to the most varied and fascinating area of the island. Just a short distance from our "base camp," you can explore true corners of paradise.
If you dream of white sand and crystal-clear waters, the Stintino peninsula awaits you with the world-famous La Pelosa beach. If, on the other hand, you are looking for an unspoiled adventure, the Island of Asinara (a former penal colony and now a National Park) offers a wild experience among white donkeys, history, and nature. And for the evening? Alghero is the extraordinary destination that everyone agrees on: young people looking for lively clubs or senior travelers who simply want to decompress by strolling along the historic ramparts with a glass of chilled white wine at sunset.
