Working remotely while gazing out at the sea is no longer just a dream. Workations in Sardinia — combining work and holidays — have become a reality for those who want to enjoy weeks of slow productivity, clean air and breathtaking sunsets. Many residences offer ideal spaces for working independently, with comfort and privacy.
In this article, you will discover the best areas and practical tips for organising your perfect workation in the heart of the Mediterranean.
Why choose Sardinia for a workation?
Sardinia is ideal for those who want to combine concentration and relaxation. The mild climate from March to November allows you to work with the window open and stroll on the beach after a call. Outside the high season, the cost of living is lower than in other European destinations, and digital connections are now reliable even in the smallest villages.
Here, time seems to slow down: a lunch break becomes a lunch with a sea view, and daily routines are filled with light, nature and silence. What’s more, many residences are equipped with fast Wi-Fi, shaded areas and verandas that are perfect for transforming your living room table into a desk with a sea view.
The best areas to work in Sardinia
Stintino and Porto Torres
The north-western area is perfect for those seeking absolute tranquillity. Stintino, famous for La Pelosa, offers silence and endless horizons in the low season. Here, residences with Wi-Fi are often surrounded by greenery and just a few minutes from the beaches. In Porto Torres, on the other hand, you have the advantage of direct connections to the peninsula and the services of a small town.
Palau and the La Maddalena Archipelago
The north-eastern area offers a balance between convenience and beauty. Palau is well connected, with frequent ferries to La Maddalena, and offers incredible views for rejuvenating breaks. La Maddalena itself is a small paradise: perfect for those who work remotely and seek inspiration between the sea and granite.
Gulf of Marinella and Costa Smeralda
From April to June and from September onwards, the Costa Smeralda returns to being a peaceful place. The Gulf of Marinella is ideal for those who want to combine stable Wi-Fi, services and restaurants open all year round, with the advantage of being close to Olbia (port and airport).
Saint Theodore and Budoni
In the north-east, San Teodoro and Budoni offer modern residences and endless beaches. Many accommodations have outdoor spaces where you can work al fresco. From here, you can easily organise trips to Tavolara or simple walks among the dunes and pine trees after work.
How to choose the right residence
You don’t need a large office: all you need is a stable connection, a comfortable desk and good natural light. The ideal residences for workations have high-speed Wi-Fi, shaded terraces and spacious rooms where you can alternate between work and relaxation.
Choose a property with private parking and a supermarket nearby: this will allow you to be independent.
Many professionals who have chosen workation say they are more productive: fewer distractions, more quality time, and the feeling of being on holiday even when in meetings.
