The Costa Smeralda is a marvellous stretch of coastline located in the north-eastern part of Sardinia. It occupies just over twenty kilometres and includes the areas of Romazzino, Capriccioli, Cala di Volpe, Pevero, Porto cervo, Liscia di Vacca, Cala Granu, Capo Ferro and Cala del Faro. The coastline is characterised by typical Mediterranean vegetation, the presence of numerous inlets, small and large beaches, multiple islands including the La Maddalena archipelago, others such as the islands of Nibani, Mortorio, Camere and Soffi. The area was predominantly uninhabited until the establishment of the Costa Smeralda Consortium in 1962 by Prince Karim Aga Khan. It soon became a favourite haunt of the international jet set, a safe and always fashionable meeting place, with clubs such as the Billionaire, Sottovento, Phi Beach, Just Cavalli and filmed in several movies in the 1990s. The heart of the Costa Smeralda is Porto Cervo, where one can find the most beautiful boutiques with the most famous Italian and international brands, various services, cocktail bars, numerous restaurants such as Novikov, Zuma, Pedrì garden, Finger, Crazy Pizza to name but a few, the Cervo Tennis Club for those who love sport, as well as trails in the middle of unspoilt nature, the Marina Nuova with the Yachting Club and the Porto Vecchio that hosts the world’s most prestigious and largest yachts, the Waterfront, formerly Harrods, not to forget what is the place of worship for the Emerald inhabitants, the Stella Maris church, unique in its kind, skilfully designed by architect Busiri Vici. Also located within the geographic area in question, the commercial and residential area of Abbiadori has developed, with its services, supermarkets, gourmet, pharmacy, bars, as well as numerous activities open all year round. The Costa Smeralda is 25 km from the city of Olbia, the main connection hub with the continent due to the presence of a tourist port, first in Italy for passenger transit, and the presence of an airport with national and international destinations, easily reachable in 25 minutes by car. Those who want the best for their summer holidays, living in unbridled luxury or seeking tranquillity in a safe place, unique in the world, cannot but become part of this splendid territory.
