When the Aga Khan set his sights on developing the still-unspoilt coastline of Costa Smeralda, he created Cala di Volpe: a palatial, Sardinian-style village resort unlike any other, and a destination in its own right.

Imagine staying in not just a chic, designer hotel, but a chic, designer fishing village, and a destination in its own right: that’s how it feels to be part of Cala di Volpe. There’s a bright breeziness here, not only in the colours used throughout, but in the resort’s ample recreational facilities and the joie de vivre that comes with Mediterranean living. It's nestled in one of the most picturesque and glamorous spots, overlooking a yacht-filled Sardinian bay, and blends perfectly with the surrounding landscape.
