More a collection of hotels, holiday homes and campsites than a traditional village, Chia is a hugely popular summer hangout. To see what all the fuss is about, head up to the Spanish watchtower and look down on its two ravishing beaches – to the west, the Spiaggia Sa Colonia ; to the east, the smaller Spiaggia Su Portu .
A paradise for windsurfers and sports fans, these sandy beaches play host to the annual Chia Classic, a surf, windsurf and kitesurf event held between April and June.
