Romazzino, A Belmond Hotel

Romazzino’s beach is a Costa Smeralda standout. You walk straight from the gardens, past fragrant juniper shrubs, onto fine white sand. The water's a clear turquoise, perfect for a calm swim. No rough surf here.

Expect to pay around €1,000 nightly for a Classic Sea View room. For something more, premium suites with direct beach access run €3,000 to €6,000+ in July and August, when the Costa Smeralda truly comes alive.

Romazzino's main restaurant specializes in elevated Sardinian dishes, featuring just-caught seafood and produce from nearby farms. For a relaxed afternoon, the beachside spot crafts Mediterranean lunches – think grilled octopus with lemon. Later, the bar mixes cocktails, best enjoyed as the sun dips below the horizon.

Yes, Romazzino is indeed a Belmond Hotel, which means you'll find that signature Belmond service: warm, personal, and undeniably Italian. They run other incredible places too, like the Hotel Cipriani in Venice, Splendido Mare in Portofino, and Caruso on the Amalfi Coast.

Absolutely. The concierge at Romazzino can set up private boat excursions. Discover Tavolara, Mortorio, or the La Maddalena Archipelago. They provide snorkeling gear, and full-day trips come with lunch served right on the boat.

Romazzino opens in late May, closes early October. Go in June or September for warm seas and fewer crowds. July and August are the social peak, when the Costa Smeralda truly comes alive.

Absolutely. The Belmond spa at Romazzino delivers Mediterranean-inspired treatments. Therapists use local botanicals — think myrtle and helichrysum oils — in calm rooms overlooking the gardens. You can also request a private yoga session on the terrace.
