At The Great Wellbeing, we are passionate about helping people discover the secrets to a longer, healthier, and more fulfilling life and that’s why we specialize in designing immersive Blue Zone tours exclusively in Sardinia, one of the world’s renowned longevity hotspots.
With us, you’ll experience firsthand the unique lifestyle and traditions that have made Sardinia a beacon of health and vitality.
The Origins of Blue Zones
The concept of Blue Zones emerged from a groundbreaking study conducted by Dan Buettner in collaboration with National Geographic and a team of experts. In the early 2000s, Buettner set out to identify regions where people consistently live longer and healthier lives. His research was heavily influenced by the foundational work of two demographers, Gianni Pes and Michel Poulain. These pioneers were instrumental in pinpointing Sardinia as one of the initial longevity hotspots, thanks to the remarkable concentration of centenarians in the Barbagia region.
Why Sardinia?
Sardinia, Italy, is one of the five original Blue Zones identified by Buettner. It is particularly notable for the exceptional longevity of its male population—men in Sardinia live longer than anywhere else in the world. This is attributed to a combination of factors, including a plant-rich Mediterranean diet, active lifestyles, strong family ties, and a deeply rooted sense of community.
