Here is an overview of all the novelties that will further enrich the impressive offer by Forte Village Resort, designed to give guests an even more exclusive and unforgettable experience.

Forte Village Nature Park: an immersive experience in the nature

One of the most exciting new features for 2025 at Forte Village Resort is definitely the Forte Village Nature Park, an extraordinary green space entirely dedicated to the discovery of local biodiversity, a tribute to Mediterranean nature, which blends in harmony with an incredible variety of plant species and many friendly animals that live quietly in the park.

In addition to walking in the shade of centuries-old trees that stand out in all their majesty next to bright flowers and exotic plant species, guests will experience close encounters with deer, flamingos and parrots, creating unforgettable memories for the whole family. At the same time, Nature Park is a perfect place for adventure lovers, with panoramic paths, bike routes, a zipline over water and an adventure park within the pine forest enabling guests of the Resort to join exciting experiences in touch with nature.

A place that celebrates the natural beauty of the land embracing Forte Village, and that embodies the principles of sustainability that have always been at the core of its mission: the Resort in Santa Margherita di Pula has already achieved prestigious GSTC certification twice (Global Sustainable Tourism Council, a recognition awarded to destinations and facilities that respect clear environmental, social and economic sustainability criteria, including natural resources management, protection of cultural heritage, respect for local communities and concrete actions to reduce environmental impact), in 2023 and 2024, confirming its full commitment for sustainability and the adoption of ecological practices to protect the environment. Among the next goals to achieve by the end of the year, the production of 1.4 MW of renewable energy thanks to a photovoltaic system extending over 22,000 square meters.

Furthermore, with the initiative Fishing For Litter (or “waste fishing”), created in partnership with Ogyre, Italian startup with the ambitious goal of helping keep the Sardinian crystal-clear sea always clean (and the cleanest in Italy), the Resort has been collaborating for years with local fishing communities to recover wastes during their fishing activities. The commitment aims at collecting, by the end of 2025, even up to 4 million kg of wastes.

Elegance and style for an exclusive stay at Forte Village Resort Sardinia

Some places don’t simply exist, but breathe, transform and renew themselves. Forte Village Resort, like a jewel between the emerald green woods and deep blue waters of South Sardinia, is one of those: a corner of paradise where luxury is not ostentation, but perfect harmony between elegance, comfort and nature. Here, between the whisper of waves and the scent of Mediterranean flora, every detail truly offers guests an even more memorable experience, a journey into excellence that begins with a restyling that enhances elegance and comfort of its most exclusive accommodations.

• The prestigious Hotel Castello, which by its privileged position next to the sea allows guests to enjoy breathtaking panoramic views and easy access to the Resort’s private beach, introduced a completely renovated Executive Floor, with rooms and suites featuring modern furnishings and exclusive services. In addition, the hotel’s lobby and bar have been redesigned to create a sophisticated and welcoming environment, ideal for moments of relaxation or informal meetings.

The ideal refuge for who seeks unique experiences in a luxurious setting, whether it’s a romantic weekend with your partner, a marriage proposal or honeymoon in one of the most enchanting locationsin Sardinia – and beyond.

Honorable mention goes to the new light path that embellishes “Viale Lord Charles Forte” too, one of the most iconic streets within Forte Village Resort, a street that embodies local elegance and refinement and takes its name from the pioneer of the hotel industry, founder of the Forte Hotels franchise. In addition to being a functional element, light becomes a scenographic detail that gives every space a warm and evocative atmosphere, enhancing the innate elegance and extraordinary beauty of the resort.

A new star within the stars of the Forte Village Resort Sardinia

The gastronomic experience at Forte Village Sardinia reaches new heights of excellence with the presence of three great masters of international haute cuisine, Giuseppe Molaro, Heinz Beck and Giuseppe Mancino.

