“There is a multitude of fine sandy beaches and no one to walk on them. Green and grey mountains tumble into the sea, a carpet of purple and yellow, red and blue flowers perfume the air.” Attributed to the hotel’s founder The Aga Khan IV in 1964, these words have captured the charismatic soul of the Costa Smeralda for decades – and today, we salute them.

Encapsulating the Costa Smeralda’s glamorous charm is Romazzino, A Belmond Hotel, and Sardinia’s original beach retreat. An icon of sixties retro-allure, it was conceived by the Aga Khan IV and designed by famed architect Michele Busiri Vici, who created a sanctuary of white, organically curved buildings that blend seamlessly into the landscape while framing views of the turquoise waters beyond.

Upon opening in 1965, Romazzino quickly became coveted among Sardinia’s stylish clientele. Italian and international socialites frequented the hotel, meeting up with friends who moored their yachts off Romazzino or in nearby Porto Cervo. Throughout the 1960s and ‘70s, a stream of colourful guests stepped off their yachts into Romazzino’s fashionable scene.

Today, under Belmond, this haven is as welcoming to families as to the international jet set. Uniquely located on its own private white-sand beach and surrounded by fragrant macchia (Sardinian Mediterranean scrub), its wide-ranging onsite facilities and personalised activities make it the perfect base for a long and lavish Italian villeggiatura.

Generous accommodation includes two signature suites with panoramic sea-view terraces, five 3-bedroom villas and one five-bedroom villa, the supreme choice for families. Exquisite chef-led cuisine takes diners on epicurean journeys through modern Sardinia. Two restaurants and three bars offer exceptional choice and include fine-dining Restaurant La Terrasse and beguiling beach grill Éntu e Mari. As well as a spa, tennis court, padel court, gym and two pools, there is a kids’ club for 3-12 year olds. A wide array of curated experiences make the most of Sardinia’s stunning natural beauty, from sailing and watersport adventures to spectacular hikes, canyoning, Vermentino wine tours and visits to archaeological sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Belmond Bellini Club always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100-220 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
