Colonna Resort

A glamorous Sardinia stay at a five-star seaside resort with a spa and multiple swimming pools - with buffet breakfast, a bottle of prosecco, spa perks and more included

As the second-largest island in the Mediterranean, Sardinia has always been a huge draw for global jetsetters and Hollywood celebs. And nowhere seduces more than Porto Cervo - the Costa Smeralda’s superstar that was established by the Aga Khan in the 1960s. So it’s easy to see why this five-star hotel is such a crowd-pleaser - especially for stylish guests who want to soak up the sun, take daytime excursions on the island, and appreciate the jaw-dropping views.

Should you fancy staying put, however, diversions are plentiful. The hotel has multiple swimming pools, a private white sandy beach, Sardinian-style guest rooms, a full-service spa, and 15 acres of Insta-worthy parkland and gardens. Equally standout are the restaurants and bars, including the low-key Pagoda Restaurant for delicious (and super-healthy) buffet-style lunches and the upscale Colonna Restaurant for romantic à la carte candlelit dinners paired with fancy wines.
