Hotel Cala di Volpe: Icon of the Costa Smeralda
Few hotels embody the myth of the Costa Smeralda as much as the Cala di Volpe in Porto Cervo – a fixture of international luxury tourism in Sardinia for over 60 years.
Architecture with history
The hotel was built in the early 1960s as part of the founding of the Costa Smeralda by Prince Karim Aga Khan IV. French architect Jacques Couëlle deliberately designed the building to look like an organically grown fishing village: irregular shapes, warm ochre tones, and handcrafted details instead of symmetrical hotel architecture.
Location
The property sits right on a sheltered bay near Porto Cervo, with its own beach and views of the offshore islands along the Gallura coast. The region is known for its especially clear, deep-blue water.
Who it suits
The Cala di Volpe is aimed at travelers seeking an extraordinary architectural experience and upscale service – accordingly, it belongs to the island's absolute luxury segment.
