The new Twiga Porto Cervo rewrites history, reshaping this iconic location that embodies the Italian “dolce vita.” The atmosphere evolves under the vision of LMDV Hospitality Group, which acquired the venue from the former Billionaire; architecture and interiors are renewed through the project by Stefano Belingardi Architects, while the design is further refined by Poliform with fully bespoke, custom-made scenographic solutions. With this project, the company continues its synergistic collaboration with the group, following Twiga Versilia, Twiga Milano and Twiga Monte Carlo.
In the heart of Costa Smeralda, Twiga Porto Cervo brings the brand’s signature “dinner to club” format to life through a complete experience blending fine dining and entertainment. Within the more than 2,000 square meters of space, three distinct yet complementary concepts coexist: the Casa Fiori Chiari bistro on the first floor, the Vesta restaurant, and the Twiga club with DJ sets on the upper level. The common thread, as architect Stefano Belingardi Clusoni explains, is “the idea of combining an international identity with a strong connection to the local territory, creating a dialogue between contemporaneity and tradition.”
On the second floor, stone and wood dominate the material palette, giving the venue an authentic yet sophisticated character, paired with steel and lacquered finishes that enhance its contemporary look. The chromatic and tactile palette plays on balanced contrasts—alternating light and dark tones, cool industrial surfaces and natural three-dimensional textures. Poliform masterfully interpreted this refined dualism, shaping materials into an interior that is both immersive and sensorial. Through a total custom project, the company’s Contract Division developed ceiling and wall cladding, doors, the bar and DJ counter, benches and boiserie elements, integrating catalog pieces reinterpreted to align with Twiga’s style, such as Floute tables and Loai chairs, as well as bespoke-designed lighting.
