A New Chapter Begins: Mangia's Sardinia Resort Joins Autograph Collection by Marriott

Its granite coastline shaped by the wind, the crystal-clear waters of the La Maddalena Archipelago, the scents of Mediterranean herbs and the timeless rhythm of island life have inspired travellers for generations. It is here, in Santa Teresa Gallura, that Mangia's has spent the last few years reimagining one of the island's most iconic resorts. 

Today, we are proud to announce that Mangia's Sardinia Resort has officially joined Autograph Collection by Marriott, marking a significant milestone in our journey to bring authentic Italian hospitality to an international audience. 

More than a partnership 

Joining Autograph Collection is more than becoming part of one of the world's most respected hospitality portfolios. 

It is the recognition of a philosophy we have always believed in: that every destination has its own identity, every hotel has its own story, and every guest deserves an experience that could only happen in that place. 

Autograph Collection brings together independent hotels defined by their character and individuality. That vision perfectly reflects what Mangia's has always sought to create—resorts deeply connected to their surroundings, where contemporary comfort meets local culture, nature and authentic Italian lifestyle. 

Reimagining an iconic destination 

The transformation of Mangia's Sardinia Resort has been the result of a multi-year redevelopment project carried out between 2023 and 2026, supported by a total investment of €65 million. 

Every aspect of the resort has been carefully reimagined—from guest rooms and restaurants to public spaces, sports facilities, meeting venues and outdoor areas—with one clear ambition: creating a destination capable of meeting the expectations of today's international traveller while remaining unmistakably rooted in Sardinia. 

Today, the resort welcomes guests with 589 rooms, most featuring private terraces overlooking the sea, offering a destination designed for families, couples, groups and MICE travellers alike. Premium dining experiences, multiple pools, wellness and sports facilities, dedicated spaces for children and immersive local experiences come together to create a contemporary Mediterranean retreat. 

More than an Italian Summer 

At Mangia's, we believe that luxury is measured not only by exceptional service, but by the emotions a place can inspire. 

This vision comes to life through our concept: 

More than an Italian Summer. An Estate Italianissima. 

It is an invitation to experience Italy beyond postcards and clichés—to wake up with the scent of the sea, discover local traditions, savour authentic cuisine, embrace slow mornings and unforgettable sunsets, and connect with a destination in its most genuine form. 

As part of the Autograph Collection experience, guests will also discover "Il Primo Sole", the resort's signature Autograph Moment: a sunrise ritual inspired by the ancient traditions of Gallura, celebrating light, nature and the beginning of each new day through storytelling and local flavours. 

Looking ahead 

The opening of this new chapter represents another important step in Mangia's long-term vision. 

By combining the strength of international partnerships with the authenticity of Italian hospitality, we continue to invest in destinations that deserve to be shared with the world while preserving the identity that makes them unique. 

Because the future of luxury hospitality is not about creating places that all look the same. 

It is about creating places that guests will never forget. 

And this is only the beginning.
