In perfect harmony with nature, Costa Smeralda emerged from the uninhabited, untouched area at the north-eastern tip of Sardinia. Prince Aga Khan and other interested collaborators discovered the boundless potential of the area and set to work developing and transforming Costa Smeralda into an exclusive, luxury escape. VIP guests such as Marisa Berenson, Roberto and Eva Cavalli and Naomi Campbell have since been seduced by the scents of juniper mixed with the salty perfume of the ever-present Mediterranean Sea. The region's natural abundance blends seamlessly with an original architectural style that makes Costa Smeralda a unique destination.
Founded on 14 March 1962 by order of Prince Karim Aga Khan, Consorzio Costa Smeralda was established with the aim of planning and balancing urban and residential development within the territorial limits of Costa Smeralda.

Smeralda Holding, the largest member of the Consorzio Costa Smeralda, has the relative majority and ownership of the main hotels (Hotel Cervo, Hotel Pitrizza, Hotel Romazzino, Hotel Cala di Volpe), land, restaurants, shops on the Costa Smeralda.
