Why is Hotel Capo d'Orso Thalasso & Spa one of the best destinations on the island?

Hotel Capo d'Orso Thalasso & Spa is a highly recommended 5 star hotel with a relaxed atmosphere in a truly romantic setting with guests, young and old, returning year after year. It is the perfect choice for a special occasion, anniversary or honeymoon.

What could be better than to start the day with an excellent buffet breakfast accompanied by the harp, then spending the day relaxing by the pool or picturesque beaches and swimming off the rocks in the clear blue sea. Alternatively take the hotel water taxi or sailing boat out to the magnificent unspoilt islands nearby. Here you can be as relaxed or as active as you like!


Alison and Huw from Just Sardinia have visited Capo d'Orso many times, saying, “It’s the kind of hotel that makes you feel special, offering a laid-back atmosphere. As Dino, the manager, puts it: “it's all about relaxed luxury.”

After founding Just Sardinia with my husband Huw in 2000, I found myself naturally marketing the company through my love and in depth knowledge of the island. This stemmed from living in Sardinia for a couple of years and wanting to expand the English market to Sardinia which we have successfully done for 25 years with hotels, villas, apartments and rural retreats throughout the island and finding new properties every year! I have been lucky enough to visit Hotel Capo d'Orso many times and seen it grow over the years to now become part of Leading Hotels of the World.
