In a travel industry that never stops, plenty of hotel openings pass, unfortunately, unobserved. But even as things wound down ahead of the bank holiday, that wasn't the case with the just-launched W Sardinia.
A marvel of contemporary craftsmanship by acclaimed New York studio Meyer Davis, this quirky, imaginative new resort calls Poltu Quatu ("hidden port" in the local dialect) — a secluded village tucked between the glamorous Porto Cervo and the spellbinding Baia Sardinia on the northeast coast of the Italian island — its home, making for an absorbing experience filled with panoramic views over the La Maddalena Archipelago and a celebrity-approved atmosphere.
