Petra Segreta Resort & Spa: Stone Houses Near San Pantaleo

Instead of the coast, this boutique resort sits in the grassy granite hills around San Pantaleo โ€“ known for the region's striking, rounded weathered boulders.

Concept

About 27 rooms are spread across several converted traditional stone houses, with rustic elements like natural stone walls and wooden beams combined with a modern interior. The spa makes use of the landscape's natural granite grottoes โ€“ an architectural concept unusual for the region.

Location

San Pantaleo itself is a small mountain village inland from the Costa Smeralda, known for its craft shops and Sunday market, about 15 to 20 minutes' drive from Porto Cervo.

Good to know: anyone wanting to visit the Costa Smeralda without staying right on the crowded coastal strip will find a quieter alternative in the hills around San Pantaleo, with a short drive to the sea.
The rounded granite boulders of the Gallura shape the landscape around San Pantaleo like few other regions of the island.

Who it suits

Suits anyone who prefers quiet, wellness, and nature to a coastal location, without giving up proximity to the Costa Smeralda entirely.
