Accommodations

Steps from the sand, with Sardinian soul.

Forte Village Resort encompasses eight hotels ranging from four to five stars, thirteen villas, and over forty exclusive suites, all spread across one hundred twenty park-like acres along the Sardinian coast. Accommodation styles range from elegant sea-facing rooms and family bungalows to sweeping penthouse suites, with furnishings throughout paying homage to colorful Sardinian crafts balanced with contemporary design. Guests have access to the full range of resort facilities regardless of where they're staying, including beach access, swimming pools, the Children's Wonderland, and nightly entertainment in the piazza.
Pool + Gym

Swimming pools for every mood.

Water is at the heart of the Forte Village experience, with nine pools ranging from family fun to pure relaxation. The central Oasis Pool sits surrounded by lush tropical gardens with varying depths suited to both adults and children, while the Aquapark delivers thrills via seven water slides, a pirate ship with water cannons, and dedicated splash zones for little ones. Guests of Le Dune have exclusive access to the Infinity Pool Dune, a peaceful retreat that blends seamlessly into the surrounding greenery, while the heated Infinity Pool Castello is one of the resort's most iconic spots, perched above the Mediterranean with direct beach access.

The Performance Center powered by Acquaforte is a dedicated fitness and rehabilitation hub designed for professional athletes and passionate amateurs alike. A highly specialized team, including athletic trainers, sports doctors, massage therapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, and nutritionists, builds fully personalized programs around each guest's needs, whether that's muscle rebalancing, strength training, sport-specific conditioning, or weight loss. Detailed assessments from the Forte Lab medical team ensure a targeted approach, with workouts taking place in a fully equipped fitness room featuring the latest Technogym equipment. Training can also be combined with the Thalasso therapy circuit, where saltwater pools of varying temperatures allow guests to exercise without stress on the joints, supporting faster recovery and better results.
Spa

Ancient seawater, modern science, and a lush tropical setting.

Tucked within a lush tropical garden, Acquaforte Thalasso & Spa offers one of Sardinia's most distinctive wellness experiences, a thalassotherapy circuit of six pools filled with pure Sardinian seawater, each varying in temperature and salinity for deep detox and full-body regeneration. Holistic massages and personalized athletic programs supported by patented HPM technology sit alongside an innovative Regenerative Aesthetic Medicine center developed in partnership with Deasalus, rounding out an offering that seamlessly blends nature, science, and advanced wellness.
Restaurant + Bar

From pine-grove dinners to Michelin-starred evenings.

Dining at Forte Village is a destination in itself. During high season, up to twenty-one restaurants are open, with a brigade of over eighty chefs preparing more than 180 different dishes daily, eighty percent of which are made with ingredients sourced directly from Sardinia. Michelin-starred collaborations with chefs including Heinz Beck, Max Mascia, and Giuseppe Molaro bring exclusive dining experiences to the resort from mid-June to late August.

The flagship Cavalieri restaurant sets the tone, an elegant garden setting in a fragrant pine grove, with soft piano music, an exceptional buffet and barbecue grill, and a spread of Italian and Sardinian specialties reserved for guests of the five-star hotels. The Forte Grill in the Oasis area takes a more casual approach, serving premium grilled meats from Italy, Ireland, and Australia alongside generous starters and desserts. For something more rooted in the island, the Sardinian Restaurant offers a terrace overlooking the Oasis pools and a menu built around handmade pastas, local meats, island cheeses, and regional wines. Those looking for something livelier can head to the Brazilian Restaurant, where charcoal-grilled meats arrive on long skewers in a relaxed, convivial setting.

The elegant Bar Bandiere is the resort's most iconic watering hole. Tucked within Hotel Castello, it's the place for a fine whisky or classic cocktail accompanied by live piano music. For daytime refreshment, Bar Aqvatica sits at the crossroads of the sports area, Forte Bay, and the beach, serving fresh juices and light snacks between activities, while the Oasis Pool Bar offers swim-up service with sushi, salads, and sandwiches at lunch. As the evening picks up, Bar Piazza Luisa becomes the heart of the action, the ideal spot to unwind after dinner and take in the live shows. Wine lovers will want to seek out the Wine Bar at the entrance to Piazza Luisa, with a curated selection of Sardinian and Italian bottles, and no visit is complete without a stop at the Gelateria for artisan gelato, or the Pasticceria for pastries and an espresso on the terrace.
  • Vibe
    Part seaside village, part world-class resort, a relaxed spirit with exceptional attention to detail.
  • Who's it for?
    Forte Village is one of those rare resorts that genuinely delivers for everyone. Families and multigenerational groups thrive here, with the Aquapark, Children's Wonderland, and car-free grounds keeping younger guests happy while adults enjoy world-class dining, wellness, and sports. We love it for sports enthusiasts in particular – the chance to train alongside international legends is truly one of a kind.
  • Location
    Forte Village sits on the southwest coast of Sardinia, less than an hour's drive from Cagliari's international airport. The resort is set within a private, car-free park reserved exclusively for guests, surrounded by lush greenery and facing the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean, creating a peaceful and secure environment for families and couples alike. The charming town of Pula is nearby for those looking to venture out, though with everything from eight distinct hotels to dozens of restaurants and activities on the grounds, most guests find little reason to leave.
