Today is the day of arrival in Olbia, where you will be met and privately transferred to the most gorgeous stretches of the Costa Smeralda – the Emerald coast.

Truly one of the Mediterranean’s most sought-after gems, this island was famously ‘discovered’ by the Aga Khan, who instigated measures to preserve the area’s natural beauty. Nestled along the island’s northern coast lies our destination, Seven Pines Resort, a refined seaside retreat that captures the timeless glamour of Sardinia. Surrounded by fragrant Mediterranean gardens and overlooking a pristine white-sand beach with crystal-clear waters, Seven Pines is an elegant beachfront retreat where the island’s natural beauty meets contemporary Mediterranean luxury. Thoughtfully integrated into a landscape of centuries-old rock formations, lush gardens, and secluded coves overlooking the crystalline waters near the La Maddalena Archipelago, the resort is an inviting sanctuary. With its exclusive setting, impeccable service, and effortless connection to nature, Seven Pines offers an authentic and luxurious escape in the heart of the Costa Smeralda.

Each day we have included breakfast and dinner at our stunning hotel, which offers an elegant dining experience overlooking the turquoise waters of the Costa Smeralda. Framed by lush Mediterranean gardens and soft sea breezes, the restaurants highlight the freshest local ingredients and seasonal flavors.

The balance of the day is for relaxation and personal exploration. We will dine together under the stars this evening.

Departing from our hotel, we will travel through the island's beautiful inland landscapes towards Mamoiada, a charming village renowned for its deep-rooted cultural heritage and exceptional longevity. Upon arrival, there may be the opportunity to meet local centenarians—an inspiring encounter that offers a rare glimpse into the lifestyle, values, and traditions that have contributed to Sardinia's remarkable reputation as one of the longest-living regions in the world.  

While in Mamoiada, our journey includes a visit to the renowned Museum of Mediterranean Masks, home to the iconic Mamuthones and Issohadores masks, symbols of Sardinia's most ancient and mysterious carnival traditions. Through a collection of exhibits and stories, the museum provides an engaging introduction to the island's unique cultural identity.  

The journey then continues to nearby Orgosolo, another community in the Blue Zone. Famous throughout Sardinia for its striking open-air art gallery, Orgosolo offers a guided stroll through its historic streets, where hundreds of colorful murals transform the village into a living canvas. These powerful artworks tell stories of local history, social change, and Sardinian culture, creating a truly distinctive atmosphere.  

During our day, we experience authentic Blue Zone cuisine with a traditional lunch at a local agriturismo, where authentic Sardinian cuisine is celebrated through seasonal ingredients, regional specialties, and warm hospitality. This leisurely dining experience provides an excellent opportunity to savor the island's genuine flavors while enjoying the relaxed rhythm of rural Sardinian life.
