One of the Mediterranean’s most coveted destinations is about to welcome a striking new addition. W Hotel Sardinia will open this August, marking the brand’s debut on the enchanting Italian island. Set within the charming village of Poltu Quatu, this 154-room property promises to redefine luxury hospitality on Sardinia’s northeast coastline with its signature blend of bold design and innovative experiences.
Located between the glamorous Porto Cervo and the serene Baia Sardinia, W Hotel Sardinia occupies a prime position overlooking Marina dell’Orso. The property sits within Poltu Quatu, whose name translates to ‘hidden port’, a fitting description for this coveted gem nestled in a natural fjord. Surrounded by wind-sculpted granite rocks and crystal-clear waters, the white village offers an idyllic backdrop that perfectly complements the brand’s modern aesthetic.
A sophisticated take on Sardinian charm
The design philosophy behind W Hotel Sardinia draws inspiration from the island’s rich heritage while maintaining the brand’s contemporary edge. Pastel natural colours dominate the palette, complemented by handcrafted wood and stone elements that pay homage to local craftsmanship. This thoughtful approach creates spaces that feel both authentically Sardinian and unmistakably modern, offering guests a fresh perspective on Mediterranean luxury.
The 154 guest rooms and suites have been designed to maximise the stunning coastal views while providing the comfort and style expected from the W brand. Each accommodation reflects the sophisticated design ethos, incorporating local materials and contemporary furnishings to create spaces that feel both relaxing and energising.
Culinary excellence meets coastal dining
TANIT, the property’s signature seafood restaurant, takes centre stage in W Hotel Sardinia’s dining offering. Perched with panoramic views of the buzzy marina, the restaurant promises to showcase the best of Mediterranean cuisine with a contemporary twist. The name TANIT references the ancient Carthaginian goddess, adding a layer of historical significance to the dining experience while celebrating the island’s diverse cultural influences.
Beyond TANIT, guests can enjoy the signature W Lounge, a space designed for socialising and relaxation. The poolside WET Deck provides another venue for dining and drinking, offering a more casual atmosphere where guests can soak up the Mediterranean sun while enjoying refreshing cocktails and light bites.
Exclusive beach club and wellness offerings
One of the most distinctive features of W Hotel Sardinia is its exclusive beach club, accessible only by boat, adding an element of adventure to the guest experience. The boat-only access ensures an intimate and exclusive atmosphere, perfect for those seeking privacy and luxury.
Wellness enthusiasts will appreciate the AWAY Spa and FIT Fitness centre, both designed to help guests maintain their routines while enjoying their Mediterranean escape. The spa treatments are expected to incorporate local ingredients and techniques, creating a wellness experience that’s both rejuvenating and culturally authentic.
A strategic Mediterranean expansion
W Hotel Sardinia represents a significant addition to the brand’s European portfolio, bringing its distinctive energy to one of the Mediterranean’s most desirable destinations. The choice of Poltu Quatu as the location for W Hotel Sardinia’s debut demonstrates the brand’s commitment to finding unique destinations that offer both natural beauty and cultural significance.
With its August opening, W Hotel Sardinia is set to become a must-visit destination for travellers seeking a fresh take on Mediterranean luxury. The property’s combination of stunning location, bold design, and innovative experiences positions it perfectly to attract both local and international visitors looking for something beyond the ordinary.
