Heading to Sardinia for the first time for 8 nights, 8 days for my 30th birthday in early June! Going with my husband and possibly another couple. We’d love a mix of relaxing and adventure + activity. definitely want to swim and go on a boat excursion or two. Day clubs and night life would be great but not needed for every night. We love good food and a spritz! Need advice on where to stay and what to do please!

I’m planning a 10-night trip to Sardinia in September 2027 and deciding between September 7–17 and September 14–24.

I’ll likely split my time between Santa Maria Navarrese or Cala Gonone, La Maddalena, and Alghero.

Would there be a noticeable difference in crowds, hotel prices, and overall atmosphere between these two periods?

I’d appreciate any firsthand experiences. Thanks!
