Mangia’s Sardinia Resort, Autograph Collection

This move is part of the group’s broader strategy in northern Sardinia and particularly Santa Teresa Gallura, where Mangia’s has invested in complementary hospitality offerings, including an adults-oriented resort and a beach club, contributing to the development of a destination able to cater to a wide range of audiences and stay requirements. 

The collaboration with Marriott Bonvoy, already under way with Mangia’s Brucoli, Sicily, Autograph Collection, further strengthens the development of the Mangia’s portfolio. With the addition of the Sardinian resort, the group further consolidates a hospitality model that combines Italian identity, international standards and the enhancement of the destinations in which it operates. 

Hotel Investment Partners (HIP), one of the leading owners of resort hotels in Southern Europe owned by funds managed by Blackstone and GIC, has invested €65 million as part of a multi-year asset transformation programme, developed in several phases between 2023 and 2026. The works encompassed rooms, restaurants, common areas, outdoor spaces, sports facilities, meeting venues and guest services, all redesigned according to the principles of biophilic design and with the aim of repositioning the resort to international quality standards, while remaining in harmony with the landscape and identity of the Gallura region. 

Located in Santa Teresa Gallura, overlooking the La Maddalena Archipelago, Mangia’s Sardinia Resort, Autograph Collection now presents itself as a resort designed for a broad, international audience. With 589 rooms, almost all featuring a private terrace and sea view, the resort caters to families, couples seeking an adventure-driven holiday, senior travellers, groups of friends, and the MICE segment, thanks to its large capacity and dedicated services and facilities. 

The food and beverage offering is centred around ‘All-Inclusive Sublime’, the premium plan designed to offer a distinctive dining experience from breakfast through to dinner. Guests can enjoy a combination of buffet and à la carte restaurants, complemented by snacks, signature cocktails and a selection of beverages served across the resort's various bars. Mediterra Restaurant, Donna Floriana Bistrot, Al Grano Pizzeria and Scausu Grill, together with the other outlets, create a dine-around experience inspired by the flavours and excellence of Italian cuisine. 

The resort completes its offering with two swimming pools – the Main Pool and the Caprera Pool, dedicated to families and children, together with Sport Center, Fitness Center, meeting space, business center and Kids Club, for an experience able to meet the needs of families, couples, groups and MICE clientele. 

The new positioning enhances the connection between the resort and its surrounding, with Mangia’s Sardinia Resort, Autograph Collection providing a gateway to Gallura and its identity: the sea, the Strait of Bonifacio, coastal culture, local traditions and a way of experiencing a holiday deeply connected to nature and the rhythms of the island. This is encapsulated in the concept “More than an Italian summer, un’estate italianissima”: a contemporary take on the Italian holiday, designed for international guests seeking comfort, high-quality service and an authentic connection with the destination. This approach is fully aligned with the spirit of Autograph Collection Hotels, which brings over 265 independent hotels located in the most desirable destinations across the world, each with a recognisable story and identity. Joining Autograph Collection Hotels also invites guests to enjoy the benefits of Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott International’s award-winning travel program, connecting travellers to the people, places, and passions they love through an extraordinary collection of hotels and experiences worldwide.

Among the distinctive elements of the Autograph Collection experience, the resort also introduces its Autograph Moment: “Il Primo Sole” (The First Sun), a morning ritual inspired by the ancient Corsican-Gallurese cultures and their bond with the natural elements. Every morning, guests are invited to celebrate the start of the day with a shared moment that pays tribute to light, wind and stone - symbols of Gallura's identity. Guided by a host, guests discover the meaning behind this contemporary ritual, inspired by Mediterranean traditions, before raising a toast with a signature breakfast cocktail made with citrus, white myrtle, rosemary and local aromatic herbs, accompanied by a selection of local breakfast delicacies.  

Sustainability remains an integral part of the property's repositioning journey. Mangia’s Sardinia Resort, Autograph Collection has obtained BREEAM certification, issued in September 2024 and valid until 2027, recognising the project’s commitment to the environment, energy efficiency and the preservation of the surrounding landscape.  

As part of the resort's ongoing evolution, further initiatives aimed at enhancing the guest experience are also in the pipeline. This includes the opening of a spa and a splash water area dedicated to families, further strengthening the resort's leisure, wellness and family offering.
