Sardinia’s Southern Jewel in Is Molas and Beyond
Southern Sardinia is where timeless landscapes meet contemporary comforts. At the heart of this balance lies the Is Molas Resort offering seclusion, natural beauty, and proximity to the island’s most captivating attractions.
A Setting Rich in Nature and Culture
Located in the town of Pula, just 30 kilometers from Cagliari’s international airport, Is Molas Resort feels private while being easily accessible. Residents are just a short drive from southern Sardinia’s best-known beaches, including Tuerredda, Chia, and Porto Pino – known for their white sand and turquoise water. Just as close are key cultural landmarks, including the ancient Roman ruins of Nora and the UNESCO-listed Su Nuraxi Nuragic village.

What sets the region apart is its balance between tranquility and convenience. Cagliari offers history, nightlife, and modern infrastructure, while nearby leisure options and a science and technology park showcase Sardinia’s growing innovation economy. With its mild year-round climate and high quality of life, this part of the island is increasingly popular among international buyers looking for second homes, relocations, or investment properties.
A Real Estate Market on the Rise
Southern Sardinia’s real estate market has shown steady growth, driven by increasing demand and limited supply in key locations. Pula and its surroundings attract both short-term visitors and long-term residents contributing to rising property values, particularly in premium developments like Is Molas.

Improved infrastructure, including upgraded roads and better air and sea connections via Cagliari, continues to boost accessibility. Meanwhile, investment in sectors like renewable energy and sustainable agriculture is strengthening the regional economy. Demand for luxury properties in Sardinia is on the rise, especially in coastal areas where privacy and exclusivity are paramount.
The island’s appeal goes beyond its natural beauty as buyers are also drawn by its safety, low population density, and enduring lifestyle appeal, making it a sound choice for those seeking both enjoyment and value appreciation.
