Costa Smeralda captures the timeless beauty and glamour of Sardinia’s legendary coastline, where crystal-clear Mediterranean waters meet refined luxury and untouched nature. Once an uninhabited stretch of land, Costa Smeralda was transformed in the 1960s through the vision of Karim Aga Khan IV and his associates into one of the world’s most exclusive seaside destinations.

Richly illustrated, this volume explores the region’s distinctive architecture, vibrant culture, and enduring allure, alongside the iconic hotels, beaches, and social scene that have attracted international figures including Naomi Campbell and Roberto Cavalli. Blending natural splendor with sophisticated living, the book is a tribute to the history, elegance, and Mediterranean spirit of Costa Smeralda.
