Hotel Club Esse Palmasera

At Resort hotel Club Esse Palmasera, much is about being outdoors. The youngest run toward the children's pool, while the rest opt for a dip in one of the other saltwater pools or find a spot at the water's edge. Then the beach beckons 200 meters away, reached by stairs from the hotel. There, no standard strip of sand awaits, but a beach with small pink pebbles and views of the sea in all shades of blue. Even at the resort, the pace remains nicely varied. During the day, children indulge in games, workshops and sports at the kids club, while teenagers seek each other out in tournaments and activities for their age group. In between, time flies by on the sports fields, playing beach volleyball, pickleball or a game of tennis. And once night falls, everyone shifts naturally toward live entertainment and shows in the amphitheatre.

At the table, too, Resort hotel Club Esse Palmasera maintains that casual vacation atmosphere. In the restaurant, guests scoop up whatever they're hungry for, from Sardinian flavors to familiar dishes that make children immediately happy. That works nicely with a family: no long waits, just a quick table and then on to the pool or the evening program. Getting a drink during the day is just as easy. At the pool there is a relaxed atmosphere, on the panoramic terrace an aperitif tastes even better and at the beach there is a bar-restaurant for a break overlooking the sea. Extra nice for families with little ones: there is a special area where parents can prepare food for young children. So the day runs smoothly, without fuss.

The aquarium of Cala Gonone is within walking distance, as is the village's central beach. The Grotta del Bue Marino is also surprisingly close, 2.9 kilometres from the resort hotel. If you want to see more of the surroundings, hop on a boat in the Gulf of Orosei or head inland towards the rugged Supramonte. There, impressive places like the Gorropu Gorge, where rock walls rise high above the path, await, and at Dorgali, cultural excursions also await. Think Nuraghe Mannu overlooking the coast, or the Grotta di Ispinigoli with a huge stalactite column that makes an immediate impression. Thus, a vacation here effortlessly alternates beach days with caves, viewpoints and short excursions that are also doable with children.
