Sardinia, just like any other place in Italy, is a romantic destination. Over the years, it's become a popular choice for honeymooners to spend some alone time right after they got married. And the fact that it is its own individual island makes it even more of a romantic hotspot. Like you're really in a world where it's just you and your soulmate! However, while it's up to you to make any place romantic, there are certain places on the island that are easier to set the mood on. From rustic cities to natural escapes, here are some of the most romantic areas in Sardinia.
Bosa
Dusty pastel hues against the pale twilight of the Mediterranean sunset? Now that's a truly romantic scene. And the quaint village of Bosa is just that exact setting. An
Instagrammable spot unlike any other, this charming town presents a quirky side to the Sardinia region. But with its narrow pathways, cobblestone streets, charming cafes, and the like, it's also one huge romantic date location. You can spend an entire day here with your significant partner and you won't get bored. And what's stopping you from partaking in some intimate
tête-à-tête in one of the more secluded corners?

Carloforte
Carloforte is the type of seaside town that you'll find in classic romance movies. From Federico Fellini to William Wyler, old-school Hollywood directors will have a field day setting up their shots in this place. And it's that vintage and classic feel that makes Carloforte such a romantic hotspot. Firstly, the coast here is breathtaking. Take a stroll on the seaside walkways, especially during sunset, and bask in the effervescent glow of the Mediterranean. You'll also want to talk hand-in-hand along the many narrow streets here, many of which tell the story of local life in Sardinia.

Cagliari
Cagliari, the capital city of Sardinia, is one of the biggest and definitely the busiest on the island. It's also the most common point of entry since taking a flight to the airport here is one of the easiest ways to
get to Sardinia. So with all that said, why would Cagliari be one of the most romantic areas on the island? A romantic mood doesn't always have to be intimate. You can get to know a lot about your significant other when you navigate a big city with them. Of course, Cagliari isn't as bustling as the likes of Rome and Milan though!

Olbia Vineyards
The city of Olbia is also a common point of entry since it houses one of the island's three main airports. But the reason why this place is one of the most romantic in Sardinia isn't the same as with Cagliari. Olbia has a different ace up its sleeve: the vineyards. Just like in Tuscany in mainland Italy, Olbia is home to big vineyards. Though they're not as well-manicured nor as vast as those in Tuscany, they emanate the same spirit and produce just as excellent wine. Of course, it's the wine, especially when paired with
Sardinian delicacies, that will make for a great date!

Chia Coastline
Now, let's get to the beaches. After all, when it comes to honeymooning in Sardinia, those are often the main highlights! First up are the beautiful coastlines of Chia in southern Sardinia. Thanks to its location, these are some of the most peaceful and practically remote beaches on the island. You can even find a spot on the beach that's so secluded, you can get as intimate as you want here. Though there are also a few resort areas where you can guarantee a comfortable stay as well. Whichever you choose, one thing's for sure: in Chia, you'll feel like it's only you and your significant other that are left in the world.

Alghero Beaches
How about the beaches in Alghero? What makes them romantic? The mere fact that they're some of the most beautiful shorelines you'll ever see. Clear waters, white sands, fascinating rock formations or sand dunes in the area, and the bright Mediterranean sun shining gown on you! Can you picture a more romantic scene than this? Though the coastlines in Chia may be more peaceful and serene, Alghero beaches provide the most stunning views. Imagine ending the day by watching the sunset on any of these beautiful shorelines? That'll be a romantic moment you will never forget!
