Setti Ballas Hotels with Bars

Located on a small hill in Chia, it has two exclusive beaches, but both require a 5-minute shuttle bus ride. The beach is very clear and you can clearly see the fish swimming around your feet. The hotel's service and hygiene are great, and there is a simple turndown service. The breakfast is complete, and the hotel's own restaurant is also worth a try.

Our stay at the Baia di Chia Resort Sardinia - Curio can only be described as exceptional. The hotel with its naturally greenery is stunning and beach and sea are like something from a Hollywood movie. While the resort is on a hill which could be challenging, the regular shuttle service negates that. We never waited more than 5 minutes and used it from 7am to 11pm. We took the half board option (it was cheaper to buy it at the front desk during check-in) and in the evening it gave us the opportunity to sample a variety of great Italian food including some local Sardinian dishes. Breakfast had enough variety that we didn’t get bored by it. The first of many surprises was how good the evening show was. I grew up with half-baked shows in Spanish resorts but that is not the case here. The slick choreography, special effects and singing were more what you’d expect in Las Vegas. Our days were spent at the beach and total relaxation was achieved. The hidden diamond of the resort are the beachside classes run by Greta. Greta is one of the dancers in the evening shows and brings that energy to morning yoga/Pilates/aqua aerobics sessions and again in the early evening. Her classes are fun, adaptable to all levels and a great way to meet other people. I would say this was my favourite part of the Baia di Chia experience and I even picked up a few words in Italian (inspiro/espiro). What elevates the Baia di Chia Resort Sardinia - Curio to “best vacation ever” status are the staff. There is a focus on giving guests the very best experience at all times and the warmth is genuine with every “bonjourno” and “buonasera”. A big thank you to the front desk team and especially Melissa and Eleonora. Melissa found work arounds for diet challenges, extended bookings (without needing to change rooms) and even planned out running routes. I suspect if I asked her to get me a flight to the moon and be back in time for the evening show then she would have found a way. We booked for 9 nights and extended to 11 because every moment of this vacation was truly amazing. We can’t wait to go back to the Baia di Chia Resort Sardinia - Curio.
