Program
Escape to the beauty of northern Sardinia for a relaxing 7-night yoga holiday, where you can immerse yourself in nature and the peaceful countryside setting surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea. Each morning you will awaken with an energising yoga practice of vinyasa and hatha flow styles. As the day unfolds you can enjoy gentle walks along the coastlines, reading your book by the pool or swimming in the turquoise sea. In the evening, enjoy a slower practice of yin and Restorative yoga, allowing your body and mind to fully relax meaning you can return home feeling like you have had a reset.
Your venue on AdventureYogi Sardinia yoga retreat is tucked away in the countryside near the charming town of Santa Teresa di Gallura. The venue is in two stunning villas overlooking the sea, offering breathtaking views stretching to Corsica. With a private pool, sunny panoramic terraces, and shaded outdoor spaces, this remote villa invites you to fully relax. Surrounded by nature and away from the business of daily life, this is your chance to slow down and feel refreshed and recharged.
This yoga holiday in Sardinia offers a selection of guided walks and activities, allowing you to explore the north of Sardinia at your own pace. Join a scenic walk to the beachside town of Vignola Mare to dip your toes in the sea and enjoy an ice cream, and on another day, AdventureYogi provides a transfer in the other direction to discover the coastline of Badesi, where you can relax on the beach, or even try some water-sports. A highlight is a visit to the infamous Capo Testa and Valle della Luna – a spiritual spot on the north coast.
On their yoga holiday, they place all of the included activities near the beginning of the week, leaving the final days free for you to do as you please. They can help arrange additional excursions, including a breathtaking boat trip around the Maddalena Archipelago, famous for its turquoise waters and beaches, or a visit to the shores of Porto Pollo, where you will find restaurants, sunbeds, and watersports. If you are looking to visit beaches that are more peaceful, there are a lot of beaches between the villa and Santa Teresa, These beaches are remote and surrounded by nature, so make sure you bring a hat and suncream as they don’t have sunbeds. We can help you arrange taxis to the above destinations.
The food in this yoga retreat is locally sourced vegetarian meals prepared by their Sardinian chef, with options for vegan and other dietary preferences. Wake up to a delicious breakfast, enjoy a leisurely brunch, and end the day with a nourishing evening meal. AdventureYogi's Sardinia yoga holiday in September is one of the best times to visit Sardinia as the crowds that pack the beaches in July and August have gone home, the beaches are quiet, and the weather remains sunny but not too hot – making it ideal for both relaxation and activities.
Join them this September on their beach yoga holiday in Sardinia, and find out more about their Italy yoga destinations there.

Sustainability
AdventureYogi is working towards reducing its carbon footprint. They are an 88% vegan company, 10% vegetarian, and 2% fish or meat (only when staying in boutique hotels that offer these options). This makes up a huge percentage of carbon emissions that we easily avoid because our food is still delicious, balance,d and creative. So, thanks to you all for enjoying our healthy (mostly) plant-based meals.
They stay primarily in one location for the duration of the retreat. They have started staying in a few locations on their long haul, but it is limited to 2 or 3 locations over an 8 – 10 night period. Staying in one place means low carbon emissions because we aren’t burning fuel to get around.
Included excursions
- Transport to Santa Teresa for a day out
- Transfer to Badesi town, enjoy the beach and views of the coastline
- Take a walk along the coastal path to Vignola Mare and enjoy the beach
Retreat location
Sardinia is a beautiful Island in the Mediterranean just south of Corsica and north of Sicily famed for its pristine beaches and white sand. Villa Portobello is situated in the northeast corner of the Island and on the north coast, near Capo Testa and the vibrant town of Santa Teresa Di Gallura.
They are in the region of Gallura which is known for its local pastries, wines and cheeses, history, and culture. Gallura means ‘stony’ and this area has a lot of granite rocks that have been weathered and shaped by the elements to make particular shapes.
They are also located near the Archipelago Della Maddelena Islands, where one of the areas to swim is called ‘La Piscina’ which means the swimming pool because of its turquoise color. A day on a boat around these islands is a must-do.
This corner of Sardinia is protected and so no building is allowed 10 kilometers from the coast and so it has remained the same for over 30 years. Be prepared to be wowed by the waters, the beaches, and the local Sardinian hospitality.
