Costa Smeralda, the 'gold coast' of Sardinia, is the most famous coast in the north-eastern part of the island. The coastline of circa 55km has been transformed in 25 years from pasture (5000 hectare) to one of the most renowned holiday resorts in the world by prince Aga Khan Karim. One large pleasure-paradise designed for Karim himself and the tourists.
The fairy-like towns with their magic palaces, exclusive shops, chic restaurants, beautiful harbours with the most prestigious yachts, and mundane nightclubs make it the “walhalla” for the rich and famous of the world.
Porto Cervo is the “capital” of the Costa Smeralda. Porto Cervo was designed by the famous architect Luigi Vietti and is considered to be a masterpiece in urban design. With exclusive shops, bars and clubs, the atmosphere is considered chic. Porto Cervo has two ports (Porto Vecchio and Porto Marina). Here lie the most exclusive international yachts of the world, where butlers serve the tea to their bosses…where there is a lot of partying going on…and where the people enjoy there pleasant times! A visit to this beautiful village is definitely worth it!
