Hotel Orlando Sardegna SARDINIA, ITALY
Set in the forested highlands of Ogliastra, one of the world’s famed Blue Zones, Hotel Orlando Sardegna is a retreat shaped by longevity, artistry and the quiet rhythms of nature. Here, in Villagrande Strisaili — renowned for holding the global record for male longevity — life unfolds slowly and serenely. The hotel draws deeply from this philosophy and an immersion into a lifestyle defined by balance, community and the restorative power of the natural world. Stepping inside feels like entering a living
gallery. Hotel Orlando is often described as a museum for its remarkable collection of Sardinian art, with corridors and courtyards adorned with ceramics, textiles and sculptures crafted by the island’s most celebrated artisans. Traditional craftsmanship and contemporary creativity meet throughout the property, revealing the cultural heartbeat of Sardinia in every detail. Its culinary direction celebrates the land with
sincerity and respect. The restaurant embraces zero-kilometre principles, sourcing seasonal ingredients directly from local farmers and
producers. Fresh vegetables, mountain herbs and recipes passed down through generations are reimagined with a light modernity, creating dishes that nourish, sustain and reflect the island’s agricultural heritage. Dining becomes a connection — to place, to people and to the simple pleasures that define long and healthy living. The spa transforms Sardinia’s aromatic
plants — rosemary, myrtle, lavender, thyme and juniper — into oils, unguents and therapies that restore energy and equilibrium. Massages, herbal baths and quiet spaces for reflection create a multisensory journey, allowing guests to reconnect with themselves in profound, grounding ways. Guided excursions lead to Punta Lamarmora, the
highest peak of the Gennargentu massif, offering sweeping views of the island’s untamed beauty. The turquoise waters of Arbatax sit just 12 miles away, inviting afternoons of swimming, sailing or sun- soaked idleness. More intimate experiences include walks dedicated to foraging medicinal plants, ending with the preparation of fragrant teas — a ritual of knowledge, wellbeing and tradition.
