5* Sardinia holiday

Seven or 14 nights on Sardinia's Emerald Coast - includes flights, transfers and choice of room/board options

If you were to look down on the grounds of the Colonna Resort from a helicopter, you could be forgiven for thinking you were flying over a protected nature reserve. The 50,000sqm estate that this luxury island retreat calls home is designed as such - with a system of large bathing lagoons, waterfalls and strawberry-laden gardens bridging the gap between the hotel and the azure Tyrrhenian sea.

Located on the famous Emerald Coast, Colonna Resort is within ambling distance of Cala Granu's powdery sands and Porto Cervo's yacht-lined harbour. The resort itself boasts fine restaurants and an upmarket SPA wellness centre where a heated saltwater pool, sauna, Turkish baths, beauty room and relaxation area make for one of the most luxurious little-black-book finds in the region. As for the rooms - think chic and expensive - with custom-made Mediterranean furnishings, a sumptuous pale-gold colour palette and plenty of cool, airy space.

Our members can pretty much design their own holiday. Your return flights (with British Airways) and airport transfers are included, plus a complimentary spa day at the above-said haven of loveliness - then it's simply a choice between a Garden View or Sea View room, for two or four people, with either B&B or half-board. Decisions, decisions...

Please note that rates are available for 14 nights in a Standard Sea View room on request, by contacting supporting@secretescapes.com.
