The reopening of the Hotel Cala di Volpe reaffirms its status as an iconic destination for luxury hospitality on the Costa Smeralda. Since it opened in the 1960s, the property has established itself as an emblematic landmark, capable of transcending eras while keeping its appeal unchanged.
Today, the Hotel Cala di Volpe reaffirms its role as a benchmark for international hospitality, distinguishing itself through a high-quality offering that combines local identity with a global vision, within an increasingly extended seasonal context.
As part of the reopening for the season, the property launches a new campaign, “Welcome Back. We Missed You” – designed to tell the story of its reopening through the eyes of its loyal colleagues, some of whom have worked at the hotel for over 30 years. Hotel Cala di Volpe pays tribute to those who have been part of its history and to those who continue, every day, to shape its future.
HOTEL CALA DI VOLPE. Designed in the 1960s by renowned architect and sculptor Jacques Couëlle, Hotel Cala di Volpe recently underwent a major renovation project led by French architects Bruno Moinard and Claire Bétaille of 4BI & Associés. The renovation successfully harmonized tradition and innovation, combining kaleidoscopic walls of glass, wood, and decorative plaster with refined details such as silky terracotta and fabrics that enhance the spaces.
The 121 rooms and suites were carefully renovated—some redesigned by the Italian firm Dordoni Architetti – enhancing the hotel’s original charm, blending extraordinary design with the highest level of comfort for an unparalleled experience.
Among the accommodation options, the Harrods Suite stands out as a true gem of the property. Designed by Harrods Interior Design Studio, it consists of three independent suites, each with a private bathroom and spacious living areas, as well as a wine cellar and a marble bar, all integrated with modern technology. On the upper floor, a private terrace with an infinity pool offers breathtaking views over the Bay of Cala di Volpe.
For food lovers, the hotel offers a culinary journey of excellence, such as the award-winning restaurant Le Grand, which provides a refined experience in a timeless setting.
The experience continues with aperitifs on the panoramic terrace of the Atrium Bar and with the Mediterranean flavors of the restaurant at the Pevero Golf Club, which was recently awarded “Best Wine List” at the third edition of the Champagne Perrier-Jouët Golf Restaurant Awards.
Wellness, on the other hand, finds its ultimate expression in the Shiseido Spa, a serene sanctuary where time seems to slow down and every detail is designed to foster relaxation. Here, rituals inspired by Japanese tradition blend with cutting-edge innovation, creating holistic treatments that guide guests toward a profound sense of balance and harmony. Surrounded by soothing design elements, it is a perfect retreat for harmonizing and rejuvenating mind and body.
There is also a wide range of sports and leisure activities: indoor and outdoor fitness areas, water sports, state-of-the-art tennis and padel courts, as well as the prestigious Mouratoglou Academy. The experience is completed by the renowned Pevero Golf Club, the only golf course in the destination, and designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones. The golf course offers an 18-hole layout set in a landscape of rare beauty: amidst unique rock formations, natural lakes, and the scents of the Mediterranean scrub, every round becomes an unforgettable experience. With its 6,107 meters, par 72, and the challenges of the Mistral wind, the course tests even the most experienced golfers, while offering excellent facilities and attentive, friendly service in an exclusive and refined setting.
