Porto Pollo in Sardinia is where we’ve been windsurfing, kite surfing and wakeboarding for the last 5 summers and it‘s equally breathtaking! It is hot, windy, very chilled, very beautiful and really easy to get to. We thought it only fair to share this well kept secret with you!its perfect for stag weekends and hen weekends.
Stag Weekends in Sardinia
Hen Weekends in Sardinia
Warm, crystal clear waters, white beaches, islands, wind, waves, board shorts and bikinis, beautiful locals and local culture, beach bars and parties, sunsets, hammocks, bbq’s, all under the magical Med sunshine... what more could a stag or hen want?...After running awesome snow holidays for stag and hens, for 7 seasons in Chamonix, France, We have headed south, to the stunning Italian island of Sardinia and for the past four seasons have been offering the same service and good times in the summer arena.
The place is Palau in the N.E. of the island and just round the corner from Porto Pollo, the Mecca for water sports in Sardinia. Whether you want to windsurf, kite surf, dive, sail or just chill in the sun and take everything in, this is an ideal location, with everything on hand to meet all your needs. With so much to do on and off the water you’ll struggle to fit it all in a stag weekend or week so why not stay two!!!
The sailing is some of the best in Europe, add to that the amazing locations, wind consistency, islands, good swells, lack of people and warm waters, and you’ve got a recipe for an unparalleled week in the sun and on the water. With back to back bays, the beach caters for all levels, with large winds and chop on the leeward side and flat water and constant winds on the windward. Also within easy reach of the villa are locations suiting all conditions, providing the opportunity to wave sail at numerous beaches, reefs and points.
We are hooked up with Sardinia's number 1 water sports centre, Sporting Club Sardinia, offering windsurfing, kiting, sailing and diving. They have an amazing setup with all the equipment and facilities to make the most out of what you want to achieve in all the sports. Whether it’s renting, outings or instruction you’re after, they have everything you’ll need for your stay. The staff are fantastic, creating a great atmosphere, they have a beach bar, hosting infamous beach parties and an awesome place to hang and take in the whole feel of Sardinia. A stag weekend or hen weekend you will never forget
When you’ve had enough on the water you’ll be more than amused with the island’s empty beaches, scooter rides, ancient history, night time promenades through the markets, chilling at the villa, sampling the local products and cuisine or just a whole load of sun baking, does the hen want a all over tan for the wedding night?.
We have had many people enjoy the area and return so we want to get you there to show off how good this place can be....come check it out.

Activities in Sardinia
Beach Bar BBQ
If Porto Cervo sounds a bit fancy/expensive for your tastes then maybe a party at the local beach bar would be more your scene. After a hard day on the water what could be better than watching the sun go down over the islands with some good music and a gourmet BBQ cooked especially for you. We’ll setup the BBQ at Rupi’s bar on the beach at Porto Pollo and you can show off your new tans and check out all the other kitesurf dudes and babes.
Island cliff jumps
We’ll take you out in our boats to some of our favourite rock jumps out in the islands. You can take your pick from a gentle 20 footer to a frankly almost crazy 60ft+!
