Where else can you swim lengths in the morning, stroll to a white-sand beach at lunchtime and spot pink flamingos in the afternoon? At S'Ena Arrubia Camping Village in Arborea, in central-western Sardinia, all three fit into one easy day. This 3-star holiday village covers about 12 hectares of centuries-old pine forest, right beside a protected lagoon.
What is there for the kids? Plenty. The 25 x 10 m semi-Olympic pool comes with a sunny solarium, and the beach at Marina di Arborea lies just 200 m away. In high season the animation team runs a mini club and evening shows, while sporty types can play football, tennis, beach volleyball and beach tennis. Windsurfers and kitesurfers will feel right at home on this coast.
A restaurant-pizzeria, a pool bar and a corner shop with local products keep holiday logistics wonderfully simple, and four-legged family members are welcome too, with their own play area and beach.
And beyond the gates? Central-western Sardinia puts both coasts and the island's interior within easy reach. Santa Cristina nuragic village and Tharros ancient city are 30 km away, Su Nuraxi in Barumini, a UNESCO site, is 50 km away, and Oristano is 20 km away. Toes in the sand, ancient history on the doorstep: book it with Vistacamp.
The heart of the campsite is an outdoor semi-Olympic pool measuring 25 x 10 m, free for all guests throughout the summer season. Around it stretches a generous solarium with gazebos, parasols and loungers, ideal for lazy mornings and long, sunny afternoons. Swimming caps are required in the pool and can be bought on site, and Bermuda-style swim shorts are accepted. Whether you like swimming lengths or simply floating with a good book, this is the perfect place to start your Sardinian holiday.
