Why We Chose South Sardinia as Our Next Sail and Yoga Retreat Destination

Sail&Yoga

After years of exploring familiar waters around South of France and Cote d’Azur, we felt a deep urge for change. It was time to step out of our comfort zone and chart a new course—not just for ourselves, but for the journey we share with everyone who joins our yoga sailing retreats. We set sails and navigated towards Sardinia, with the idea of finding the perfect area to host us for next year. After crossing the Mediterranean, navigating along Corsica, exploring North Sardinia (beautiful, though too posh, over-constructed and built for celebrities), our adventure led us to South Sardinia, a place that feels like a perfect fit for our philosophy and dreams. We are excited to tell you more on why we chose it as our new destination.

A New Chapter of Adventure Begins in South Sardinia

For us, South Sardinia represents the start of something bigger. It’s the first step on a path toward exploring the heart of the Mediterranean, with dreams of one day venturing further South, then East. This choice wasn’t just about finding a new destination—it was about embracing a new journey. Exploring South Sardinia felt like rediscovering the joy of simplicity—sailing its quiet bays and untouched landscapes reminded us why we chose this lifestyle in the first place. Beyond this sense of alignment, we were amazed by how the region offers everything we envisioned for our South Sardinia yoga sailing retreats: the tranquility of remote bays, the raw beauty of Sardinia’s wilder side, and quite spots immersed in nature for yoga practice!

Hidden Gems and Stunning Landscapes

While all of Sardinia is beautiful, South Sardinia has a unique charm that captivated us. The wilder landscapes and quieter, less-crowded spots gave us a sense of peace and connection that felt perfectly aligned with our retreats.

One of our favorite discoveries is Isolotto di San Macario, a small island near Pula crowned with an old tower. It’s not a touristy place, and its secluded beauty makes it an ideal yoga spot. Imagine practicing yoga here with no one else around, the sound of the waves as your soundtrack, and the tower standing guard over the scene (see image). These are the kinds of experiences we can’t wait to share with you.

Another highlight is Tuerredda Bay: early mornings there makes you feel you woke up in paradise. Before the beaches fill with visitors, the bay is completely serene. Waking up here feels like the world has stopped, offering a moment to truly connect with nature.

Why South Sardinia Felt Aligned with Us

Choosing South Sardinia was surely about its beauty, but not only that: it’s about how it reflects everything what we like. This region offers:

  • Simplicity and Authenticity: The places we found are natural and simple. They’re beautiful not because they’re flashy but because they’re real. This simplicity mirrors the philosophy of our yoga sailing retreats.
  • Perfect Yoga Spots: Quiet bays, remote beaches, and breathtaking coastal views provide the ideal setting for practicing yoga. Whether at sunrise, sunset, or under the stars, every session here feels deeply connected to nature.
  • A Sense of Fulfillment: Waking up anchored in a tranquil bay, surrounded by nothing but nature, makes us feel like we have everything we need from life.
  • Excellent Sailing Conditions: South Sardinia offers gentle summer breezes for smooth sailing and sheltered bays for peaceful nights at anchor.
  • Rich Culture and Cuisine: Sardinian traditions are deeply rooted in connection with the land and sea. We’re excited to share the island’s culture and delicious food with you during our retreats.
