Opened 1965 on private Romazzino Beach as the second Aga Khan Costa Smeralda property. Ninety rooms with direct beachfront access — the honeymoon answer of the Luxury Collection trio.
"Aga Khan beachfront property opened 1965. 90 rooms on private Romazzino Beach. The honeymoon answer of the Costa Smeralda Luxury Collection."
Hotel Romazzino opened in 1965 — two years after Hotel Cala di Volpe — as the second luxury hotel of Prince Aga Khan IV's Costa Smeralda development, on a private 250-metre beachfront in Romazzino Bay. While Cala di Volpe is the architectural showpiece (with its Couelle clock tower and Olympic salt-water pool), Romazzino is the beachfront answer — the Costa Smeralda property where guests have direct white-sand beach access from many of the rooms, and where the Mediterranean is a central part of the daily experience rather than a view.
The 90 rooms split between Garden View Rooms, Sea View Rooms (with direct Romazzino Beach views), Junior Suites with private terraces, and the multi-bedroom Suites including the Romazzino Suite — the property's flagship, with substantial private beachfront-facing terrace. The interiors retain the consistent Costa Smeralda architectural language with traditional Sardinian furniture and contemporary luxury bathrooms.
The grounds — the private beachfront, the heated outdoor pool, the gardens, and the spa — are integrated with Romazzino Bay's natural environment. The Romazzino beach is one of the most beautiful on the Costa Smeralda — white sand, turquoise water, and the natural granite formations that define the Sardinian coast — and is private to the hotel. The proximity to Hotel Cala di Volpe (a 5-minute drive) means guests have access to the Olympic salt-water pool and Beefbar through the cross-property programme.
Dining is at three restaurants. Sa Cardiga e Su Pisci is the headline Sardinian seafood. Le Spezie is the modern Italian. The Beach Restaurant is the casual lunch venue with direct beach service. The wine programme is Sardinian-and-Italian-focused. Service is the consistent Luxury Collection standard delivered by a heavily Sardinian team. Romazzino is the beachfront-focused answer of the Aga Khan trio and the right choice for travellers who want the Costa Smeralda heritage with the beach as the daily anchor.
The Costa Smeralda honeymoon for couples who want the beach as the daily focus. Book a Sea View Junior Suite with terrace overlooking Romazzino Beach. The combination of the private beach access, the Aga Khan heritage, and the cross-property access to Cala di Volpe's facilities makes Romazzino the beachfront-honeymoon Costa Smeralda answer.
For anniversaries the Romazzino Suite or two adjacent Sea View Junior Suites work well. The beachfront vow renewal, private chef dinners on the suite's terrace, and the Costa Smeralda heritage produce a polished anniversary stay.
Romazzino's beachfront focus, the calm-water Romazzino Bay (safer for children than rougher coastal sections), the multi-bedroom suites, and the kids' programme work for families. The cross-property programme with Cala di Volpe gives access to the Olympic pool. The polished family Costa Smeralda choice.
