Forte Village, nestled along the southern coast of Sardinia’s pristine coastline, is a testimony to luxury and tranquility. It offers a unique experience for travelers looking for the ultimate getaway.
Luxury Accommodations: A Place Where Comfort and Elegance Meet
Accommodations are available for the most demanding guests. They range from luxurious residences to cozy bungalows. Our Executive Mare room, which offered a breathtaking view of the turquoise Mediterranean, was the pinnacle of luxury during our stay at Hotel Castello. The room’s design, inspired by the sea, seamlessly blended modern elegance with touches of Sardinian heritage. The soft leather and velvet furnishings provided a relaxing environment, while the satin-draped beds made for a restful night.
The Royal Suite was the pinnacle of luxury. It is located on the 5th floor and has a private swimming pool, as well as a large terrace with 180-degree views of the Gulf of Santa Margherita. This suite’s sophisticated design and unparalleled views made it an ideal spot for both relaxation and private events. It was like stepping into the pages a modern day fairytale.
Gourmet Dining: An Exotic Culinary Journey
Forte Village, a food lover’s paradise, has 21 restaurants, 100 chefs and Michelin-starred talents such as Heinz Beck. Fresh, local ingredients were the focus of each meal. Our dining experiences ranged from authentic Sardinian dishes at the exclusive Belvedere restaurant to international cuisines prepared by renowned chefs during the resort’s Celebrity Chef Nights.
A memorable evening was spent enjoying traditional Sardinian dishes and Italian cuisine on the Belvedere rooftop, where they were reimagined creatively. The magical evening was enhanced by the panoramic views of pine trees and the Mediterranean. It was so surreal that I had pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t daydreaming.
Rejuvenation and Wellness: The AcquaForte Thalasso & Spa
A highlight of our stay was the transformative experience at AcquaForte Thalasso & Spa. The six Thalasso Pools at this state-of-the art facility, which have varying temperatures and concentrations of minerals in each pool, harness the therapeutic benefits of seawater. The circuit was created to detoxify, relax and rejuvenate. It offers benefits that are comparable to weeks spent by the ocean.
My husband and I began our mornings with invigorating beach runs along the resort’s private shores, where we even had a chance encounter with Liverpool’s Diogo Jota. After a long run, the Thalasso pool was the perfect place to recover. Their high salinity aided in muscle relaxation, and improved sleep. The magnesium-rich waters helped to ease any aches, and promote a sense well-being. The skin on my face healed by itself after a minor burn I received a couple of days before our trip. The power of this spa goes beyond the physical healing aspect, it also centered my racing heart and mind, allowing me the most wonderful, deep sleep I’ve had in months. You have to try it! Words don’t do justice to how extraordinary their spa is.
