Hotel Cala di Volpe

The Costa Smerelda, or the Emerald Coast, is so called because of its deep green waters. Spend some time along this beautiful 55km stretch of coastline and explore its pristine beaches and inlets from the comfort of the Hotel Cala di Volpe.

The hotel is a collection of Sardinian houses and a landing stage that juts out into the sea. Its 100 rooms and 21 suites come with sea views and are decorated in traditional Sardinian fashion with hand-fired ceramic floor tiles, hand painted furnishings and Sardinian textiles.

With water so alluring, you’ll want to make use of the hotel’s private beach. Alternatively, wander through the rocky outcrops covered in fragrant laurel and juniper to explore the dozens of hidden inlets, perfect for swimming and snorkelling.

Paying homage to the island, the restaurants are a celebration of Sardinian cuisine. Enjoy local dishes at the Cala di Volpe restaurant or enjoy a balmy evening at the Barbecue restaurant, lit by lanterns and looking out over the twinkling lights of the marina. There are also plenty of spaces to unwind with a drink and soak up the views.
