Sardinia shelters some of the Mediterranean’s most unspoilt coastlines: powder‑soft dunes, turquoise waters and villages where age‑old traditions still thrive. Preserving this heritage is also the traveller’s responsibility. This guide shows you how to plan a low‑impact yet luxurious getaway, choosing environmentally respectful villas, low‑emission activities and simple everyday habits.


Why Choose Sustainable Travel in Sardinia

Searches on the Lion Holiday Sardinia website reveal a rising demand for “green” stays, and the island—with its marine parks, nature reserves and lively farming culture—is an ideal destination for guests who want top comfort without compromising the environment.


Villas & Apartments: 4 Key Checks Before You Book

  1. Local materials & integrated design  Homes built in Sardinian stone or responsibly sourced wood blend into the Mediterranean scrub and offer superior thermal insulation.

  2. Usable outdoor areas  Gardens planted with native species and salt‑water pools reduce chemical use and enhance open‑air living.

  3. Responsible waste management  Make sure the property provides clearly labelled recycling bins and guidance for guests.

  4. Short‑supply‑chain services  Catering, private chefs or excursions that involve local producers cut transport emissions and support the regional economy.

🔍 Example: Villa I Banani offers generous outdoor spaces, a private pool and a built‑in barbecue set in a Mediterranean garden—ideal for enjoying nature in style.
