Overview
The capital of the Costa Smeralda where luxury meets dreamy views
Porto Cervo is the kingdom of luxury holidays. It is the undisputed capital of the Costa Smeralda, that marvellous stretch of coastline stretching from Capo Ferro to the Gulf of Cugnana in north-eastern Sardinia. Known the world over for its dreamy landscapes, its nightlife and the international jet-set that has made it a symbol of the Italian summer, Porto Cervo was born with this tourist vocation that gives a nod to glitz. Suffice to say that when in 1962 Prince Karim Aga Khan IV purchased the land on which the old harbour, and around it the entire centre of Porto Cervo, would soon be built, a real stage designer was brought in to design a luxury holiday resort set in the natural wonders of Sardinia.
Today, more than 60 years later, Porto Cervo welcomes hundreds of yachts every summer. The entire old town, built around the scenic Piazzetta delle Chiacchiere, is a succession of elegant shops, jewellery shops, trendy clubs, parties and events that attract celebrities from all over the world.
If you prefer white sand and crystal-clear sea to nightlife, you will find breathtaking views at the many beaches surrounding the city. Like the Caribbean of Pevero, the tranquil Romazzino, Cala Petra Ruja e Cala Granu.
