Nikki Beach Reopens in Costa Smeralda, Italy’s Hottest Luxury Playground

Nikki Beach Reopens in Costa Smeralda, Italy’s Hottest Luxury Playground

Nikki Beach Costa Smeralda has officially reopened for the summer season as of May 29th, unveiling a refreshed beach club experience on the iconic shores of Cala Petra Ruja. On June 28th, the brand will debut The Nikki Beach Cocktail Club at the Porto Cervo Waterfront, transforming a former seasonal lounge into an entirely new concept focused on elevated cocktails, light bites, and golden hour ambiance. While separate from the beach club, The Nikki Beach Cocktail Club brings the brand’s signature flair to a new setting designed for aperitivo moments and evening unwinds.

Tucked along the turquoise coastline of Cala Petra Ruja, Nikki Beach Costa Smeralda offers one of the brand’s most exclusive escapes. Accessible only by private yacht or a complimentary shuttle from Cala di Volpe Bay, guests arrive directly at the club’s private dock before stepping into a sun-soaked sanctuary designed for barefoot luxury. Last season, this hidden gem welcomed global A-listers including Leonardo DiCaprio, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, Jeff Bezos, and Queen Mary & King Frederick of Denmark, each drawn to its unmatched blend of privacy and natural beauty. This year, the beach club has been refreshed with a beautified arrival area, expanded daybed and lounge spaces, and new décor inspired by the sea and surrounding landscape.

As part of this summer’s culinary refresh, Nikki Beach Costa Smeralda is proud to welcome a seasonal collaboration with Chef Vincent Broggi, crowned French Sushi Cup Champion in 2023 and World Sushi Cup Champion in 2024. Known for his bold, contemporary approach to Japanese cuisine, Chef Broggi has developed three exclusive sushi rolls for the 2025 season, available only at Nikki Beach Costa Smeralda and Nikki Beach Saint-Tropez. One standout is the Hola Guapo Roll, featuring Balfegó bluefin tuna, avocado, cucumber, mint, spicy tartare, masago, ikura, chives, spicy eel sauce, and puffed rice. Also new to the menu this year are the Lobster Catalana and Paccheri ai Tre Pomodori, joining the lineup of seasonal coastal cuisine.

This season, Nikki Beach Costa Smeralda will welcome a new lineup of summer moments along the shores of Cala Petra Ruja. Here are a few upcoming highlights: 

  • Friends of Sound – Guest DJ Adrien Priami – June 5 & 6 | 2PM - 6PM
    The Friends of Sound series returns, spotlighting artists who elevate the Nikki Beach experience. Guest DJ Adrien Priami will take over the decks for two dynamic afternoons of music, connection, and high-energy vibes that carry from the restaurant to the sea.
  • The Art of Bien-Être: Paint by the Sea – June 21 & 22 | 11:30AM - 3:30PM
    A new expression of creativity and calm, this serene watercolor session invites guests to paint right on the beach, surrounded by flowers, natural textures, and the sea itself. Whether guided or freeform, the experience offers a moment to reconnect, reflect, and capture your summer story on canvas.
  • Those Shoreline Vibes – Select Dates Throughout the Season | 2PM to 6PM
    Nikki Beach Costa Smeralda’s new music series bringing fresh energy and eclectic sounds to the beach. Set against the backdrop of the sea, each afternoon blends beachy rhythms, global percussion, and eclectic house into one seamless soundscape. Featuring a rotation of rising and established talent, this fluid, feel-good experience turns the beach into a place to move, connect, and unwind.

Opening June 28th, The Nikki Beach Cocktail Club will debut at the Porto Cervo Waterfront, unveiling a reimagined version of the former lounge space as a new coastal cocktail concept. Situated along the scenic pier of Porto Vecchio, the Waterfront is an open-air destination in the heart of Porto Cervo, perfect for guests arriving by yacht to enjoy a drink, browse nearby boutiques, or soak in the marina views. The Nikki Beach Cocktail Club features a walk-in-only setting with a drinks-first approach inspired by aperitivo hour. Signature cocktails crafted by our expert mixologists are paired with seasonal light bites, all served in a setting that invites sunset gatherings and relaxed evenings by the sea. The Nikki Beach Cocktail Club will welcome guests nightly from 6PM - 1AM, offering the perfect setting to ease into the evening.
