Welcome

A design from 1963

Hotel Cala di Volpe is a Luxury Collection resort designed in 1963 by Jacques Couëlle, with sea-facing ceremonies for 80 to 300 guests, 121 rooms and suites and exclusive use available.

The French sculptor and architect Jacques Couëlle designed the hotel in 1963 for the Aga Khan's development of Sardinia's north coast. Its rounded arches, terracotta and rough plaster were meant to look as if they grew out of the rock.
