Tucked into the fjord-like inlet of Poltu Quatu – “hidden port” in the local dialect – W Sardinia – Poltu Quatu feels like a secret corner of the Costa Smeralda, yet sits moments from the region’s most coveted beaches and harbours. Whitewashed buildings cascade down towards a lively marina, framed by sculpted granite rocks and impossibly clear turquoise water, giving the resort an intimate, village-within-a-village atmosphere. From here, days fall easily into a rhythm of boat trips to the La Maddalena archipelago, lazy swims in sheltered coves and evenings wandering between waterfront bars and restaurants.
The property brings W’s contemporary, playful aesthetic to Sardinia, pairing clean Mediterranean lines with bold design touches and thoughtful lighting. With around 150 rooms and suites, it is large enough to offer a full complement of facilities, yet compact enough to feel personal and walkable. Rooms are bright and breezy, many opening onto balconies or terraces that draw the eye to the marina or the rugged hills beyond. Expect king-size beds, sleek bathrooms and intuitive technology, wrapped in a relaxed coastal palette accented by art and pattern. Suites add generous living areas and expansive outdoor space, ideal if travelling as a family or simply seeking more room to unwind.
At the heart of the resort, the WET Deck pool fans out like a lagoon, edged by loungers and cabanas that invite long, languid afternoons, with the atmosphere evolving from tranquil by day to more upbeat as the sun sets. The W Lounge just off the lobby is the social hub; a place to pause for a morning coffee, reconnect over a spritz or graze on small plates before heading out to dinner. Dining focuses on Mediterranean flavours and fresh Sardinian produce, with marina-side venues making the most of the setting and soft evening light.
For those keen to keep active, the gym offers modern cardio and strength equipment, while the surrounding coastline is a natural playground for sailing, paddleboarding and scenic hikes. Concierge and lifestyle teams are on hand to arrange private boat charters, beach club reservations and restaurant bookings, curating days that balance exploration with ease. Whether chosen as a standalone escape or combined with a wider Italian journey, W Sardinia – Poltu Quatu offers a stylish, sociable base from which to enjoy one of the Mediterranean’s most alluring coastlines.
