All the charm of the Romazzino, a Belmond Hotel, Costa Smeralda

A blend of signature architecture and retro-chic interiors

At the Romazzino, a Belmond Hotel, Costa Smeralda, everything seems to belong to the landscape. White walls reflect the light, the arches frame the emerald sea, and the scents of Mediterranean scrub waft into the rooms. More than a hotel, it’s a way of experiencing summer. An icon that since the 1960s has continued to embody a profoundly Mediterranean concept of hospitality, where a vacation is still synonymous with discreet elegance and freedom.

It was the Aga Khan IV who described this stretch of coast as a succession of white beaches, mountains plunging into the sea, and intensely coloured Mediterranean scrub. An image that is still formed today by the crystal-clear waters, wind-sculpted rocks, and the fragrant silence of the pine and olive trees surrounding the hotel.

Designed by Michele Busiri Vici, the Romazzino is one of the most successful examples of the organic architecture that has made this part of Sardinia iconic. Soft volumes, sinuous walls, and terraces seemingly shaped by light interact with the landscape without ever overwhelming it. The resort feels almost like a small Mediterranean village overlooking the sea, where every space invites you to slow down and enjoy summer in a natural way.

The same balance is found in the interiors. Rooms and suites reinterpret the spirit of the 1960s with a retro-chic style featuring natural materials, bright colours, large windows, and private terraces that bring the scenery inside. Rooms are spacious, welcoming, and customizable, designed for both couples and families who want to experience their vacation as if it were a home away from home overlooking the sea.

Completing the experience are six private villas, authentic retreats surrounded by nature, named after northern Sardinia’s most beautiful beaches and islands. Streamlined architecture and absolute privacy make them the most exclusive expression of Romazzino’s hospitality.

The cuisine also embodies this philosophy. The resort’s restaurants offer a contemporary interpretation of Mediterranean flavours, with great attention to raw ingredients and local seafood, alternating an informal beachside ambience with more sophisticated fine dining.

Here, the day flows to the rhythm of the sea: a stroll on the beach, a boat trip to the archipelago, a wellness treatment inspired by natural elements, or simply an afternoon spent in the shade, with the sound of the waves in the background.

Because the true privilege is to recreate the pleasure of a Mediterranean vacation and make guests forget about the clock.
