WELLNESS
Wellness at Chia Laguna is guided by the island’s deep sense of tranquillity. Here, rituals draw from Sardinia’s elements: salt, honey, wood, botanicals offering restorative treatments that nurture both body and spirit.
Mindful movement, calming spa journeys, and open-air experiences encourage guests to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with themselves.
NATURE
Nature is our playground, our sanctuary, and our greatest teacher. Chia Laguna is part of the landscape, not separate from it.
Nestled within a protected natural reserve, it boasts some of the most stunning beaches in Sardinia, with juniper-framed dunes, flamingo-filled lagoons, and pristine waters offering a rare connection to the untamed beauty of the island.
#3 CULINARY
Sardinia’s rich culinary heritage is a celebration of honoured traditions, local craftsmanship, and the island’s abundant natural ingredients.
At Chia Laguna, every meal is an invitation to savour the flavours of the South: house-harvested honey, fresh seafood, ancient grains, and vibrant seasonal produce shaped by blue-zone living.
#4
FAMILY
Chia Laguna embraces modern families in all their forms-whether multi-generational gatherings, blended families creating new traditions, couples seeking a romantic escape, friends celebrating, or solo travellers seeking connection.
Each of the three hotel experiences caters to different needs, ensuring that every guest finds the perfect fit for their stay.
#5 ADVENTURE
Run or ride horseback through scenic nature reserves, fragrant Mediterranean landscapes, and charming villages. Explore hidden coves, take frequent dips in the sea.

SARDINIAN SOUL RITUALS WELLNESS
THE SPA
Sardinian Soul Rituals invites guests into a serene, design-led sanctuary where nature and science work in harmony to restore total balance.
Each ritual is rooted in the island’s landscape: purifying sea salt, nourishing wild honey, and grounding Mediterranean wood, elevated with expert touch, sensory detail, and deep intentionality.
This experience slows the pace, calms the mind, and reconnects the body with Sardinia’s long-life rhythm.
SALT
THE SALT PATH.
RITUAL OF PURIFICATION
A purifying and deeply regenerating journey, inspired by the natural elements of Sardinia. The ritual includes an exfoliation with Sardinian salt and a massage using warm herbal compresses enriched with Sardinian aromatic herbs. The products used are exclusively created for us by the Saline Conti Vecchi, a natural oasis and industrial archaeology site protected by the FAI, the National Trust for Italy. Their salt is rich in minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium, and is known for its exfoliating, antiseptic, and rebalancing properties. The treatment provides a deep sense of purification, renewal, and inner balance.
» Full-body salt scrub with salt from the local Saline Conti Vecchi
» Followed by a soothing, re-energising therapeutic massage with herbal compresses enriched with Sardinian aromatic herbs
» Skin feels polished, radiant and renewed
AT A GLANCE
HONEY THE HONEY PATH
RITUAL OF NOURISHMENT
A relaxing sensory experience celebrating the richness of honey from local hives. The ritual begins with a tasting of three local honeys, accompanied by a guided breathing exercise to promote calm and help reconnect with one’s inner center. This is followed by a slow, enveloping massage using warm honey of your choice, which deeply hydrates the skin and provides a pleasant sense of well-being. The ritual concludes with a warm herbal infusion delicately flavored with the selected honey.
» Crafted with honey sourced locally
» A journey in sequence: honey tasting → guided breathwork → warm-honey massage → tea ritual
» Gentle, restorative pressure ideal for sensitive or dehydrated skin
THE WOOD PATH RITUAL OF GROUNDING
WOOD
Inspired by the warmth of Sardinian Forest wood, this ritual is designed to restore energetic balance and reconnect with the creative power of nature. It begins with a guided meditation in our spa garden: surrounded by the sounds of nature and the scents of Sardinian plants, guests reach a state of deep relaxation and reconnect with nature through their senses. The experience continues with a face and body treatment using “Legno Agrumato” cream, exclusively produced for us by local herbalists.
The skin is nourished, facial features appear relaxed, and the body feels deeply regenerated and rebalanced.

CULINARY MOMENTS
CULINARY MOMENTS
SUNSET BLUEZONE DINNER
An intimate adults-only evening on our Sky Deck, featuring aperitivo bites, shared platters, and gentle live music at sunset.
Sardinia’s long-life food culture shapes this three-chapter dining journey: Blue Zone bites of legumes, grains, wild herbs and local cheeses with a splash of Cannonau; generous shared platters echoing the island’s slowfood rhythm; and a sunset finale of seasonal garden produce and fresh local seafood. Unhurried pacing, vineyard pours, and stories of place create a warm, communal evening as the sky turns rose-gold over the Mediterranean.
Inspired by the iconic traditional Ape carts, Lady Bee brings flavour and surprise wherever the day takes you. Once used by local farmers to transport produce from village to market, this iconic three-wheeler carries the spirit of Sardinian tradition into a new, playful form.
By daylight, she scoops small-batch gelato in rotating Sardinian flavours, alongside creamy frozen yogurt made with local honey. Come sunset, Lady Bee transforms into a roving cocktail bar, mixing refreshing spritzes and signatures brightened with local honey, wild herbs and citrus.
Catch her poolside between swims, near the sand for a spontaneous treat, or near the piazza as music drifts through the evening. Ring the bell, choose your scoop or sip, and let Lady Bee sweeten the moment.
» Gelato & sorbetti of the day
» Chia Laguna Signature Honey Frozen Yogurt
» Aperitivi & sunset cocktails featuring local botanicals

SARDINIAN HERB COCKTAIL COLLECTION

Each bar interprets these flavours differently, so the experience shifts as you explore the resort.
Ask for a tasting pour, tailor your spirit base, or build a drink around your favourite herb. Collect a stamp at each bar; complete the circuit for a small keepsake from our mixology team.

We cook with local flours, garden herbs, fresh cheeses and our own Chia Laguna honey, then plate up and enjoy the results at the table.
