🏖 Le Dune Piscinas, an exclusive 5-star resort in southwestern Sardinia, showcases the architectural transformation of a former mining warehouse by FVR Engineering and PL-AG Studio. The resort features 28 rooms and suites, three restaurants—one led by Michelin-starred chef Fabio Ciervo—plus a spa, gym, and outdoor pool. Historical elements such as stone flooring, Orosei marble, original wooden beams, and a large fireplace have been preserved. Outdoor furnishings by Pedrali, including Panarea armchairs by CMP Design and Reva Twist sofas and chairs by Patrick Jouin, adorn the American bar I Gechi and the library, which houses local cultural and mining history. Poolside Rail sun loungers and Elliot tables add modern comfort for relaxation with a sea view, all contributing to a refined yet respectful atmosphere blending contemporary elegance with the site’s history and natural surroundings.
