Location
Overlooking the Asinara Gulf, in Northern Sardinia, about one hour’s drive from Olbia and Alghero and about 40 minutes from the S. Teresa and Porto Torres ports, the Dune Village is one of the best equipped resorts in Sardinia, with 390 rooms, 6 restaurants, 4 swimming pools, 4 bars, safe equipped spaces for kids and a host of sports and leisure activities. The hotel, located on private grounds of 90.000 m2, overlooks the coast of Badesi Marina, framed by sand dunes and hills covered by scented junipers, Mediterranean scrub and vineyards. The long beach stretches for some 8 km, to the beautiful, deserted cliffs of Isola Rossa.
Hotel
The Dune Village is a very large resort complex made up of four accommodation areas linked by a central piazza. Two areas, “I Ginepri” and “Le Palme”, are especially suited to families with children, while the complex of “Le Rocce”, in a more secluded location, is particularly suited to adults. For our most demanding guests, the new area “La Duna Bianca” offers the pleasure of staying a few metres from the sea, with a more exclusive service. Resort Dune Village offers a catering service meeting all tastes, with a choice of six restaurants, 4 of which with theme-based menus, one with international menu and the sixth (Romantico), for special dinners, with candle light, and a choice of extra fresh lobster, other specialties and attentive table service.
