Sardinia in Autumn 2026: Olive Harvest, Tennis & 10% Off
Sardinia is traditionally associated with summer, beaches and turquoise Mediterranean water. But September and October are increasingly becoming an attractive second travel season on the island. The temperatures are more comfortable, the summer crowds gradually disappear and Sardinia reveals a different side of its landscape, cuisine and traditions.
For travellers looking for more than a classic beach holiday, autumn offers an excellent combination of outdoor activities, gastronomy, wellness and sport. One particularly interesting experience is the olive harvest, while tennis enthusiasts can combine their stay with professional training, tennis holidays or even a group tennis trip.
Sardinia in September and October
September is an ideal month for travellers who still want to enjoy the Mediterranean climate and warm sea without the intensity of the peak summer season. October is particularly attractive for active holidays. Walking, cycling, sightseeing and tennis are much more comfortable when daytime temperatures are generally lower than during July and August.
The countryside also becomes more interesting at this time of year. After the long, hot summer, Sardinia enters its autumn agricultural season. Olive harvesting is an important part of rural life and provides visitors with an opportunity to experience Sardinian food culture beyond the restaurants and tourist resorts.
Experience the olive harvest in Sardinia
The olive harvest is one of the characteristic autumn activities in Sardinia. Depending on the region and the weather, harvesting traditionally takes place during the autumn months and continues into the early winter.
For visitors, this is an opportunity to discover another side of the island: olive groves, local producers, traditional agricultural methods and freshly produced extra virgin olive oil.
Food lovers can combine an autumn stay with visits to local markets, farms, wineries and restaurants. Sardinian cuisine is particularly well suited to this season, with locally produced olive oil, vegetables, cheese, bread, pasta and regional specialities playing an important role.
Autumn tennis holidays at Forte Village
Autumn is also an excellent time for a tennis holiday in Sardinia.
One of the most interesting destinations for tennis travellers is Forte Village Resort in southern Sardinia.
The resort has an extensive sports programme and tennis facilities, making it suitable not only for individual tennis holidays but also for organised tennis groups. Tennis clubs, groups of friends and sports organisations can use Sardinia as the setting for a tennis trip combining training, sport and relaxation.
This makes Forte Village particularly interesting for travellers who do not simply want to spend their holiday beside the pool or on the beach. A tennis group can combine regular training sessions and matches with the resort’s other sports, wellness and leisure facilities.
Special October offer at Forte Village
For October 2026, Forte Village is particularly interesting because of a special offer with 10% off.
This can make October an attractive alternative to the traditional summer holiday period, particularly for tennis groups and active travellers who prefer comfortable temperatures and a quieter atmosphere.
The combination of an autumn stay, tennis training and Sardinian food and wine experiences creates a very different type of holiday from a conventional July or August beach trip.
For tennis clubs and groups, an autumn trip can also be planned around a specific training programme. Depending on the group size and requirements, it may be possible to arrange tennis activities for the whole group rather than booking individual tennis holidays.
Tennis groups in Sardinia
Sardinia is particularly suitable for a tennis group holiday because sport can be combined with a wide range of other activities.
A group might spend the morning on the tennis court, enjoy lunch together and use the afternoon for wellness, cycling, excursions or relaxation. In October, the climate is generally much more comfortable for intensive sporting activities than during the hottest summer weeks.
Forte Village can therefore be considered not only for private tennis holidays but also for tennis clubs, tennis teams and organised groups looking for a destination for training camps, tennis weeks or a combination of sport and leisure.
Why choose Sardinia in autumn 2026?
September and October offer several advantages:
- More comfortable temperatures for sport and outdoor activities
- Fewer visitors than during the main summer season
- Excellent conditions for tennis and cycling
- Autumn agricultural traditions such as the olive harvest

Sardinia, olive harvest and tennis – a different autumn holiday
Sardinia in September and October is no longer simply a choice for travellers who want to avoid the summer heat. It is becoming a season in its own right.
The olive harvest, regional cuisine, outdoor activities and sporting opportunities create a strong combination for an active autumn holiday. For tennis players and groups, the possibility of combining professional tennis facilities with a Mediterranean resort makes the season particularly appealing.
For an October 2026 tennis holiday or tennis group at Forte Village, the current special offer of 10% off makes this autumn particularly worth considering.
