The Founder
Zona Blu was founded by Malikah, whose relationship with Sardinia began more than a decade ago and gradually became a way of life.
After years of working in travel and building a business centered around Italian food and wine, she found herself drawn not just to the beauty of the island, but to its depth — its traditions, its pace, and the strength of its communities.
Having lived in Sardinia for over twelve years, her connection to the island is personal. What began as exploration became integration — through friendships, daily life, and a deep respect for the culture she now shares with others.
Zona Blu was created from this place of understanding.
Not as a tour company, but as a way to offer others a more meaningful experience of Sardinia — one that reflects the island as it is lived, not just as it is seen.
She now lives between Savannah and Sardinia, guiding each journey with the same care and intention with which it was created.
