Sardinia, Costa Smeralda
Sardinia's Costa Smeralda is one of the Mediterranean's most private corners, a run of coves, granite headlands and marinas that draws travellers who want the sea without the crowds of the mainland coast. Flying in saves hours against the summer road and ferry queues: a Light Jet from Rome covers the 158 nm in about 0h 44m from €5,500 to €6,700 one way, while Geneva to Olbia takes roughly 1h 16m in a Light Jet, priced from €8,100 to €10,100 one way. For those coming from further afield, a Heavy Jet from Dubai makes the 2608 nm journey in about 6h 00m. For a coastline built around discretion and short notice, private arrival is less a luxury than a practicality.

How you arrive
- Olbia Costa Smeralda●OLB · LIEO
Olbia Costa Smeralda (OLB) is the single airport used for private arrivals into this part of Sardinia, placing travellers about 30 minutes by car from Porto Cervo once wheels are down. The airport works well for most of the year, but in July and August demand for apron space and slots rises sharply alongside the season's traffic, so requests are best made early rather than closer to departure. Outside those peak weeks, arrival tends to be straightforward, with the short transfer to Porto Cervo making Olbia a convenient gateway for the whole Costa Smeralda.
When to go
The season runs from June to September, with the peak stretching from mid July to the end of August. Anyone planning to fly in during that peak window should expect tighter slot and apron availability at Olbia Costa Smeralda, which makes early booking the sensible approach rather than an option.
