The Best Hotels for a Wedding in Sardinia
From the Costa Smeralda and its legendary elegance to the royal villas nestled on unspoiled peninsulas, Sardinia offers a thousand different settings for couples seeking an exceptional wedding on the shores of the Mediterranean. Our selection of five venues where scenery, hospitality, and the art of living come together to create an unforgettable setting to say “I do.”
1 - 7Pines Resort Sardinia | A wedding in Sardinia overlooking the sea
Where? In Baja Sardinia, on the Costa Smeralda, the 7Pines Resort Sardinia is nestled among Mediterranean gardens, coves, and views of the La Maddalena archipelago. About ten minutes from Porto Cervo and 35 kilometers from Olbia, the resort was designed with Sardinian weddings and spectacular arrivals in mind: a private helipad for guests, a dedicated pier, and a shuttle service for yachts up to 30 meters long.
Capacity? With its gardens and terraces overlooking the sea, the 7Pines Resort Sardinia can accommodate both large weddings and intimate celebrations. The Mediterranean Garden can accommodate up to 300 guests, while the Capogiro Rooftop hosts up to 200 guests at sunset. For more intimate receptions, the resort team also organizes events for up to 80 people. In total, there are 342 m² of space dedicated to hosting weddings and receptions.
The style? Designed by Sandro Sergi and Luca Androni of the Piazza Martiri 7 studio, the decor draws freely from Sardinian motifs: woven patterns, juniper lamps, handcrafted ceramics, granite, and white Orosei marble come together to create warm interiors, complemented by textiles from Samugheo. Outside, rust-colored armchairs and hemp-colored rope lounge chairs by Varaschin blend seamlessly into the landscape. The view stretches out over 15 hectares of Mediterranean gardens, paths leading down to the coves, and—hidden in the maquis—a pond lined with lemon trees.
What makes Sardinia the perfect destination for a wedding? From the first toast in the gardens to the cocktail reception by the illuminated pool, the resort supports every stage of your Italian wedding with a dedicated team. Before the big day, the Pure Seven Spa, designed around an indoor garden, offers the bride and groom a welcome respite of serenity. The 75 rooms and suites can accommodate a large portion of the guests on-site, ranging from Beach Suites with direct access to suites featuring a private jacuzzi. For the wedding reception, the Michelin-starred Capogiro restaurant, led by Pasquale D’Ambrosio, stands out as a top choice. The food-and-wine pairings notably highlight wines from the neighboring Surrau estate. Or you might prefer the Cone Club, located right on the water with its own pier, where the culinary offerings were conceived by two-Michelin-starred chef Tohru Nakamura and the cocktail menu by Philip Bischoff. For brunch, head to Spazio by the pool for pizzas by Franco Pepe, a three-time winner of the Best Pizza Awards. During the festivities, the Kio House of Kids welcomes the little ones with activities focused on the environment, allowing adults to fully enjoy the wedding celebration.

2 - Hotel Cala di Volpe | The legendary destination on the Costa Smeralda for a wedding in Sardinia
Where? Overlooking the turquoise waters of Cala di Volpe Bay—one of the Costa Smeralda’s most iconic landscapes—this beachfront hotel enjoys a prime location with views of Porto Cervo. Located 5 kilometers from the village and 30 kilometers from Olbia, it offers a private limousine service for transfers.
Capacity? From intimate weddings to large receptions, the hotel can accommodate events of all sizes. When booked exclusively, this luxury hotel in Sardinia can host up to 250 guests. The main gourmet restaurant, Le Grand, seats 180 guests for a banquet, while the Cala di Volpe Barbecue, located by the pool, can accommodate up to 280 people for a seated dinner. The Beefbar, meanwhile, offers a more intimate setting for about 40 guests.
