Staying at the Arbatax Park Resort allows you to immerse yourself in the nature and sea of eastern Sardinia. Here, you'll have the opportunity to discover one of the island's most authentic regions. Just a few kilometers from the resort, Ogliastra preserves its heritage of small villages, centuries-old traditions, and landscapes that reflect the authentic soul of Sardinia.
Among the most fascinating destinations is Gairo Vecchio, the charming ghost town abandoned after the flood that struck the area in the 1950s. Its stone houses, quiet alleys, and ruins that blend into the landscape tell visitors of a place suspended in time, revealing a page in local history.
Not far away, Tortolì is the heart of Ogliastra life. The area combines tradition and modernity through its markets, squares, shops, and typical flavors, offering an authentic glimpse into the local culture.
For those wishing to explore the hinterland, Baunei offers some of Sardinia's most evocative views. Perched between the sea and the mountains, this village commands enchanting views of the Gulf of Orosei and retains a strong connection to the pastoral history of these lands.
An immersive experience awaits guests in Ulassai, a place where art and nature are in constant dialogue. The town, known for its connection with the artist Maria Lai and for the numerous works scattered throughout the city, offers a cultural journey immersed in a natural and captivating setting, passed down from generation to generation.
After a day spent exploring narrow streets, churches, murals, and encounters with local communities, returning to the Arbatax Park Resort allows you to continue experiencing Ogliastra. In these lands, time slows down: every stroll through the streets, every encounter with the locals becomes an opportunity to discover the genuine hospitality, local crafts, and folk festivals that keep the identity of this extraordinary land alive.
A holiday that invites you to connect with Sardinia's true identity. Your stay becomes an invitation to slow down, to find refuge and tranquility. Every day balances relaxation, adventure, and history.
