Forte Village Resort , Sardinia| Take the Family

The ultra luxurious beachfront resort of Forte Village in southern Sardinia is regularly voted World’s Leading Resort by the World Travel Awards. It is just a 45-minute journey from the airport and with it being such a huge complex we don't know if you will even find time to get out and explore all that the fabulous island of Sardinia has to offer.

Great for all ages, there is a 'Children's Wonderland’, teens’ complex and a whole host of sporting academies (some by well-known personalities) with many suitable for adults, including the table tennis, swimming and tennis, and a magic academy for those budding magicians amongst you.

Popular with footballers and other celebs, Forte Village comprises eight 4* and 5* hotels, a selection of ultra-luxurious villas, and 20+ bars and restaurants, so isn’t for those seeking intimate family holidays and breaks. On-site also is a shop where you can by all baby and child essentials, plus there is a medical facility open 24/7 which tends to bring peace of mind when travelling with kids.
