Porto Cervo
Beste tijd om te bezoeken
Late afternoon (4-7 PM) when the light turns golden over the marina and the aperitivo crowd arrives. Visit in May or September to dodge peak July-August crowds while keeping perfect swimming weather.
Budgettips
Wandering the marina and piazzas is free, but drinks at seaside cafes cost €12-18 each. Pack a picnic from a local supermarket and find a rocky cove along the coastal road instead of paying €40 for lunch with a view.
Aanbevolen voor
Luxury travelers, Yacht-spotters and boat enthusiasts, Architecture fans who love mid-century Mediterranean design, Couples seeking a glamorous sunset aperitivo

Over
Korte feiten: Jachten met een totale waarde van meer dan €3 miljard meren elke zomer aan in de jachthaven, waardoor dit een van de duurste aanlegplaatsen van Europa is. De hele stad werd ontworpen door één architect, Luigi Vietti, die erop stond dat alle gebouwen lokaal graniet en ronde vormen moesten gebruiken om de omringende heuvels na te bootsen.
Hoogtepunten: Onder al die glamour volgt elk gebouw strikte bestemmingsplannen uit de jaren zestig die neonreclame verbieden en de hoogte van gebouwen beperken tot boomniveau, waardoor de kustlijn vanaf zee bijna ongerept lijkt. Het resultaat is een eigenaardige luchtspiegeling: een luxe resort dat zich opzettelijk verbergt en het rotsachtige landschap de show laat stelen.
Insidertips
- Skip the overpriced designer boutiques and walk uphill to the original 1960s buildings, where Vietti's signature rounded corners and local stone details are best seen.
- The free public beach just south of the marina (Spiaggia del Principe) offers the same turquoise water as the private resort beaches.
- Arrive by 9 AM if visiting in August; the narrow coastal road gets gridlocked with Ferraris and rental cars by 10 AM.
- Bring polarized sunglasses for the ultimate experience: they cut the glare off the water and let you actually see the marine life in the crystal-clear harbor.
