In 2026 Sardinia is ready to confirm itself again as the promised land for those choosing Digital Nomadism as work approach: unspoilt nature, excellent Internet connection in the main cities and a growing community of remote professionals, fueled especially by initiatives that promote the repopulation of hinterland villages by offering free or extremely cheap accommodation (just 1€!).

Cities such as Olbia, Alghero and Sassari have coworking spaces, while locations such as Santa Teresa di Gallura and Castelsardo offer a more relaxed atmosphere without sacrificing technological comforts. Sardinian hospitality and the more affordable cost of living compared to other European destinations complete the perfect setting for working with a view of the crystal clear sea.

Moreover, these corners of paradise are enlivened by events and manifestations that keep alive customs and traditions that have been handed down for centuries. Our itinerary linked to digital nomadism will also introduce you to the Salude & Trigu program, promoted by the Chamber of Commerce of Sassari, a veritable treasure trove of magical places, experiences and encounters to immerse yourself in the region's most authentic soul!

Alghero, with its fascinating mix of history and modernity, is an ideal destination for digital nomads.

The historic centre, characterised by cobbled streets and ancient monuments, offers a unique environment that stimulates creativity and relaxation, while modern coworking spaces and numerous cafés with high-speed Wi-Fi ensure an ideal environment for efficient work. The city boasts a wealth of cultural offerings and events that enliven the evenings, making every moment enjoyable outside working hours.

To reach Alghero, the most convenient option is the Alghero-Fertilia airport, which provides direct connections to several national and international destinations. From here, the digital nomad has several options to get around and start exploring Sardinia.

If you travel by car or van, you can admire the breathtaking views of the island along the way; if you prefer to relax, you can take advantage of the regional bus services that connect the city to the main areas of the island. To make your trip even more fascinating, you could choose a boat trip to enjoy the views from the sea and relax completely lulled by the waves.

Arriving in Stintino by boat means starting the experience in full contact with the sea, the central element of this second unmissable stop for digital nomads.

Sailing to this location allows one to immediately immerse oneself in a relaxed and authentic atmosphere: the intense blue of the Mediterranean, the sea breeze and the charm of the port create a unique welcome that stimulates both the mind and the senses. Once in Stintino, its picturesque coastline and the nearby beach paradise of La Pelosa offer breathtaking scenery ideal for regenerating after intense work sessions. The location itself immediately appears privileged, showing a seaside village that seems hanging between water and sky.

Between cosy cafés with Wi-Fi and informal outdoor spaces, the town is perfect for those seeking a balance between productivity and relaxation, making navigation itself an integral part of an itinerary designed specifically for those who choose to do digital nomadism in Sardinia.

You should not miss the opportunity to go ashore though and work while traveling even far from the coastline. Would you like to continue by car to better explore the sardinian hinterland?

Driving from Stintino, the journey turns into a real tour of discovery of the authentic heart of Sardinia, an area rich in charm and mystery.

The exploration of authentic villages that maintain their identity despite the passing of time is accompanied by the sight of testimonies of a millenary past.

After exploring Gallura, a fascinating territory stretching from the coast to the hinterland, continue on to Palau, the starting point for the La Maddalena archipelago, a paradise of islands and islets full of hidden coves and crystal-clear waters. The last wonder we suggest in this itinerary for digital nomadism is a stop in Olbia, a dynamic and modern city, gateway to one of the world's best coasts.

Sardinia, with its extension and variety of landscapes, requires careful travel planning.

For digital nomads flexibility is key, and this wonderful island offers several options for getting around efficiently. The car remains the most convenient means of exploring the hinterland and hidden coves, but it is advisable to book it in advance, especially in high season.

For those who prefer public transport, the bus network connects the main towns and tourist centres, with more frequent schedules in summer. In the cities, it is possible to rent bicycles or scooters to get around easily. To reach the smaller islands, such as La Maddalena or Asinara, ferries are the main means of transport.

If you want a more adventurous experience, hiring a camper van can be a great way to explore the island in total freedom, with the possibility of working and sleeping surrounded by nature.

For a unique perspective on the coast, also consider hiring a boat, ideal for exploring hidden bays and enjoying breathtaking views from the sea, while preserving your desire for relaxation and independence. Can you imagine your own office with the real and authentic backdrop of the Sardinian sea?

It's definitely advisable to have your own private transportation, especially a car, which can be easily rented in the region's main tourist cities. A car is the ideal way to travel easily and at your own pace between the coast and the hinterland, while for short trips or simple urban mobility, bicycles, scooters and kick scooters can also be rented. More adventurous digital nomads can also consider traveling and working in a camper or boat, more expensive alternatives but certainly rich in charm, landscapes and truly unique experiences.

Yes, some small villages in Sardinia's hinterland have long since launched programs to repopulate and enrich their areas starting with remote work indeed, offering freelance professionals from around the world free accommodation or so (usually paying a nominal fee of €1). These places are often surrounded by greenery and far from the hustle and bustle of cities, offering digital nomads quiet, relaxing work environments that stimulate and inspire creatives amid picturesque rural landscapes and a charming lifestyle still closely tied to nature. Internet connection is guaranteed by improved local network infrastructure and the availability of mobile phone cards from Italy's leading operators with access to high-speed web network.
