Ogliastra is one of the world’s Blue Zones — where wellness, nature and authentic Mediterranean living meet. From sea-view villas by the coast, to charming countryside retreats, and apartments in peaceful coastal villages, this region offers balance, beauty, and lifestyle for those who value quality and serenity.

The province of Ogliastra was a province in eastern Sardinia, Italy. Ogliastra was the most mountainous province in Sardinia. With only some 57,642 inhabitants, it was also the least populous province of Italy. The province had a population density of 31.08 inhabitants per square kilometer, and its president was Bruno Pilia. It corresponded roughly to the medieval Giudicato of Agugliastra. The province of Ogliastra comprises 23 comuni (plural; singular: comune), as listed in the communes of the Province of Ogliastra.
In 2016, it was suppressed, and all of its municipalities but one joined the Province of Nuoro. The city of Seui joined the newest Province of South Sardinia.
The province had two capitals, the towns and comuni Tortolì (the largest comune) and Lanusei. On 6 May 2012, the regional referendums of Sardinia took place regarding the abolition of certain provinces and a variety of other matters. The Regional Council of Sardinia approved the suggestion of reforming or abolishing certain provinces in Sardinia on 24 May 2012.
