ABI D’ORU BEACH HOTEL AND SPA

Less than 5 kilometres from Porto Rotondo, the Abi d’Oru Beach Hotel & Spa
belongs to the history of luxury tourism in Sardinia. It was Porto Rotondo’s first
hotel, built in 1963 by Ciga Hotels’ boss. At the time, the group was the ambassador
of Italy’s finest hospitality. The project was led by Simon Mossa, a Sardinian
architect and an intellectual who also took an active part in one of Italy’s most
celebrated successes in the tourism industry: the Costa Smeralda.
The Abi d’Oru (“golden bee” in the Sardinian language) is a beehive of hexagons
with 162 rooms, almost all of them with a view on Golfo Marinella. It represents the
perfect encounter of modern style with the island’s traditions.
In 2017 the hotel embarked on a significant modernisation journey to bring it back
to its former glory, yet fully respecting the local style and taste. The renovation
works started with the Spa, featuring a sauna, a Turkish bath and emotional
showers, and continued with two luxury presidential suites complete with a private
elevator, Ulassai marble, gold finishings and a spectacular terrace overlooking the
bay.
Rethink Energy was in charge of the preliminary and final projects regarding the
electrical, special, mechanical and fire systems, using heat-pump green technology
and vegetable oil cogeneration, as well as taking on MEP works coordination and
project management.
