Welcome to your immersive 8‑day odyssey through the verdant heart of Sardinia — a region renowned for its extraordinary longevity, timeless traditions and slow‑living rhythms. On this journey, you’ll explore soaring mountains, whispering olive groves, sun‑kissed coasts and ancient villages where the secrets of healthy, meaningful living are woven into the very fabric of daily life.
From dawn hikes through wild uplands to baking semolina bread beside a stone mill; from meeting centenarians who embody a century of wisdom, to sailing along crusted cliffs and crystalline coves — each moment is curated to awaken your senses, open your heart and deepen your connection to this enchanting land.
A selection of high-touch inclusions, designed to elevate every moment.
Imagine kneading golden semolina beside a Sardinian nonna in a sun-dappled village courtyard, the scent of fresh bread mingling with wild rosemary on the breeze. Later, you share stories with a shepherd in the mountains, tasting pecorino made just moments before. As evening falls, the sea glows rose-gold along the cliffs of Orosei, and laughter drifts across a long, unhurried table.
Each day unfolds like a meditation — on nature, nourishment, and connection. From ancient Nuragic stones to centuries-old olive groves, from village kitchens to hidden coves, you’ll move at the island’s own rhythm — slow, strong, and full of heart.
This isn’t just a journey through Sardinia. It’s an immersion into the art of living well — where longevity is not a secret, but a simple, beautiful way of life.

Today you leave the modern world behind for the unspoiled uplands of the Supramonte mountains. You’ll join a shepherd family, follow the flock and witness the time‑honored process of cheese‑making in its purest form.
Later, you’ll explore an open‑air ethnographic museum, where Sardinia’s heritage is laid out in full view. Lunch will be in a shepherd’s cuile (mountain shelter).

After breakfast at your accommodation, you’ll visit a restored historic mill to learn about the process of making semolina from ancient grains. The hands‑on bread‑baking session in a local Barbagia home invites you to craft dough with mother yeast, kneading tradition into each loaf. Along the way you’ll discover the legacy of traditional craftsmanship — from the famed resolza knives of Dorgali to the bell‑maker of Tonara. The evening culminates with a local house dinner, and you’ll begin to understand what the “Blue Zone” lifestyle truly embodies.

Today, you shift from rugged mountain to coastal calm. A private boat will carry you into the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Orosei, where cliffs rise from the sea and secret beaches invite discovery.

Rise early for your move into the area of Gallura.
