The hotel, designed by the architect Jean Claude Le Suisse, is an example of innovative Mediterranean architecture; a perfect combination of Sardinian art and culture with Spanish design. The signature features of the architecture style are light and space.
Poltu Quatu: the “hidden port”
Poltu Quatu means the hidden port in Sardinian and was built in 1987, inspired by the island’s traditional fishing villages. The port has a spacious circular “piazza”, charming, narrow streets and white buildings, which contrast with the granite rock.
The Costa Esmeralda, in the north of Sardinia, is an area of exceptional natural beauty, and the port of Poltu Quatu is one of its most evocative corners. Poltu Quatu is a magnificent natural inlet with cliffs that plunge down into crystal clear waters and of the characteristic colour and perfume of its Mediterranean setting.
The Meliá Poltu Quatu opened in 2002 and is now one of the area’s most popular luxury five star hotels.
