Sardinia in October is the perfect time to discover the island’s most authentic side: warm seas, quiet bays, and excellent restaurants that stay open for those who enjoy the slower rhythm of late season. Discover where to go, where to dine, and how to experience northern Sardinia away from the crowds, between crystal waters and refined coastal flavors.
Between Porto Rotondo and Tavolara, Cala Sabina and Cala Moresca remain calm and bright, perfect for anchoring and enjoying a last swim in peace. In Golfo Aranci, L’Ostrica Ubriaca stays open through October, serving fresh oysters, seafood pasta, and a curated selection of premium local and national wines right by the quay. Around Porto Cervo, Quattro Passi al Pescatore welcomes guests until the end of the month, offering refined cuisine on a terrace just above the water.
Further north, the La Maddalena Archipelago is breathtaking in autumn — transparent waters, quiet anchorages, and the soft silence of nature between Spargi and Budelli. After a day onboard, you can dine at Ristorante L’Avventura in La Maddalena. Otherwise,cross to Cala Capra, near Palau, for a dinner at Il Paguro, famous among captains for its view and fresh catch of the day. And just across the strait, Bonifacio offers its calm marina and welcoming restaurants like Le Voilier and Da Passano, still open in the old port. Sardinia in October means genuine flavors, peaceful seas, and the most elegant calm of the year — a time to rediscover the island’s truest charm.
