At Resort Valle dell’Erica, Discovery Nature has been launched: a new weekly programme with marine biologist Stella Maria Malva dedicated to learning about and respecting the environment.
In the resort recognised as Europe’s greenest at the World Travel Awards, a holiday is not only about relaxation, but also an opportunity to experience Sardinia’s extraordinary nature up close. Guided snorkelling, nature walks and boat trips to discover the local flora and fauna: there are many activities designed to encourage respect for and protection of the environment. With the Discovery Nature programme, led by marine biologist Stella Maria Malva, both adults and children can immerse themselves in unique experiences that combine fun with environmental awareness.
Every day at Ericaland, children take centre stage. Armed with curiosity and a spirit of adventure, they explore the wonders of Sardinia’s natural world through the scientific Discovery Nature programme under the guidance of the marine biologist. With Bio-observation, for example, they become aspiring biologists, learning to recognise plants and animals through a scientific lens. Then there is guided snorkelling, a dive into the seabed of Northern Sardinia to observe the fish and marine life inhabiting these waters, preceded by an engaging presentation on Sardinia’s marine organisms. Among the activities is also a beach clean-up, highlighting the importance of protecting the sea from plastic pollution.
The beauty of the Discovery Nature programme is that it is not only for children. Adults can enjoy a private charter excursion with the marine biologist on board to reveal the secrets of the Mediterranean. For sea lovers, there are also guided snorkelling tours, perfect for discovering the seabed with an expert. Those who prefer a relaxing walk along the resort’s trails to discover native species can take part in the flora and fauna tour to learn more about local plants and wildlife.
Discovery Nature is designed for those who wish to experience their holiday not only as a moment of relaxation, but also as an opportunity to connect with nature in an authentic way. Each activity becomes a chance to learn something new, to develop greater environmental awareness and to take home memories that go beyond a simple stay. At the Discovery Nature Office in the Piazzetta degli Ulivi, guests can take part in talks, immerse themselves in nature-themed reading and deepen their knowledge of the environment around us.
