The year swings from a cold January to a hot, humid August, with rainfall concentrated around November — usually the least comfortable stretch of the year. In May, expect highs around 23°C with rain on roughly 4 days of the month.

Things to Do

The island's beaches, particularly along the Costa Smeralda, are the main draw, alongside ancient nuraghi stone towers inland.
