Our New Opening: Rocco Forte Hotels Travels to Sardinia

We’re delighted to share the announcement of an exciting new resort by Rocco Forte Hotels. In 2026, our latest property will welcome guests to the north-east shores of Sardinia, the charming island nestled off Italy’s west coast.

Set against azure blue waters and soft white sand, our beachside resort can be found by the bay of Liscia di Vacca in Porto Cervo, a beautiful town on Costa Smeralda, Italy’s most famous coastline.

 

Discover our grand designs

Under the creative vision of Spanish architect, Patricia Urquiola, the interiors of all 64 rooms and suites will be completely redesigned. Natural materials and local craftsmanship lie at the centre of her design philosophy. 

Sardinian architect Efisio Onali also brings his vision to the project, blending Mediterranean architecture with the natural landscape.

 

Sympathetic to the Sardinian landscape

Shaded by a rocky hillside and a short stroll from one of the best beaches on the island, the resort occupies an enviable location. Its extensive grounds are dotted with palm trees and terracotta paths that lead you to an inviting outdoor swimming pool.

Centred around the pool, palm-filled gardens have been designed by Patrizia Pozzi, who recently revived the gardens at Villa Tasca Park in Palermo. Soon you’ll be able to walk on terracotta paths through the landscaped gardens to a private beach.

 

The spa, bar and restaurants

Added extras will include a state-of-the-art spa, three restaurants and panoramic views over the Tyrrhenian Sea, visible from our rooftop bar, while further facilities include meeting and event spaces.

Our new Sardinia resort complements our existing Italian properties in Rome, Florence, Sicily and Puglia.

Exploring the Baroque Splendour of Southern Italy

To understand Baroque, you have to understand its ambition. To fully appreciate it, you have to go to southern Italy. Emerging from the Counter-Reformation in early 17th-century Italy, the movement harnessed drama, ornamentation and light in service of devotion – art designed to engage the senses as much as the intellect.

London in Three Acts

Some travellers fall in love with a city all at once. Others come to know it gradually, season by season, until they understand not just where to go, but, perhaps more vitally, when. London, with its Royal parks and cobbled courtyards, layers of heritage and history, rewards the latter handsomely.
