Less crowded beaches, good weather and beautiful landscapes. After the summer temperatures the weather is more pleasant compared to the months of July and August, the pace has slowed since the summer crowds have diminished and there are less families with children on the beaches so they are less crowded and more peaceful, ideal for relaxing and sharing unforgettable moments with your partner.
“Sardinian Signature” stands not just for beauty but also bodily health thanks to the beneficial properties of the excellent local products: myrtle, grapes, sea salt, helichrysum and eucalyptus are just some of the natural Sardinian resources used in the special range of facial and body treatments at the Marinedda SPA at Isola Rossa.
The special “Elisir di giovinezza” facial treatment using Cannonau grapes is one of the most frequently requested treatments on the “Sardinian Signature” menu.
Wine therapy, increasingly in vogue in recent years, has its roots in ancient Greece. In recent years, thanks to research undertaken in the Bordeaux region of France, the benefits of grapes in aesthetic terms have been re-evaluated and are especially recommended to prevent skin ageing.
Sardinia is a land rich in vineyards and the Cannonau grape is the most widespread of all. Compared to other grapes the renowned black fruit turns out to be three times richer in polyphenols, multifunctional ingredients contained in the seeds, stems and skin of the fruit. Cannonau grapes have a powerful antioxidant effect on the skin, which stimulates the production of collagen and prevents the formation of wrinkles.
In the “Elisir di Giovinezza” facial treatment, the soothing and moisturizing action of grapes is linked to the positive cosmetic effects of helichrysum, a fragrant plant that is common on the island which relaxes and regenerates the skin. The exfoliating action is carried out using obsidian, a typical volcanic stone from Monte Arci which is rich in magnesium and iron while oranges and lemons stimulate cell renewal and give radiance to the skin.
An idyllic moment dedicated to your face during a relaxing holiday in Northern Sardinia.
Ideas for what to do in and around Isola Rossa during the weekend of June 2nd in Gallura: choices between white beaches and local traditions.
June in Sardinia is the precursor to Summer. The weather is perfect for spending days by the sea and Gallura has some truly beautiful scenery. The resorts along the coast and the in-land areas are getting ready to welcome the first guests, presenting traditional events and festivals featuring typical local products.
Make the most of this long 2nd of June weekend for a last minute holiday in Sardinia that will allow you to enjoy the first hot sunshine and special offers at luxury Hotels at low season prices.
The typical little village of Isola Rossa and the white beach at La Marinedda are the perfect destination for a break by the sea during the 2nd of June long weekend, a paradise beach on the Golfo dell’Asinara, where the 5 star Hotel La Marinedda is located, well known for its Thalasso Wellness Centre & Spa, the Elicriso.
A long four-day weekend spent discovering traditions and relaxing by the sea. Between the first swims of the season and getting a tan, here are a few things to do in and around La Marinedda.
Among the events not to be missed is La Primavera in Gallura (Spring in Gallura), a piece of travelling theatre through different towns in the area, which offers a presentation of life and rituals that were a part of the culture of the “Gallura stazzi” , typical rural settlements and private houses where shepherds and farmers lived and worked the land.
On June 2nd the third stage of the event looking at traditions in Gallura will be held in Trinità d’Agultu, 5 minutes from Isola Rossa. The presentation based on the theme “L’abbrazzu- Saperi e Sapori” presents the moment of the “embrace” which according to the rituals of the culture surrounding the “Stazzi” marks the moment of the official engagement. This is the formalization after the “Pricunta”, i.e. the request for engagement to the family of the intended bride. The villagers and townspeople in traditional dress re-enact the ancient traditions of Gallura life from the 1700s/1800s: the man’s family go via ox cart to the woman’s home to formalize the engagement in the town square, where stalls are set up that represent the ancient crafts. A journey through traditions and tastings of typical products to discover the real Sardinia just a few steps from the sea.
Instead the morning of June 4th sees the arrival of Primavera in Gallura in Aggius, 20 minutes from Trinità d’Agultu. This stage represents the “transhumance” ritual, i.e. the movement of the shepherds who went in search of new pastures to feed the animals in their herds and flocks. The event in Aggius entitled “Il carro a buoi e i mestieri carrai” will allow you to observe the difficult profession of the wheelwright or cartwright and all the preparatory stages of creating the wagon that once harnessed to the oxen will travel along the road that passes through the rocky valley commonly known as the Valle della Luna, or Valley of the Moon. Aggius will also give you the chance to discover the local tastes and flavours of Gallura by visiting this authentic village with its two museums and the typical narrow streets decorated with artwork by the Sardinian artist Maria Lai and paintings by local artists.
A long June 2nd weekend at La Marinedda with sea and excursions in Northern Sardinia with ethnotours that will allow you to discover the flavours and ancient traditions of this magical island, a mother of pagan customs and rituals that are still celebrated today.
