Eco resort Baia di Chia Sardinia, the latest addition to the Hilton’s upscale Curio Collection (hilton. com), opens this summer on the southern tip of the Italian island. An hour’s drive from the capital Cagliari, the 77-room seafront resort is surrounded by lagoons, which are home to flocks of flamingos, while Chia’s beaches are considered to be the most beautiful in Sardinia.
It’s just a short stroll to the private beach club at Monte Cogoni beach, while Il Ginepro is a perfect restaurant for couples or families. Pool bar Il Canneto offers pizza and light bites, and Flow features Southeast Asian, Thai and sushi fusion cuisine. Doubles from £162 per night in a King Deluxe room.