The first, Neapolitan chef with an international soul, holder of one Michelin star and three Gambero Rosso forks, known for his impressive ability to masterfully blend different food traditions and create dishes with surprising flavors, he brings to the “most beautiful resort in the world” a cuisine that comes to life through a careful selection of raw materials, the means by which he expresses his creativity. Each dish of “Belvedere” is thus the result of an emotional journey, in which ingredients and flavors intertwine with memories, locations and personal suggestions, shaping unique and exciting multisensory experiences.

The second, German chef known for his healthy, extremely innovative and refined cuisine, who with his La Pergola, a true institution of the Eternal City, has been awarded 3 Michelin stars, who brings his gastronomic philosophy to Forte Village with the “Beachcomber”, an exclusive seafood restaurant overlooking the seaside, where every dish is a perfect harmony between technique, research and emotion, enhancing the quality of the raw material with sophisticated and surprising combinations.

Finally, a new entry within the “stars” of Forte Village Resort, Giuseppe Mancino, who boasts two Michelin stars, coming to Sardinia with his homage to the flavors of the Mediterranean, reworked in an innovative key with elegance and creativity, without distorting their purest essence.

Further proof of the excellence of the sports facilities hosted within more than 50 hectares in the Resort, as well as the very high level of instructors, true legends of Italian and international sport eager to pass on their experience and passion by teaching their own disciplines.

It enables resort’s guests to explore the wild nature of Sardinia in complete safety and fun, tackling the most evocative panoramic roads and paths of the region, exploiting the mountain bikes and e-bikes made available by the resort.

Wellness and relax: novelties for the SPA of Forte Village Resort 2025

In 2025, Forte Village Resort Sardinia will further enrich its extraordinary offer of exclusive wellness treatments, consolidating its reputation as a world-class wellness destination. The renowned Acquaforte Thalasso & Spa, awarded multiple times with international prizes for its innovative thalassotherapy treatments, will introduce three new experiences designed to regenerate body and mind, combining ancient holistic practices with advanced discoveries in the field of aesthetic medicine and longevity, providing guests with an exclusive journey of relaxation and psychophysical rebalancing.

Among these, Russian Banya, an experience inspired by the ancient Russian sauna tradition, designed to purify body and relax mind. Thanks to the collaboration with Banya N°1, the first authentic Russian Banya in the UK, this exclusive ritual allows guests to try this regenerating treatment combining high temperatures, aromatic vapors and invigorating cold baths. The path includes a heat bath, with temperatures up to 120 degrees (traditional Finnish sauna is instead “only” 90 degrees), to promote sweating and so the elimination of toxins, followed by the application of birch fronds over the body using the “venik massage” technique to stimulate circulation and relax muscles and, finally, a refreshing cold bath to rebalance body temperature and give an immediate energy boost.

Also unmissable is the new Artic Sauna by the seaside, a perfect fusion between the heat of Finnish sauna and the freshness of the crystalline waters of Sardinia. An exclusive wellness treatment based on the thermal contrast technique, very popular in Nordic countries, which stimulates metabolism, strengthens immune system, improves blood circulation and, last but not least, gives a wonderful sensation of widespread well-being.

Concerning wellness, Forte Village Resort Sardinia also introduces the area dedicated to Biohacking, a complete approach to wellness that leverages advanced biological and neuroscientific stimulation techniques, using physiological monitoring tools, regenerative therapies, targeted nutritional protocols and cognitive enhancement methodologies, to optimize health, longevity and mental and physical performance.

By the use of specific protocols integrating tools such as infrared light and cryotherapy (to reduce inflammation and accelerate muscle recovery), oxygen therapy (to improve cellular energy and physical resistance), and specific controlled breathing and neurostimulation techniques (to promote mental well-being and reduce stress levels), Biohacking thus allows to maximize wellness and foster psychophysical performance in a personalized and scientific way.

Entertainment and shopping: exclusive collaborations between luxury and haute couture brands and unmissable live shows

The starry nights at the Forte Arena
