Character and identity
Set on a private cove of the Costa Smeralda, this 1960s Jacques Couëlle creation was conceived as a fantasy fishing village, all pastel facades, terracotta tiles, exposed wooden beams and whitewashed walls inset with hand-painted frescoes. The 121 rooms and suites are individually themed, with ceramic tilework, handcrafted furniture and terraces facing gardens or the bay. The compound runs to a private beach, one of the Mediterranean's largest saltwater pools, three restaurants (including Matsuhisa at Cala di Volpe for Nobu's Japanese-Peruvian repertoire), three bars, and a Japanese-inflected Shiseido Spa in cool slate-grey rooms. Access to Pevero Golf Club, tennis, sailing and diving rounds out the day.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples and well-heeled families drawn to the Costa Smeralda's see-and-be-seen summer rhythm, who want a private beach, serious cooking at Matsuhisa, yacht excursions and golf at Pevero, wrapped in a romantic, slightly theatrical Mediterranean fantasy. Design lovers will appreciate the Couëlle architecture and the room-by-room individuality.
Should look elsewhere:
Travellers seeking a sleek contemporary product or minimalist design will find the 1960s rusticity and whimsical frescoes too mannered. It's also not the choice for anyone wanting an intimate, low-key boutique stay or value pricing; this is high-season Sardinia at full tilt.
Bottom line
What you're paying for is the setting: a private cove, a vast saltwater pool, and a Couëlle-designed village that still feels like nowhere else on the island, with Matsuhisa and the Shiseido Spa as serious anchors. Book a sea-view suite with a proper terrace, target June or September to dodge the August crush and rates, and lean on the concierge for boat days.
