Hotel Cala di Volpe, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Costa Smeralda.
Designed by architect Jacques Couëlle in the 1960s, Hotel Cala di Volpe was conceived as a stylized Mediterranean fishing village, defined by sculptural plaster walls, pastel facades, and hand-painted Sardinian furniture. This architectural landmark on the Costa Smeralda balances rustic charm with high-end refinement, featuring terracotta tiles and heavy wooden beams throughout its 121 guest rooms. The grounds host one of Europe's largest saltwater pools, while a five-minute boat shuttle transports guests to a secluded private beach. Culinary options are extensive, ranging from the world-class Matsuhisa at Cala di Volpe to the casual Beefbar. Beyond the Shiseido Spa and Mouratoglou Tennis Center, the hotel serves as a gateway to the Pevero Golf Club, maintaining its status as the social and aesthetic heart of the Sardinian coastline.
