Located near Porto San Paolo with spectacular views across to Tavolara island, this sophisticated beach club represents the first phase of an ambitious Italian expansion culminating in the comprehensive Fasano Sardenha resort opening in 2028.
The soft opening introduces discerning travellers to Fasano’s signature blend of refined luxury and natural integration along Sardinia’s coveted northeastern coastline. Having built an international reputation through properties in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, New York, and Punta del Este, Fasano now brings its distinctive Brazilian elegance to one of Europe’s most exclusive island destinations.
Exclusive beachfront sanctuary on Tavolara’s doorstep
Fasano Al Mare Sardinia occupies a carefully preserved stretch of coastline that exemplifies the untouched beauty for which northeastern Sardinia is celebrated. The beach club’s location provides uninterrupted views across crystalline waters to Tavolara island, a protected marine area renowned for its dramatic limestone cliffs and extraordinary biodiversity.
The venue’s design philosophy embraces Fasano’s signature “pé na areia” (feet in the sand) service concept, ensuring guests experience seamless integration between luxury amenities and natural surroundings. This approach, perfected across Fasano’s Brazilian properties, translates beautifully to the Mediterranean setting, where turquoise waters and white sand beaches create an equally stunning backdrop for refined hospitality.
What distinguishes Fasano Al Mare Sardinia from typical beach clubs is its commitment to preserving the coastal environment while delivering world-class amenities. The development maintains natural shoreline contours, with architectural elements designed to complement rather than dominate the landscape, aligning with Sardinia’s strict coastal protection regulations.

Drawing inspiration from the island’s exceptional seafood, artisanal cheeses, and indigenous herbs, the kitchen creates dishes that honour regional flavours while incorporating sophisticated presentation standards that define Fasano’s global dining experiences.
Signature offerings include locally caught sea bass prepared with Sardinian myrtle, handmade culurgiones pasta featuring traditional techniques, and an extensive selection of Cannonau wines from historic island vineyards. The menu changes seasonally to reflect local ingredient availability, ensuring each visit offers new discoveries while maintaining consistency in quality.
The restaurant’s design maximises spectacular coastal views, with an open-air dining terrace allowing guests to enjoy Mediterranean breezes alongside their meals.
