Romazzino, a Belmond Hotel, Costa Smeralda
History & Story
When the Aga Khan sailed along the north of the island of Sardinia, he was captivated by the exceptional beauty of its lush landscape and pristine emerald waters. He wanted to share this experience with his friends and international peers, and undertook the development of Costa Smeralda with generosity and authenticity. Romazzino played a defining role in shaping Costa Smeralda’s culture. Upon its opening in 1965, it quickly became popular among Costa Smeralda’s stylish clientele. Italian and international socialites came to stay, enjoying the hotel’s elegant restaurants, rooms and leisurely beachfront, and meeting friends who would moor their yachts off Romazzino or nearby Porto Cervo.

Fun Facts
Romazzino is an exceptional example of Michele Busiri Vici’s iconic Mediterranean architecture. Working with Jacques Couelle and Luigi Vietti, Michele Busiri Vici designed Romazzino’s signature white low-lying buildings using local juniper and sparkling granite. Each ripple and curve imitates those of the cascading landscape while artfully framing views of the emerald waters beyond. The property’s soft white lines, rustic plasterwork and terracotta tiles recall the simplicity of local fishermen’s historic cave-like dwellings, while seamlessly blending into the natural surroundings. With its terraced arches, natural colours and organic curves, Romazzino is widely acknowledged to be one of Busiri Vici’s career- defining masterpieces.
