An Oasis of Rejuvenation
Nestled amidst Sardinia’s breathtaking landscape, Forte Village offers a wellness experience that transcends ordinary spa visits. At the heart of this oasis is the AcquaForte Thalasso & Spa, where the ancient principles of Thalassotherapy are elevated to new heights. Developed by Dr. Angelo Cerina, the spa’s unique six-pool circuit harnesses the healing properties of seawater, each pool varying in salinity and temperature to maximize health benefits.
My journey began with a comprehensive health assessment, ensuring a personalized wellness plan. The high-salinity pools, infused with minerals like magnesium and potassium, provided unparalleled relaxation and muscle relief. Floating in these therapeutic waters, I felt the stresses of modern life melt away. The burn I got on my wrist from a cooking accident last week healed before my eyes . The experience was complemented by hands-on therapies, including a detoxifying salt-rich mud wrap and a deeply nourishing Sardinian honey massage, expertly delivered by the skilled therapists.

The resort’s commitment to using fresh, locally sourced ingredients is evident in every dish. The gastronomic journey here is punctuated by the presence of Michelin-starred chefs like Heinz Beck, whose creations are both a feast for the eyes and the palate.
Dining at the exclusive Belvedere restaurant was a highlight. Overlooking centuries-old pine trees, we enjoyed a dinner crafted by Head Chef Antonello Arrus, whose passion for Sardinian and Italian cuisine shone through in every bite. The resort’s Celebrity Chef Nights are not to be missed, where culinary stars host gourmet evenings, adding a touch of glamour and creativity to traditional dishes. Each meal at Forte Village is a testament to the island’s rich heritage and the chefs’ innovative flair.
