Mandarin Oriental is developing a new resort in Sardinia, located in the heart of Costa Smeralda. Developed in partnership with Gruppo Statuto and set to open its doors in mid-2026, the property will mark the group’s fourth venture in Italy. 

Perched on a hillside overlooking the Gulf of Pevero, Mandarin Oriental, Porto Cervo will offer a perfect blend of accessibility and seclusion. Surrounded by forest, the hotel is a secluded environment in which guests can unwind, accompanied by a private beach accessible via a picturesque 350-metre trail.

The hotel will comprise 83 rooms and suites, alongside five distinctive restaurants and bars, while the Spa at Mandarin Oriental will provide an array of wellness experiences to guests. A fitness centre, indoor and outdoor pools amidst lush gardens will provide additional space in which to relax. The hotel will also offer an exclusive Beach Club, situated on the Porto Paglia beach.   

“We are excited to introduce Mandarin Oriental, Porto Cervo to our guests, and to expanding our portfolio of leisure destinations in this region,” says Francesco Cefalú, Chief Development Officer of Mandarin Oriental. “Costa Smeralda’s unique allure, combined with the expertise of Gruppo Statuto, promises to create an extraordinary retreat. We look forward to delivering Mandarin Oriental’s legendary service and refined luxury to this captivating corner of Italy.” 

Giuseppe Statuto, owner of Gruppo Statuto, adds: “We are pleased to be working with Mandarin Oriental once again and look forward to creating an exceptional resort, delivering a new high-end hospitality offering in this very special corner of Sardinia, one of Italy’s top island destinations.”
