Pevero Golf Club
Pevero is one of the absolute icons of Mediterranean golf
Pevero is one of the absolute icons of Mediterranean golf, a course that unites the theatrical beauty of Costa Smeralda with architectural quality strong enough to make it truly important rather than merely pretty. Among granite outcrops, scented scrub and bays of almost unreal turquoise water, the layout creates an experience that stays with even well-traveled golfers who have played major resorts around the world. Yet Pevero is not sustained by scenery alone: it demands courage, precision, wind management and control on the greens. It is one of those rare courses where photography and strategy coexist at the same level. For elite travelers, it represents the most iconic and international face of Sardinian golf, ideal within a top-tier Costa Smeralda stay. More than a round, it is a declaration of style and territory. In Italy, very few clubs possess such immediate visual and symbolic power.
Giocalo con la mente lucida e la macchina fotografica pronta, ma in quest’ordine: a Pevero il paesaggio distrae, e proprio per questo va rispettato ancora di più.
One of Europe's most iconic and spectacular courses
Very strong and immediately memorable Sardinian identity
Wind and design make it severe
High season and Costa Smeralda context can impact costs and pace

Exclusive Experiences
Secrets found in no guidebook, curated by our concierge.
Costa Smeralda — Strada del Granito
Between Porto Cervo and inland Gallura lies a drier, more granitic and quieter Sardinia of scenic bends, scattered vineyards and rocks shaped by the mistral. It is the right detour for anyone who wants to understand the landscape that makes Pevero so singular.
“Stop in late afternoon above Cala di Volpe, where the road suddenly opens to the sea: it is one of the few corners of the Costa Smeralda that still feels surprisingly unperformed and very real.”
Cantina Surrau — Tavolo Riservato
Just minutes from the coast, Surrau is one of the wineries that best interprets Vermentino di Gallura in a contemporary key. Clean architecture, sharp light and saline wines make it a natural stop for anyone wishing to extend the mood of Pevero beyond the fairway.
“If you book the last tasting of the day, ask for an outdoor table rather than the main room: with the light dropping and the evening breeze turning, the whites feel even more taut and maritime.”
Petra Segreta — Spa Vista Macchia
Perched above the Costa Smeralda, this retreat among granite and myrtle pairs essential treatments with views opening all the way to Tavolara. It is the kind of wellness that works beautifully after a windy round: more silence than ritual, more breath than spectacle.
“Book the final hammam slot and stay until the scrub turns blue: it is one of the rare moments on the Costa Smeralda when luxury stops performing and simply begins to work.”
Ristorante Gianni Pedrinelli — Sul Molo
Since 1963, Pedrinelli has sat on the Porto Cervo marina like a fixed point while everything around it changes hands and seasons. The Catalan lobster and Sardinian sea bass come from fishermen the owner knows by name. This is not a restaurant for being seen — it is a restaurant for eating well.
“Ask for a table on the outdoor pier at sunset — the view across the marina is as good as anything on the plate.”
Nuraghe La Prisgiona — Villaggio del Bronzo
In the silence of the Gallura scrubland, a few kilometres from Arzachena, an extraordinarily intact Nuragic village rises from the earth: granite towers, circular huts, a sacred well. La Prisgiona was inhabited for over a thousand years and conveys, better than any museum, the scale of a civilisation that built for eternity.
“Come at morning opening, before the heat and school groups break the quiet — the pink granite towers in raking light are something rare.”
Capo d'Orso — L'Orso di Granito
On a headland above the Strait of Bonifacio, wind and millennia have carved the granite into the unmistakable form of a crouching bear watching over the La Maddalena Archipelago. From the viewpoint, the stretch of sea between Sardinia and Corsica stops you cold in a way no photograph ever manages. It is the kind of place you understand only by standing still.
“Come at sunset after the afternoon crowds have gone — the slanted light on pink granite and the backlit islands are among the most beautiful things in all of Gallura.”
Galleria L'Oca Bianca — Arte sulla Piazzetta
In the Piazzetta of Porto Cervo, the social heart of the Costa Smeralda, Galleria L'Oca Bianca has for decades maintained a programme of Italian and international contemporary art that surprises anyone who expects only luxury boutiques. The white spaces and exhibited works hold a conversation with Sardinian light filtered through local stone. It is where the summer season acquires an intellectual dimension.
“The July and August openings draw collectors from across Europe — worth checking the calendar before you arrive on the Costa Smeralda.”
