Overview

 
Set on a sweeping curve of emerald coastline, Colonna Resort is classic Costa Smeralda – all terracotta rooftops, manicured lawns and granite outcrops tumbling down towards the sea. This low‑rise 5-star hideaway spreads across lush gardens with seven cascading saltwater pools, a private beach and postcard‑worthy views of the Sardinian coastline. Inside, bright, traditional rooms with tiled floors and wood accents open onto furnished terraces that frame either the gardens or shimmering sea. Quiet, elegant and deeply relaxing, it suits couples chasing grown-up Mediterranean glamour as much as friends or families wanting space, pools and effortless beach days.

From above, Colonna Resort looks like a lagoon: seven turquoise pools linked by waterfalls and rock formations, surrounded by lawns and palms that roll down to a sandy cove and the hotel’s own strip of private beach. Panoramic terraces set the scene for slow breakfasts and sunset drinks, while the spa, indoor pool and classic Sardinian styling keep things cosy if the mistral wind picks up. This is a resort made for long, languid days between pool, spa and sea. For couples seeking Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda charm without being right in the yacht-buzz of the marina, Colonna Resort delivers the perfect balance. It’s around 2 hours from Olbia airport.

Map & location


Porto Cervo, Sardinia, Italy

Colonna Resort sits just outside Porto Cervo on Sardinia’s legendary Costa Smeralda, a stretch of coastline famed for emerald bays, creamy-sand coves and low-slung luxury. The hotel is tucked between granite rocks and the sea with direct access to its own private beach, and Cala Granu’s natural sandy cove just a short walk away.

You’re a quick complimentary shuttle ride from Porto Cervo resort centre, with its yacht-filled marina, designer boutiques and upscale restaurants. Yet back at the hotel, the mood is blissfully relaxed – think landscaped gardens, sea views and the sound of water from the pools rather than late-night noise.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 2 Hours

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Water is the star of the show here. The resort’s seven outdoor saltwater pools step down the hillside in a series of lagoons, some with whirlpool features and rock islands, all edged by sun terraces and lawns. You’ll find quieter corners for reading as well as wider areas for families, with plenty of loungers and parasols.

On cooler or breezier days, there’s also an indoor heated saltwater pool in the spa – ideal for relaxed laps out of the sun.

A short stroll through the gardens brings you to the hotel’s private beach, where you can switch the pool terraces for sand and sea in seconds. Cala Granu’s public beach is also within walking distance if you fancy a change of scenery.

Spa, sports & wellness


The spa is a sanctuary for wellness fans, with a heated indoor saltwater pool, sauna and Turkish bath, plus a menu of massages and beauty treatments (all with local charge). It typically opens 09:00–13:00 and 15:00–20:00, giving you time for both beach and spa in one day.

If you like to stay active, there’s a gym open roughly 07:00–23:00 and a driving range nearby for golfers (extra charge). Younger guests are looked after with a seasonal kids’ club for 4–12 year olds, offering arts and crafts, story time and small games from late morning into early evening.

Elsewhere, expect a concierge-style reception and luggage storage – everything designed so you can concentrate on sea, sun and plates of fresh Sardinian food.
