Booking Sottovento — what to know

Sottovento runs on the table economy: the room is built around its booths, and walk-up entry on a peak night is never a given. A confirmed table is the difference between an evening and a queue. Nights run daily, 20:00 to 06:00, with the sound centred on mixed. The door enforces a smart elegant dress code, and tables start around €2,000 minimum spend.

How we book it

Send your date, party size and an indicative budget on WhatsApp and we confirm directly with the venue — typically within the hour during the season. Nothing is committed until you approve; if your first choice is full we come back with the closest genuine alternative in Porto Cervo, never a downgrade dressed up.

Getting there & timing

Olbia airport is about 30 minutes away; many guests arrive by yacht into the marina. August is the defining month on the Costa Smeralda. VIP transport — jets, helicopters and chauffeured cars — can be arranged around the booking for guests arriving from overseas.

About Sottovento

Sottovento has been Porto Cervo's late room since 1979 — the club where the Costa Smeralda's dinner crowd reconvenes after midnight. Intimate by superclub standards and all the more selective for it; August tables are arranged ahead, not at the door.

Booking, the OF.luxury way

One message covers it: date, party size and any preferences. We confirm availability and the night's terms directly with the venue, hold the table in your name, and stay reachable until you are seated. Every booking is subject to the venue's availability and confirmed case by case.

Sottovento: a family-run room since 1979

Sottovento has been part of Costa Smeralda nightlife since 1979. It is on the SP59 road at Porto Cervo, in the commune of Arzachena. Guests reach it by car from the marina or from their villa.

Still a family house

The club is now run by the third generation of the same family. That continuity shows in a room that has not tried to become a superclub. The tone is elegant without display, and the crowd is chosen at the door.

Hours

In season Sottovento opens daily from 8pm until 6am. It is open from the early evening, unlike a club that starts at midnight. You can come for a drink after an early dinner, or arrive as the last stop of the night.

The music

The 2026 artistic direction aimed at mood rather than spectacle. The music sits in the background early in the evening and builds later. It suits guests who want to talk as well as dance.

Booking

The club advises booking ahead for July and August weekends. Midweek in June or September is easier. For a large party or a birthday, tell us early, as the room is smaller than its Pevero rival.

Arriving

  • From a yacht in the marina: a short car ride. We book the return tender for a fixed time.
  • From a villa: book the car for the return as well as the arrival.
  • From Olbia: about thirty minutes by road.

Who it suits

Sottovento suits regular visitors and small groups who want a known room late at night. For a show with dinner, see Billionaire. For villas nearby, see the Porto Cervo concierge.
