Beautifully positioned on the south-east coast of the island of Sardinia, this five-star hotel is within the Capo Carbonara marine reserve.

Leisurely days at The Pullman Timi Ama Sardegna hotel can be spent relaxing on the beach, exploring the nature reserve or enjoying a round of golf on the neighbouring course. The hotel complex faces out towards a crystalline salt lake, a nine-mile white sand beach and the blue waters of the Mediterranean beyond. It is bordered on the other side by a forest of palm trees and junipers while within easy reach there are wineries, archeological sites and a plethora of unspoiled nature.

All are bathed in Mediterranean light and feature a balcony or terrace from which to enjoy the views of either the bay or hotel grounds. Guest amenities include health and well-being treatments and therapies at the Thalassa Sea and Spa Centre, tennis, yoga and horse-riding.
