Hotel Cala Di Volpe

Located on the glamorous Costa Smeralda, Hotel Cala di Volpe faces the emerald waters of the Mediterranean. Designed as an old fishing village, the resort’s creative canopy of archways, porticoes, and turrets enjoys a staggeringly beautiful setting.

Revel in an extensive selection of outdoor activities, from water sports in the crystal clear bay to swimming in the magnificent outdoor pool. The private white sand beach and the legendary 18-hole Pevero Golf Club are both just moments away.

Each of the 124 guest rooms—including 97 sea view rooms and 17 suites—creates a tableau of rustic elegance with its superb hand crafted Sardinian furnishings, customised artwork, and kaleidoscope of pastel accents so distinct to the region.

Sensitive to the breathtaking landscape of granite coastline and lush eucalyptus, juniper, and myrtle, the Aga Kahn developed the area into a resort paradise that embraced the natural wonder of its setting while offering the most luxurious accommodations, activities, and amenities conceivable. To that end, he formed the Architectural Committee of the Costa Smeralda, which chose renowned architect Jacques Couelle to build the Hotel Cala di Volpe.

Honorary member of the prestigious Académie des Beaux-Arts of the Institut de France, Jacques Couelle’s artistic genius is undisputed. His design of the Hotel Cala di Volpe, completed in 1963, stands as an artistic masterpiece that irrevocably shaped the coastline into one of the most glamorous resort destinations for celebrities, royalty, and the international social elite.

Jacques Couelle’s son Sauvin followed in his father’s extraordinary footsteps, continuing the unmistakable family legacy. Known for his fascinating designs all along the Costa Smeralda, Sauvin’s villas have become collector's items. In 2001 and 2008, Sauvin oversaw the renovations at the Hotel Cala di Volpe, employing only Sardinian master craftsmen to bring his complex technical ideas to life, while retaining the original spirit and beauty of his father’s artistry.

With legendary buffets and scrumptious a la carte menus, the award-winning restaurants at Hotel Cala Di Volpe take simple Mediterranean and Sardinian cuisine to new gourmet heights. Under the auspices of executive Chef Franco Guardone, both the Cala Restaurant and the Barbecue Restaurant offer a superb selection of local and international delicacies, while La Piazzetta Bar imbues its menu of light meals with a local Italian flair. Framed by the natural beauty of the Costa Smeralda and the evocative architecture of Jacques Couelle, every dining option at the Hotel Cala di Volpe is as mesmerizing as it is delicious.
