When most hear the name Missoni, a trapeze of vivacious knitwear arises on the mind’s horizon. Caught up in its web of electrifying shades this summer is another Italian icon. Not unlike the famed fashion house, Sardinia is known far and wide for its signature hues pulsing with effervescence and renewing energy. Surrounded by its aquamarine coasts and scorching sunsets, the Italian island unravels Missoni’s thread of luxury living in a new direction. South that is, to Costa Smeralda.

Akin to the island’s landscape, generous with chroma, Missoni’s makes a splash on the Sardinian scene with marine palettes and lively motifs on furnishings and fabrics. There are tangy limes and tantalizing teals, embracing among towels and décor. Emulating its celestial and thalassic peers, sun umbrellas, too, mimic the island’s signature shades of cool. Their sum? One undeniably chic spin on seaside serenity.

Where turquoise waves crash with whispers of salty splendor along ivory shores, you’ll find Missoni. Redefining the Mediterranean off-duty mode, the house joins forces with Nikki Beach at Porto Cervo. Mirroring Missoni’s affinity for azure, Cala Petra Ruja is perhaps the ideal destination for a Missoni holiday.

Only accessible by private yacht, Nikki Beach Costa Smeralda is for those who prefer their holiday spelled out in lowercase letters. Enveloping A-listers and adventure seekers alike in an aura of luxe leisure, the exclusive destination intersects fine dining, entertainment, and fashion—minus the brouhaha and tourist traffic of major cities. Whether you’re bathing in the Sardinian sun or reclining with some Rosé, a holiday at Nikki Beach is all about a little lowkey R and R.

That’s not all. If you desire the flavors of the Mediterranean, your quest ends with the Burrata Ravioli. Where fresh Ligurian basil, Stracciatella cheese, and the quintessential extra virgin olive oil coalesce, Italian heritage gets translated into the vernacular of taste. Should you prefer to keep your meal light—like your spirits—try the Sexy Salad.

If it’s the sun you seek, head to Costa Smeralda for a Sardinian holiday a la Missoni. Equally stunning as exclusive, Nikki Beach Costa Smeralda is not just a beach—it’s an experience.
