Alghero, a historic Catalan town on Sardinia's northwest coast, pairs seaside drama with medieval character. For a luxury stay, you can choose between properties directly on the water, like the beachfront Hotel Calabona or the cliff-top El Faro Hotel & Spa in Porto Conte, and elegant central addresses like Hotel Catalunya near the harbor. Options range from restored 18th-century manor houses surrounded by Mediterranean gardens to contemporary designer rooms with rooftop pools.
The 14 properties in this category cater to different tastes. Expect beach clubs with complimentary sunbeds, extensive spa and wellness centers, infinity pools, and gourmet restaurants. For a romantic escape, Villa Las Tronas Hotel & Spa-a former royal retreat with direct sea access and a panoramic pool-is a strong contender. Given the range of excellent choices, it is worth comparing rates and availability from trusted platforms before you book.
