Badesi is an idyllic holiday location for visitors to Sardinia. The seaside village is located in Olbia-Tempio province and offers a heavenly holiday to beach lovers, fishing enthusiasts, sailors, and active tourists who enjoy windsurfing, kitesurfing, hiking and nature rambles.

The seaside town is set on a hillside overlooking the outlet of the River Coghinas and benefits from some of the best beaches in Sardinia. The Bay of Mimosas beach is close by the River Coghinas outlet and provides a wide expanse of white sand and dunes, giving holidaymakers plenty of space and solitude to enjoy a day by the sea.

Other local beaches include Poltu Biancu, which is renowned for the brightness of its sand, and Marina di Badesi, which features a long, shelving beach creating shallow seawaters making it a particularly good beach for children. Badesi is not a major tourist destination, so it's fine for visitors most times of year.

The island of Sardinia is a popular holiday destination for Italians, though, and August is peak holiday season. Ideally, tourists might consider taking a holiday to Badesia during alternative months.

The small town of Badesi offers some historic neighbourhoods and the church of Sacro Cuore is well worth a visit. The Badesi Mare area has a number of clubs and lively nightlife, as well as a variety of shops and bars providing all essentials. Badesi is an ideal location for exploring northern Sardinia, which is renowned for its magnificent beaches and unspoilt scenery.

A variety of carnivals and events take place in the area through summer months, starting with the annual sea fishing competition in May and leading up to the main Carnival in August.

Seafood dishes are immensely popular and a variety of restaurants and local farms provide delicious meals with the wide range of fresh local ingredients available throughout the year.
