The Forte Village Resort is a 5-star Resort, consisting of 8 hotels for a total of 714 rooms, and is located in one of the most beautiful and unspoilt resorts of southern Sardinia in Santa Margherita di Pula, 40 km from Cagliari.
The 8 hotels inside the resort are diversified both by category and by customer target. Il Borgo, Bouganville and Le Palme hotels are part of the 4-star category, while Il Pineta, Le Dune, Villa del Parco, Il Castello and the Waterfront Suites are superior. In addition, you can experience the Resort in an even more exclusive way thanks to the 13 prestigious Villas that represent the spearhead among the offers of Forte Village.
The Resort was opened by Lord Charles Forte in 1974 and, as a result of many vicissitudes that will lead him to be subject to several changes of ownership, today it belongs and is managed by the company Progetto Esmeralda srl.
Thanks to the management team of Lorenzo Giannuzzi, the Resort has been radically transformed becoming in 1998, according to the World Travel Awards, the best luxury Resort in the world.
In recent years, large investments have been made for the creation of new bungalows, villas and swimming pools and for the renovation of the already existing parts of the resort. The latest novelty of 2016 was the realization of the Forte Arena, the theater under the stars that has already hosted important names of the national and international show.
In addition to the hotels, to date, is available to guests a wide selection of gourmet restaurants or buffet for a total of 22 outlets. But the most fascinating attractions of the resort are the spa and thalassotherapy, the sports academies and events organized for guests, such as the countless evenings with starred chefs and the events of the square. At Forte Village the offer is so wide to satisfy any request and every type of guest.
