Costa Rossa is a stretch of coast in the North West of Sardinia – a brilliant green coastline, perfect for those of us who are Instagram-happy and ready for some sun. Beaches, bays, natural swimming pools with sandy bottoms and brilliantly coloured, crystal-clear waters will allow you to discover a new paradise every day. With eight properties nestled along the Gallura, (northern coast) Delphina offers a diverse range of facilities to suit all budgets and interests – all with a five-star service ethos.
