Nestled within a protected natural park on Sardinia’s Domus de Maria coastline, the Conrad Chia Laguna Resort offers a luxurious escape overlooking Chia Bay. Located about an hour from Cagliari, the island’s capital, the resort is part of a larger complex that includes family-oriented and adults-only accommodations, but the Conrad outpost stands out for its upscale amenities and design.
The 107-room Conrad property, recently redesigned by Studio Marco Piva, features interiors that draw inspiration from Sardinian traditions, incorporating elements like artisan rugs and local ceramics. The design emphasizes light and airy elegance, with suites offering high-end Italian furnishings, muted color palettes, and natural finishes. Modern touches include rainfall showers, Byredo toiletries, Nespresso machines, and minibars. Many rooms also boast spacious balconies with views of the surrounding landscape.
Dining at the Conrad is a key feature, with multiple restaurants offering diverse culinary experiences. La Terrazza, the resort’s signature restaurant, provides panoramic views and serves elevated Mediterranean dishes, including honey-glazed octopus and citrus-marinated sea bass. The menu emphasizes fresh, plant-forward cuisine, aligning with Sardinia's reputation as a longevity hotspot. Poolside, Bar Bioquam offers small plates with a Sardinian twist, such as roasted eggplant with myrtle oil. For seafood lovers, the nearby Le Dune restaurant, a short walk from Campana Dune beach, specializes in shareable plates and carpaccio.
Guests can also explore the main restaurant at Baia’s de Chia, Il Ginepro, which fuses Sardinian flavors with Japanese influences, offering dishes like local mussels in miso broth. Across the resort, there are approximately nine dining venues, including casual options like pizzerias and buffets. For beverages, Bar Bollicine, meaning 'Bar Bubbles,' offers an elegant selection of sparkling wines and cocktails.
The resort's activities are designed to complement its natural surroundings. Guests can partake in guided sunrise hikes, coastal walks, outdoor yoga, horseback riding, and e-biking. The lagoons near the resort are known for attracting pink flamingos. Access to two beaches, Monte Cogoni and Campana Dune, is available, with Campana Dune featuring an exclusive guest area and bar.
For relaxation, the resort's spa provides treatments utilizing local ingredients and includes a Bioaquam Circuit with hydrotherapy, sauna, and steam baths. Other facilities include a gym and a piazza with boutiques and cafes. The resort also offers opportunities for winery tours, with Cantine Nuraghe Anthigori Winery noted for its organic wines and scenic setting.
