PORTO ROTONDO: LIFESTYLE AND ELEGANCE

Porto Rotondo, along with Porto Cervo, is the beating heart of the Costa Smeralda. Founded in 1964 by the Venetian brothers Luigi and Nicolò Donà dalle Rose, it was envisioned as a village in harmony with nature, inspired by Venetian architecture. The main square, Piazzetta San Marco, is a nod to its origins and serves as a lively meeting point for artists, designers, and international celebrities.

In the summer, Porto Rotondo comes alive with cultural events, sailing regattas, glamorous galas, and fine dining in its many Michelin-starred restaurants and elite beach clubs. The marina, with over 800 berths, is one of the most well-equipped in the Mediterranean and serves as the gateway to unforgettable sailing experiences to La Maddalena, Tavolara, and the hidden coves of Gallura.

During peak season, Porto Rotondo hosts up to 30,000 people, yet it retains an exclusive and relaxed atmosphere. Luxury boutiques, art galleries, wellness centers, and watersports facilities are all within reach. The village is also home to a small but vibrant year-round community of around 1,000 residents.
