Costa Smeralda

Costa Smeralda is the name which was given , in 1962 , by the founding members of the Consorzio Costa Smeralda to the area of the land owned by them in the north-eastern extremity of Sardinia .

The name , which was inspired by the striking colour of the surrounding sea , refers , therefore , exclusively to the particular area comprising Consorzio Costa Smeralda land .

Along these 55 Km. of coastline there are some eighty sheltered beaches with fine , white sand gently shelving into an emerald green sea . The temperature is mild during most of the year.
The Consorzio Costa Smeralda is an association whose founders set themselves the task of protecting and planning , with care and taste , this previously untouched part of Sardinia .

They commissioned a panel of the world's leading architects and planners to draw up a master plan.

Infinite precautions have been applied so as not to spoil this earthly paradise.


The result has been the armonius combination of the work of man with nature , so that buildings are not imposed on the landscape but , rather , blend in with it and enhance it .

Those who acquire a villa, an apartment or a land in the area of the Consorzio automatically become members of the Consorzio Costa Smeralda and are thereby obliged to conform to the Statute and Building Regulations laid down by the Consorzio Board and the Architectural Committee .

The Consorzio Costa Smeralda remains a non profit organization devoted to the protection of the the area and the supervision of such important service companies as the Environmental Protection Service , the Water Supply and Medical Sevice .
