“Porto Rotondo didn't grow out of a fishing village: it was designed in the 1960s as a perfect village by the sea. Piazzetta San Marco, yachts, boutiques — yet a few minutes away are beaches anyone can enjoy. Luxury that doesn't send you the bill just for looking.”

Porto Rotondo is one of the most elegant resorts on the Costa Smeralda, on the headland that closes off the Gulf of Olbia to the north, in Gallura. Unlike the historic villages, it has no ancient origins: it was designed from scratch in the 1960s by the Venetian counts Donà dalle Rose as a harmonious seaside village of stone and bougainvillea. The result is an elegant yet liveable village, with one of the most renowned marinas in the Mediterranean.
It's the place for anyone who wants the allure of the Costa Smeralda — yachts, boutiques, restaurants, glamour — but with a cosier, more human-scale atmosphere than Porto Cervo. And with one real advantage: staying in a holiday home nearby, you enjoy this world without five-star hotel prices.
The village beaches: pale sand and a gently shelving seabed, convenient and with facilities. Views over the gulf, ideal for families and for a swim between outings.
Between Porto Rotondo and the lagoon: clear water and junipers. Quieter, and loved by those who want nature without giving up comfort.
Small and sheltered, with crystal-clear water. A secluded spot a stone's throw from the centre.
Towards Punta Nera, white sand and turquoise water, among the most beautiful in the area. The authentic, lesser-known “emerald”.
The heart of Porto Rotondo is Piazzetta San Marco, an amphitheatre of granite steps overlooking the harbour, buzzing in the evening with aperitivos, bars and people strolling. Don't miss the Church of San Lorenzo, with its famous olive-wood sculptures by the artist Mario Ceroli, and the open-air theatre. The village is easy to explore on foot: boutiques, galleries, gelato shops, and the harbour with its yachts to admire.
