NATURE PARK

A new chapter begins in the Nature Park with the arrival of Nello, a young donkey, and Nina, a little mouflon.

Small, curious and full of life, they embody the quiet magic of this natural sanctuary.

Nina also carries a special connection with Sardinia, where the mouflon is one of the island’s most iconic wild animals and a symbol of its untamed beauty.

NINA

A NEW PATH THROUGH THE AVIARY

Step inside. A new path threads through the Aviary, bringing you closer to a flutter of colour, a chorus of calls: a small, vivid world hidden within the park

RUSSIAN BANYA

Steam, cold water, the whisper of birch and oak.

The Russian Banya is one of the world's oldest wellness rituals and one of its most quietly transformative

In collaboration with Banya No.1, it arrives on the Sardinian shore in its most authentic form

The centrepiece is Parenie: a master-led thermal ceremony using the venik, leafy branches of birch, oak or eucalyptus, to move fragrant heat through the parnaya in waves Elemental in its logic. Profound in its effect.

FANGAIA

Sea and land, mineral and clay: in the newly redesigned fangaia, two of nature's most ancient healing forces meet

The ritual unfolds in stillness: a fullbody application of mineral mud, left to work for fifteen to twenty minutes: circulation stirred, fluids gently guided, skin quietly transformed A cleansing shower closes the experience, leaving the body feeling lighter, the skin visibly renewed

Zip line

The dam below, the maquis all around, the summer sky above. This zip line offers the kind of freedom that stays with you long after your feet touch the ground: a breathless moment suspended above the landscape, as shades of green and blue rush past below Some perspectives can only be found from up here READY TO TAKE OFF?

A new emotion awaits you at Forte Village

A NEW HEART FOR THE RESORT

Basalt and travertine beneath elegant arcades, boutique windows warm in the afternoon light.

A piazza reimagined: the unhurried rhythm of an evening stroll, the warmth of a shared meal and the magic of a night show under the stars.

This is a place made for lingering Familiar in spirit, radiant in its new form.

A FRESH SENSE OF COMFORT
