The Riviera spirit arrives on the Costa Smeralda at luxury beach club Nammos Baja Sardinia.
For those accustomed to summers along the Riviera, the name Nammos will already be familiar. From long afternoons in Psarou Bay, Mykonos to sunset dinners in Dubai, it has become synonymous with an international style of relaxed glamour. This year, the brand has anchored itself on the Costa Smeralda with a seasonal residency at Phi Beach, bringing a familiar rhythm of good food, music, and effortless luxury to one of Sardinia’s most captivating settings.
The restaurant sits directly on the shoreline, framed by granite cliffs and the brilliant blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is the kind of location that speaks naturally to the yachting crowd who move with ease between Monaco, Cannes, and Porto Cervo during the summer months. The décor is understated yet chic, a backdrop designed to complement rather than compete with the surroundings.
At lunchtime the pace is relaxed, though never quiet. Tables are filled with Mediterranean dishes and bottles of rosé, and it is not unusual for the energy to spill into dancing. The music is carefully curated, creating a sense of celebration without tipping into excess. In the evening, the mood shifts. Candles glow against the water, couples linger over beautifully plated seafood, and the restaurant reveals a more refined and romantic side.
The menu is firmly rooted in Mediterranean flavours, with a particular focus on seafood. Highlights include spicy crab tartar, risotto saganaki, and a delicate aubergine mille-feuille, alongside daily fish specials sourced from the market. Portions are designed to share, encouraging a convivial style of dining that feels both social and intimate.
Service is another hallmark. The staff are warm, attentive, and quick to anticipate needs, yet always discreet. It is hospitality delivered with ease, the kind that makes lingering for an extra glass of wine feel entirely natural.
For those who wish to extend the evening, Phi Beach is just steps away. Known as one of the Mediterranean’s most iconic open-air clubs, it regularly hosts international DJs and attracts a cosmopolitan crowd. Moving from dinner to music beneath the stars feels like a continuation of the same experience rather than a change of scene.
With its limited summer season, Nammos Baja Sardinia – which runs at Phi Beach from 13 June to 6 September – is a fleeting but memorable addition to the Mediterranean calendar. For travellers and yacht-goers charting a course between Monaco and Porto Cervo, it offers a new address that is already proving essential.
