Learn More About Porto Cervo

Located in the heart of the Mediterranean, Sardinia is an island of extreme beauty, contrasting landscapes and a vibrant cultural heritage. Embraced by 1,800 kilometres of extraordinarily beautiful coastline—the Costa Smeralda among its most stunning—it is a destination famous for its beaches and water sports, offering everything from sailing and windsurfing to snorkelling and diving.

Renowned for the purity of its waters and characterised by dramatic cliffs that line white-sand beaches, the Costa Smeralda has been welcoming the world's travelling elite since the 1960s. Discover designer boutiques and exceptional dining, as well as a thriving nightlife at La Piazzetta. Nearby, the acclaimed Pevero Golf Club challenges even the most discriminating players, while inland, mountainous terrain interspersed with juniper trees and wildflowers protects a history spanning four millennia with prehistoric archaeological sites, ancient nuraghi stone structures unique to Sardinia, and Phoenician, Punic and Roman architectural ruins and monuments.
