Sardinia North East
COSTA SMERALDA
Originally a sparsely populated area of rocky, impregnable Mediterranean scrub and 55 kilometres of virgin shoreline, the coast is a continuous succession of islets, rocky promontories and bays, with beaches of fine white sand, all bathed by a clear, emerald-coloured sea, from which the area takes its name. The potential of this natural paradise in north east Sardinia was first spotted by the Aga Khan, who began to develop the area in the 1960's, transforming it into one of the world's most exclusive resorts. Porto Cervo, with its natural harbour, is the hub of the Costa Smeralda and the centre of its social life. There are designer boutiques, chic bars and renowned restaurants including The Grill, Il Pescatore and Il Pomodoro, plus famous discotheques such as Billionaire, Sopravento, Pepero, and Il Ritual. One of the best-equipped marinas in the Mediterranean, it attracts many world famous yachting events and tournaments. For golfers, the Pevero Golf Club offers an 18-hole, 72-par course, designed by Robert Trent Jones.
PORTO ROTONDO
Just across the bay from the Costa Smeralda, the small town of Porto Rotondo owes much of its Venetian influence to its major developer, the Count Dona Delle Rose. Although less well known in the UK than the Aga Khan's famous Porto Cervo development, Porto Rotondo attracts its own "jet setters" and celebrity spotting is still a popular pastime. Situated in the heart of town is the small Piazzetta San Marco, from which narrow cobbled streets, lined with shops, radiate outwards. Shopping, however, is not the town's main attraction, but rather the ancient round harbour, from which the town gets its name and which is now a bustling modern marina.
BAIA SARDINIA
Situated at the northern tip of the Costa Smeralda, facing the Maddalena archipelago, Baia Sardinia has more than its fair share of glamour and style. This lively resort, only 10 minutes drive from Porto Cervo, boasts prestigious villas, hotels, restaurants, bars, discotheques and boutiques. The combination of white sandy beaches, clear, turquoise waters and a wild, rugged interior, make this the perfect location for a memorable holiday.
