Polished with a trendy urban edge, 7Pines takes a step away from Costa Smeralda’s more traditional resorts found a little further south. With rooms spread over vast palm-studded grounds, it’s the youthful and young at heart who are found within their nourishingly-neutral walls, perfectly catered to in equal amounts. A restaurant trifecta serves a spectrum of palate-pleasing morsels from fine-dining seafood to gourmet pizza, two beaches and four coves make for plenty of space to explore, and boat trips from the resort’s pier put the beauty of the surrounding coast within easy reach. 

Living in harmony comes easy here but there’s no need to be sharing all the time. Grown-ups find their happy place in one of the two pools specifically reserved for them and let their hair down during vibrant nights full of dancing and DJ sets at the Cone Club, before retreating to the spa to detox and unwind the mornings after. Meanwhile, across the gardens, children have their own playground in the KIO Kids Club, where fun activities and a pool to themselves banish any feeling of missing out.