The style? As the first hotel built on the Costa Smeralda for the Aga Khan in 1962, the Cala di Volpe bears the signature of Jacques Couëlle, a visionary architect whom Jacques Prévert nicknamed “the Anarchitect.” Arcades, turrets, and terraces evoke a Sardinian fishing village sculpted in sienna tones—a setting that became famous after the filming of *The Spy Who Loved Me* in 1977. Between 2018 and 2022, Bruno Moinard and Claire Bétaille—best known for their renovation of the five-star Plaza Athénée hotel near the Champs-Élysées—restored the property by reinterpreting its original materials: local granite, juniper wood, and custom-designed furniture.
What makes Sardinia a great destination for a wedding? The 121 rooms and suites accommodate the bride and groom and their guests, ranging from the Classic Room in the hotel’s historic wing to the Presidential Suite—a spacious 450 m² apartment with a private pool, sun deck, and three bedrooms that can accommodate up to nine people. The spectacular Harrods Suite rounds out the offerings for loved ones. The dining experience is centered around five venues. Le Grand, led by Maurizio Locatelli, sits alongside Chef Nobu’s Matsuhisa, Riccardo Giraudi’s Beefbar, the poolside Barbecue, and African Queen, a new cosmopolitan restaurant on the beach. Under the arcades of the Atrium, the hotel’s legendary bartender, Andrea Di Mauro, serves what is undoubtedly one of the best Bellinis in the world. Before the ceremony, the Shiseido Spa welcomes the bride and groom with two treatment rooms and separate steam rooms. A major highlight: an Olympic-sized saltwater pool, one of the largest in Europe.

3 - Forte Village Resort | The largest wedding venue in Sardinia
Where? Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea in Santa Margherita di Pula, this ocean-view hotel is just a few minutes from Nora—one of the most valuable remnants of Sardinia’s Phoenician and Roman past—and 45 minutes from the Cagliari airport.
Capacity? The resort offers several settings for a dream wedding in Sardinia. At the heart of the resort, the Bianca Hall accommodates up to 450 guests for large-scale ceremonies and receptions. The Verde Hall accommodates up to 200 guests for gala dinners. Nestled in a pine forest and featuring a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean, the Baldacchino Hall offers a more intimate atmosphere.
The style? The resort features 50 hectares of tropical gardens right on the beach. Founded by hotelier Lord Charles Forte and opened in 1974, it is now certified by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) and has been recognized by the World Travel Awards for its commitment to sustainable tourism. Its permaculture vegetable garden supplies the kitchens, while an aviary, an educational farm, and a nearby nature park further enhance this close connection with nature.
What makes it ideal for a wedding in Sardinia? Few resorts in the Mediterranean offer such a large capacity. With 13 villas, 42 suites, 100 Deluxe rooms, 409 bungalows, and 715 guest rooms, Forte Village can accommodate weddings of all sizes. A team of Italian and international wedding planners guides the bride and groom through every detail, from selecting the wedding dress with renowned designers to having their hair styled by fashion professionals. For close family members, Villa Aurora offers an exclusive retreat with its 365 m², four bedrooms, private pool, and English butler. The cuisine is on par with the occasion. Chef Massimiliano Mascia, a two-Michelin-starred chef, works alongside Carlo Cracco, whose terrace restaurant bears his name, and Heinz Beck, whose Beachcomber restaurant continues the tradition of three-star excellence. Before the ceremony, the Acquaforte Thalasso & Spa welcomes the bride and groom to a private tropical garden. Its treatment method, developed twenty-five years ago by Dr. Angelo Cerina, remains one of the estate’s hallmarks.

4 - Villa Las Tronas Hotel & Spa | A Sardinian wedding in a former royal residence
Where? Nestled between the waters of the Gulf of Alghero and the coves of Cala Lavatoio and Cala Capone, Villa Las Tronas sits on a private rocky promontory just a few minutes from the historic center. The property is accessible both from the Alghero-Fertilia Airport, located 10 kilometers away, and by helicopter via its own helipad.
