Splendor on Sardinia’s Emerald Coast
Our Inspector's Highlights
- The secluded beach, accessible exclusively to those staying at Hotel Cala di Volpe, features crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming or snorkeling. The sprawling saltwater pool — one of the largest in the Mediterranean — is equally serene.
- The Japanese-inspired Shiseido Spa provides a sanctuary from the Sardinia sun with soothing slate-gray surroundings and indulgent treatments inspired by Eastern traditions and enhanced with Mediterranean botanicals.
- Nestled on the hotel’s terrace, Matsuhisa at Cala di Volpe is the Sardinian outpost of Nobu Matsuhisa’s global empire that blends Japanese precision with Peruvian flavors. Savor signature dishes like miso black cod or tiradito (it’s similar to ceviche) enhanced with local ingredients, all while enjoying breathtaking views of the bay.
- With access to the renowned Pevero Golf Club, tennis courts and watersports like sailing and diving, every day invites adventure. The Sardinia hotel’s concierge can craft personalized itineraries to suit your energy and interests.
- Each of Hotel Cala di Volpe’s 121 rooms and suites boasts its own unique theme, brought to life by whimsical frescos on the whitewashed walls, pastel accents, vibrant ceramic tilework and handcrafted furniture. Terraces overlooking the gorgeous grounds or beautiful waterfront complete the enchanting scene.
The Restaurants
- The heart of the luxury hotel’s dining scene, Le Grand showcases Sardinian and Italian classics, from fresh seafood to handmade pastas. The open-air setting overlooking Costa Smeralda, paired with impeccable wine pairings, makes meals memorable.
- Set poolside with stunning views of the bay, the casual yet refined Cala di Volpe Barbeque offers a feast of grilled seafood, meats and seasonal vegetables. It’s just the setting for a laid-back lunch after a morning by the water.
- Monaco’s Beefbar comes to Italy with meaty comfort food (like Kobe carbonara) and street food (beef-stuffed bao).
- For aperitivi or late-night drinks, go to the open-air Atrium Bar to choose from a curated menu of cocktails, fine wines and premium spirits, including the lounge’s signature Bellini. Linger beneath twisting olive trees and gaze out through the archways to that frame the waters while a pianist provides a melodic backdrop.
