Description
A pristine slice of the Costa Smeralda, Porto Rotondo captures the Mediterranean’s most idyllic summer escape through Slim Aarons’ distinctive lens. In this stunning aerial view, a collection of sleek white yachts and classic motorboats are anchored in the glittering turquoise waters off Sardinia’s northeast coast. The shoreline curves gently along a sandy beach, while rugged rock formations and soft dunes frame the tranquil cove in natural elegance.
What immediately strikes the viewer is the crystalline clarity of the sea, shifting from pale aqua to deep sapphire as it extends into the open horizon. Boats of all sizes gently sway in the calm waters, their occupants lounging under the sun or diving into the refreshing Mediterranean. The scene radiates an effortless sense of exclusivity and leisure, perfectly embodying Aarons’ signature portrayal of the jet set lifestyle without a hint of pretense or staging.
Porto Rotondo reflects Aarons’ mastery of composition, balancing the natural beauty of Sardinia with the understated luxury of nautical life. This image offers not just a visual feast, but a vivid sense of time and place — the golden era of Mediterranean glamour, where elite travelers sought out secluded harbors and sun-drenched hideaways far from the public eye.
Printed using the finest archival materials, Porto Rotondo brings the sunlit allure of Sardinia into contemporary interiors. Its serene palette and elevated perspective make it a standout piece for collectors, decorators, and design professionals looking to infuse a sense of refined coastal beauty into luxury homes, yachts, or boutique hotel spaces.
