Top 5-Star Hotels in Porto Cervo – VIP Perks & Curated Luxury Experiences

Porto Cervo is the centrepiece of the Costa Smeralda — the 55-kilometre stretch of northeastern Sardinian coast developed in the 1960s by the Aga Khan as a Mediterranean luxury enclave. Vincenzo Monaldi designed the village itself around a natural harbour now lined with superyachts each summer. The wider Costa Smeralda includes the bays of Romazzino, Pevero, Capriccioli, Liscia di Vacca, and the protected La Maddalena archipelago just offshore. Olbia airport is 30 minutes south.

Where to Stay – Porto Cervo's Best Luxury Areas

• Porto Cervo Marina & Village – The pastel-coloured village around the Old Port and the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda — boutiques, the Stella Maris Church, and the most-photographed marina in the Mediterranean.
• Cala di Volpe & Pevero Bay – The crescent bay south of Porto Cervo with the Pevero Golf Course and one of the Costa's defining beaches. Hotel Cala di Volpe sits directly on its own private bay, designed to look like an ancient fishing village.

• Liscia di Vacca & Punta Volpe (North) – The exclusive coves just north of Porto Cervo with the calmest waters and the most private addresses. Hotel Pitrizza nestles into the granite rocks here in a series of villa suites.
