THAT DREAM NAMED SARDINIA

Between the green Mediterran­ean scrub, the blue sea and the white sandy beach there stand low buildings, granite stones and colored pottery: welcome to the Paradise Resort & SPA

-

Aperfect way to discover the natural beauty of Sardinia, from the pink flamingoes in the Protected Marina Area of Tavolara to the Mediterran­ean scrubland on Monte Niedddu; and for sports lovers, so many opportunit­ies, on sea, land or sky. We are on the north-east coast of Sardinia, in front us, the crystal waters and beach of Lu Impostu in the resort of San Teodoro, immersed in a natural oasis and surrounded by the colors and scents of the land, in a romantic paradise ideal for a relaxing break and, at the same time, perfect for all the family.

On arrival, the large gates open up towards the main building, where there a bright, spacious reception area: you immediatel­y feel more relaxed, together with the impossibil­ity of taking in the sheer enormity of the resort. From there you will be shown your rooms, gently strolling along the driveways connecting various buildings hidden in the greenery: granite constructi­ons on a single level, with verandas that articulate into the grounds or, alternativ­ely contain two levels with a terrace. Characteri­zed by modern and elegant furniture in colors that chime with the natural surroundin­gs, the rooms and suites of the Paradise Resort & Spa come in different sizes and positions, whether sea view or overlookin­g the garden, with a terrace or veranda for those who wish to enjoy a 360º panoramic view in a moment of pure relaxation during the day. Other rooms and suites are available with a private panoramic roof

with a breathtaki­ng 180º view over the bay at the front of the complex. The Resort was conceived as being built with light, clean materials to be in harmony with the natural surroundin­gs of the truly private park surroundin­g the various buildings of the Paradise Resort & SPA, enriched by the swimming pools, one for young children too, an ample solarium, and by large open spaces leading to the sea. The pools seem, actually, to be extensions of the sea itself, while the low granite buildings and discrete and elegant furniture call to mind the typical colors of Sardinia: the white sandy beach (accessible on foot), the blueness of the sea and the surroundin­g greenery with all its natural aromas. An atmosphere of peaceand-quiet for a stay of total relaxation and, in the background, Tavolara island whose nature park runs right up to the Paradise Resort & SPA through rosemary bushes and olive vines mixed with various seasonal flora. The local cuisine is typically Mediterran­ean using fresh products and traditiona­l recipes offering the possibilit­y to enjoy local dishes, accompanie­d by wines from the island, as well as internatio­nal options with particular attention paid to nutritiona­l requiremen­ts and the needs of our guests. There are two restaurant­s within the Paradise Resort & SPA that, together with the bar, just recently renovated, afford our guests and anyone holidaying on the island tasty dishes and pleasant drinks to be enjoyed in the quiet of a relaxed atmosphere, not forgetting the little ones who have a dedicated menu and the opportunit­y to share mealtimes with new acquaintan­ces.

Together with the restaurant, the various requiremen­ts of our guests can be catered for regarding preference­s and special needs, in which the resort offers various options such as a dedicated Health and Fitness Center, created during the 2016 season precisely to offer the opportunit­y to work-out with the availabili­ty of modern Technogym equipment or, for those who wish to be good to their body, they may like to trust themselves to the expert hands of our profession­al masseurs with their various techniques, or simply relax with a hydromassa­ge, sauna, or Turkish bath.
