Le Thermae, the Thalassotherapy Centre and Spa, consists of four outdoor sea water circuit pools of varying temperatures, 15 treatment chalets, a Turkish bath, sauna and fitness room. Spa treatments include detoxifying body wraps, oxygen-fusion facials and Sardinian essential oils massages. Making the most of acres of natural surrounds, the resort has created a complimentary outdoor fitness trail with 14 stops along the way equipped with workout benches, slalom jumps and balancing poles.

The whole resort is nestled between secluded bays and long stretches of beach opening out onto emerald waters calling on you to explore. There are sailing adventures on the hotel’s fully restored 1920s Norwegian ship as well as a fleet of boats that will take you on deep sea fishing trips, on mini cruises to Corsica or to La Maddalena and the Archipelago of Marvels. In Santa Teresa di Gallura, just a fifteen-minute drive away, you'll find diving schools and watersports centres offering kayak and paddleboard rental.

As a three-time Europe’s Leading Green Resort winner, Valle Dell’Erica, part of the Delphina group, plays a powerful role in sustainable travel. Solution-focused initiatives in place include the use of 100% green energy, electric buggies and free electric charging stations for those with vehicles. Bathrooms are kitted out with paraben-free toiletries, biodegradable straws replace plastic and cleaning services use environmentally friendly products. Furnishings and furniture are sourced locally and come from Sardinian artisans whilst the restaurants follow the group's Genuine Local Food Oriented® project, offering healthy produce that’s locally sourced and where possible at zero kilometres.

There are plenty of opportunities for parents to slink off to swim, sail and spa whilst the kids are kept entertained. Ericaland consists of a playground, adventure park, cinema space and creative space and there is a Baby Club (2-3 years old), a Mini Club (4-9 years old) and a kid’s pool. Entertainment is diverse – jewellery making, volleyball and souvenir making but also, for 10-13 year olds, Nintendo Wii’s and PlayStations, snorkelling, canoeing and free golf lessons. A highlight is the Robinson Crusoe Adventure Experience, a full day and evening of canoeing, photography and star watching. For the littlest of ones there’s a fully equipped nursery complete with changing stations, bottle warmers, highchairs and pushchairs.