Capacity? Villa Las Tronas is ideally suited for intimate weddings. The restaurant can accommodate up to 50 guests, while the Top Meeting lounge hosts ceremonies for 30 people. On sunny days, receptions are held at lunchtime to take advantage of the Sardinian sunlight and the view of the Gulf of Alghero. In winter, the historic ballrooms take over. The entire estate can also be reserved exclusively for a fully customized celebration, for an additional fee.
The style? Built around 1880 by Alessandro, the third Count of Sant’Elia, as a hunting lodge overlooking the Gulf of Alghero, the villa took on the appearance of a medieval castle in the 1920s before being converted into a hotel in 1961. Its name, Las Tronas—“the pulpits” in the Alghero dialect—refers to the sea-carved rocks that surround it. Long before it opened to the public, the Romanov princesses and the Italian royal family were already staying there.Notably, two historic salons from that era remain, now combined under the name Salle Rose.
What makes Sardinia the perfect destination for a wedding? The 24 rooms and suites, furnished with original antiques, range from the Single Room (13 m²) to the Superior Suite with a 50 m² terrace and a jacuzzi for four people. The restaurant, overlooking the Gulf of Alghero, serves Mediterranean cuisine accompanied by live classical music. Before the ceremony, the bride and groom can enjoy the heated indoor seawater pool, the hammam, and the sauna, or take a dip directly in the sea from the villa’s private piers. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and Samuel Beckett once chose this headland for its absolute privacy—a secret the hotel continues to preserve thanks to its private helipad and bespoke concierge service.

5 - Petra Segreta Resort & Spa | A Wedding in Sardinia in the Hills of Gallura
Where? Nestled in the hills of San Pantaleo, an artists’ village in Gallura, the hotel overlooks the iconic granite landscapes of northeastern Sardinia. Porto Cervo, Porto Rotondo, and the beaches of the Costa Smeralda are less than ten minutes away, as is the Pevero Golf Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones.
Capacity? The resort is ideal for a variety of celebration formats, from a cocktail reception for 150 guests to a wedding dinner for 80 guests at Il Fuoco Sacro. For a more intimate ceremony, La Cabana—an Indonesian-style hut situated at the highest point of the property—accommodates up to 16 people with a view of the sunset over the gulf and the islands. For an even more exclusive experience, the entire estate can be reserved for private use for a minimum of two nights.
The style? Founded in 2001 by architect Rosella Marchese with just thirteen rooms, the estate now spans five hectares of maquis, juniper, and holm oak trees in Gallura. Inspired by the stazzi—traditional stone houses dotted throughout the Sardinian countryside—the architecture blends seamlessly into the landscape. Inside, handwoven fabrics, Eastern influences, works of art, and travel mementos come together to create a deeply personal ambiance. Rosella Marchese continues to leave her personal touch every day by personally arranging the bouquets of fresh flowers that adorn the guest rooms and common areas.
What makes Sardinia the perfect destination for a wedding? The resort features 27 rooms and suites—ten of which have private heated pools—ranging from the 20-square-meter Classic room to the new 100-square-meter Petra Signature Pool Suite, complete with a fireplace and ocean views. This personalized touch is also evident at the dining table. Luigi Bergeretto, who co-founded the resort with his wife Rosella, practiced medicine for twenty years before turning his attention to the restaurant business. His Italian restaurant, Il Fuoco Sacro—which has held a Michelin star since 2022—offers a menu conceived in collaboration with Enrico Bartolini and executed by Chef Alessandro Menditto. The Osteria del Mirto and the Terrazza del Mirto—which opens in the summer overlooking the La Maddalena archipelago—round out the dining experience, featuring produce from the estate’s organic garden and farm. As for the Secret Stone Spa, nestled between two granite boulders believed by local tradition to possess energetic properties, it welcomes soon-to-be-weds in a Balinese-inspired hut. The treatments feature Sardinian ingredients such as olive oil, myrtle, juniper, and rosemary.
