If you are looking for an unusual and affordable holiday in Sardinia, the Montiferru area could be just right for you

In this area of the island’s western coast, among white cliffs, semi-deserted beaches and unspoiled nature, stands Felix Hotels La Baja, overlooking the beautiful Bay of Santa Caterina di Pittinuri. Here we suggest a “smart” way to experience Sardinia: choose less crowded periods like May and June 2026, when the island reveals its most authentic and relaxed side.

Why choose May or June 2026 for your holiday in Sardinia?

Planning your holiday in Sardinia during this time of year is a smart choice for those seeking an authentic, sustainable and relaxing experience.

Here’s why these months are ideal:

• Perfect temperatures: mild weather, swimmable sea, long and bright days.
• Few crowds: almost deserted beaches, peace and quiet, easy parking, and more availability of services.
• Great rates: hotels and flights at better prices, with special offers for travelers choosing the “smart” periods.
• Authentic experiences: direct contact with locals, zero-kilometre products, and small group excursions.

A Sardinian holiday that offers quality, space, relaxation and authenticity, far from the hustle of the busiest months.

Why choose Montiferru and the western coast?
For the charm of an undiscovered Sardinia

The Montiferru is an ancient volcanic massif dominating the central-western part of the island, with peaks exceeding a thousand meters and gently sloping down to the sea. Its rugged rocks, dense oak and cork forests, and the contrast with the blue sea create a landscape of rare beauty. The Montiferru coast, alternating stunning beaches and white cliffs, is still largely undiscovered and untouched by mass tourism: a succession of cliffs, small pebble coves and crystal-clear bays where, for most of the year, silence reigns—broken only by the mistral wind and the sound of the waves.

Human presence here, though ancient, has remained deeply respectful of the environment. Nature still dominates the scene: oak and cork forests, stone villages, old paths leading to the sea, and landscapes where the gaze wanders between sky and cliffs. It’s a little-known Sardinia that preserves its original charm and offers genuine travel experiences: tastings of local cheeses and oils, meetings with artisans, and walks among dry-stone walls and ancient nuraghi. Facing an open sea that resembles the ocean and often stirred by a strong mistral, it offers spectacular views and a truly unique atmosphere. The intense scents of Mediterranean scrub and fiery sunsets over the sea are perfect for those seeking a holiday of peace and wild beauty.

This stretch of coastline alternates sandy beaches and cliffs, offering an extraordinary variety of natural settings. From white, fine-sand beaches to the dazzling white cliffs of S’Archittu, every view offers emotion and uniqueness. It’s the perfect destination for those who wish to enjoy a Sardinian holiday in an unusual yet engaging way. From the coast to the small towns like Cuglieri, Santu Lussurgiu or Seneghe, every corner tells a story of authenticity.

Natural wonders not to be missed

Here’s a short list of viewpoints and natural sites of extraordinary beauty in Montiferru, some well known and others still little explored:

• S’Archittu – a natural arch sculpted by the sea, symbol of the western coast. At sunset, it glows golden and offers one of the most evocative views on the island.
• Capo Nieddu Waterfall (Istrampu de Cabu Nieddu) – a waterfall plunging directly into the sea from volcanic cliffs: a unique spectacle in Sardinia.
• Sos Molinos Waterfall – nestled in the Montiferru woods, it’s reached by a short walk among ferns, springs and Mediterranean fragrances.
• Monte Sos Paris – the ultimate panoramic point: from here you can admire the Montiferru coast and, on clear days, even glimpse the Sinis peninsula.

Ideal places for those who love light trekking, nature photography and slow tourism, away from the usual routes.

Staying at Felix Hotels La Baja means choosing comfort and high-level hospitality without giving up closeness to unspoiled nature.

Santa Caterina di Pittinuri: the enchanting bay

The Bay of Santa Caterina di Pittinuri is one of the most fascinating places on the western coast. Overlooked by the Aragonese tower of Pittinuri, the bay alternates limestone cliffs and sandy beaches. Its crystal-clear waters invite you to swim, snorkel, or simply enjoy the view.
The atmosphere is relaxed and authentic: even in the middle of summer, Santa Caterina retains a quiet charm, far from the busiest tourist flows. It’s the perfect place for those who wish to reconnect with nature and the slow rhythm of traditional Sardinia.
