Is Molas Golf Club
Just outside Cagliari, Is Molas is one of Sardinia's enduring golf addresses
Just outside Cagliari, Is Molas is one of Sardinia's enduring golf addresses: expansive, sunlit and wrapped in the scent of myrtle and Mediterranean scrub. The championship course unfolds across rolling ground with long views that, on clear days, stretch all the way to the sea, creating that rare feeling of an international resort that still feels unmistakably Italian. This is a strategic course rather than a brute-force test: tee shots must be placed with discipline, greens carry subtle movement, bunkers are purposeful and the breeze is never merely background scenery. Around it, private villas, easy luxury and a slower island rhythm encourage guests to stay for several days rather than rush through a single round. Is Molas does not rely on spectacle; its appeal is quieter and far more durable, built on space, light and golf that rewards intelligence. For travellers seeking the polished side of southern European resort golf, it remains one of Sardinia's defining destinations.
Prenota il primo tee time del mattino e resta fino al tramonto: Is Molas cambia carattere con la luce, e il vento del pomeriggio rende la seconda partita completamente diversa dalla prima.

Nora: la Città Romana Sommersa
Nora is the first city founded by the Phoenicians in Sardinia (8th century BC) and later Roman: the oldest part is submerged in the waters of the Pula bay. The Nora Diving Centre organises private underwater visits to the 1st-3rd century AD submerged buildings: you swim among Roman columns 3-4 metres deep with fish inhabiting the capitals.
“Diver Gianluca Piras knows the location of the 1st-century polychrome mosaic still on the seabed: it is not marked on official maps and the Maritime Carabinieri patrol the area. Those who come are warned the mosaic is not to be touched: look and pass.”
Mesa: Carignano del Sulcis Verticale
Carignano del Sulcis is Sardinia's oldest grape: brought by the Phoenicians 2,800 years ago, it survives on free-standing marine bush vines ungrafted 80-100 years old in the Sulcis municipalities. Mesa produces the Buio — pure Carignano — which with 15-20 years ageing develops black cherry, ferrous earth, and Sardinian root liquorice notes. The private vertical begins from 1995.
“Sebastiano Rosa leads to the marine vineyards of Sant'Anna Arresi at dawn: the ungrafted free-standing vines grow low on salty sand 50 metres from the sea. The marine wind salt literally enters the cluster — you taste it in the wine as a sea salt finish.”
Terme di Sardara: il Pozzo Sacro Nuragico
The Terme di Sardara stand above a 9th-century BC Nuragic sacred well: the thermal spring was used by the Nuragic people as a place of worship. The internal museum preserves the votive bronzetti found in the well. The 45°C bicarbonate-calcium waters are certified for rheumatic disease treatment: the therapeutic mud is matured 60 days in the spring.
“Museum archaeologist Dr Marras guides private visits to the original sacred well beneath the baths at 8:00 AM: you descend 3 metres into the basalt tholos structure where the Nuragic people offered votive bronzetti to the water. Temperature rises 2°C per metre of descent.”
