Sardara is a traditional thermal spa village in the Campidano plain of southwestern Sardinia, where sulphurous spring water at around 38°C emerges from the ancient basement of the island's oldest geological formations near a nuragic sacred well that has been used for ritual bathing since the Bronze Age. The Santa Maria Is Acquas spa complex, built around the historic spring, continues a tradition of thermal use that spans over three thousand years from the Nuragic civilization through the Phoenician, Roman, and Byzantine periods to the present. The combination of living Bronze Age heritage — the sacred well is one of the finest nuragic hydraulic monuments in Sardinia — and natural therapeutic waters makes Sardara a uniquely layered archaeological and thermal destination.
Insider tip — Terme di Sardara in southern Sardinia occupies an ancient sacred site where Nuragic populations bathed in thermal pools 3,000 years ago, and the on-site archaeological museum displays votive bronzes recovered from the sacred well of Sant'Anastasia. The bicarbonate-sulfate waters at 38°C emerge in the Campidano plain and the modern spa combines traditional cures with contemporary wellness. The flat agricultural landscape of the Campidano is itself historically significant as the granary of ancient Rome. Combine with a visit to the Santa Maria Is Acquas church built over the ancient healing site.
