Where Luxury and Family Freedom Work Together
ENAJA Luxury Retreat is located in the coastal village of Budoni in Sardinia, which is bursting with sun and is the ideal place for family retreats, a place for kids to wander for hours whilst parents don’t have to think about them and can actually relax. ENAJA is an exclusive retreat of Grand Suites and Villas with the benefits of luxury resort services while providing the privacy of a villa holiday. The retreat caters to the expanding travel trends for family holidays combining multiple generations. At ENAJA everyone in the family has something they can share, be it playing in oceans heated pool, venturing into Sardinia for the untamed beauty of nature or simply enjoying an alfresco dinner under the stars.
Nature and Budoni
Sardinia’s northeast coast is where ENAJA sits, enveloped by nature’s finest offerings. ENAJA lies on the edge of a marine protected area south of San Teodoro and south of Tavolara. Here you find nature’s unspoilt beauty of white-sand beaches, coastal ponds and live, magical pine forests full of the Mediterranean scent. Family guests staying at ENAJA can easily spot pink flamingos in the shallow white lagoon waters nearby or get a waft of that wild myrtle on a perfect warm breeze. Budoni, the village itself, is only a short walk away; it features a stunning beach and a picturesque marina at Porto Ottiolu that is perfect for passeggiate and aperitifs at sea. During the day, you may find your family and kids taking to the shaded pine trails to jog or ride bikes, only to return to ENAJA’s lush lawns for a cooling dip. Nature awaits you/relaxes you in all directions, providing a beautiful backdrop for adventure, and so many small moments of joy.
Sardinian Style, Design and Comfort
The minute you step into an ENAJA villa or suite you realise you are not in ordinary rental accommodation. It is a design enthusiast’s paradise that has been infused with the soul of Sardinia. The houses are all named after local flora – for example Olivastro, Bougainvillea, Lentisco and so on – and every material and piece of furniture is considered, using many local resources. Expect to see local stone and wood with unique pieces by Italian artisans, and colours inspired by the wonderful colours of the island’s flora and sea.
Moreover, this commitment to design is about more than aesthetics; it is about authenticity and sustainability. All the furniture is bespoke made-to-measure and fully eco-sustainable, representing a demonstration of deep respect for the environment and local culture. The result is a space that is both elegant and welcoming, and in which modern luxury exists in harmony with nature. With large glass doors and shaded patios, ENAJA’s stylish accommodations dissolve the boundaries of indoors and out, creating a seamless experience of space and ease. Even if you may be lounging in a modern living room, you will still feel the breeze and warmth of the Sardinian sun still filtering through.
Room To Breathe, Space to Connect
Unlike typical hotel rooms, ENAJA’s spaces give you room to breathe. Each of our Grand Suites and Villas can be considered like an apartment of considerable space. In the Grand Suites or Villas, you’ll find at least 2 bedrooms and a common area, as well as two bathrooms, with up to three bedrooms in some units. Because everyone, from the youngest toddlers to the eldest grandparents, will need quiet time from one another, the spaces are designed to provide intimate nooks while allowing for large, shared spaces for connecting.
All our suites have fully equipped kitchens, with dishwasher, washing machine and even a barbecue for really making use of the fresh produce you get in Sardinia. For parents, this means they can just whip up a quick snack or plan a cousin feast, and at the time they wish. Imagine the scene after an afternoon of swimming: the towels drying, the kids helping chop the vegetables for dinner, and the local sausage and fish sizzling away on the barbecue with the woody scents of rosemary and zesty lemon enveloping the air. These simple pleasures make a holiday a time of family connection.
ENAJA also offers this autonomy piece of mind. Each room has its own private entrance and garden with secure parking and discreet 24/7 video surveillance. High speed wi-fi and air conditioning ensure the teenagers can stream whatever they please and everyone can escape the heat during the midday siesta. Despite all the comforts this is still all very slow and natural. Wake up listening to birdsong pouring through the shutters, float the hours away by the pool and in the evening – bring the whole family together for board games in the terrace or to simply sip on a glass of vino under the stars.
Sardinia awaits you. In this busy world, ENAJA offers the ultimate luxury: your time, wisely spent – and spent together!
