The 5star night Porto Cervo crowd does not show up by accident. Sunday is the night that closes the week on the Costa Smeralda, and 5star is where it happens. It runs at Sottovento Club, a room that has worked this coast since 1979 and was reformulated in 2026 by the third generation of the family behind it. One night. One hundred and twenty guests. No more.
This is not a club night you wander into. It is built around selection, the table you sit at, and the people in the room. Here is how 5star works and what to expect.
What is 5star
5star is a recurring Sunday appointment at Sottovento. It carries the name of the night, not a one-off event. Each week the room resets for the same idea: a small crowd, a strong evening, and a sense that you are somewhere most people are not.
The cap is real. The club holds a maximum of 120 guests, and that number does not move on a busy Sunday. Fewer people means more space, better service, and a room that never tips into chaos. Music, lineup, and the full programme change through the season and are confirmed closer to each date [to confirm].
What stays constant is the frame. Doors to the club open at midnight and the night runs until 04:30. Before that, the evening starts at the table.
The Sunday Evening at Sottovento
The night does not begin at midnight. Fine dining starts at 20:30, with cuisine by Brothering Milano. You sit, you eat well, and the evening builds from there into the club.
That arc is the point. Dinner first, then the room fills. By the time the club opens, the people around you are already settled in. The transition from table to floor happens inside the same space, with the same crowd. There is no second venue, no queue across town, no restart. The Sunday holds together from the first course to the last hour.
Booking a table is the cleanest way to live the full evening. See private tables for what the table service includes, and use reservations to lock a Sunday before it fills.
The Vibe
The room is dark, close, and made for a crowd that knows where it is. With 120 people maximum, the floor never feels like a crush. You can hear the person next to you. You can move. The energy comes from the music and the people, not from packing bodies into a space.
Costa Smeralda has plenty of places to spend a Sunday. Few hold the line on size and selection the way this one does. The value is in restraint. A smaller room, run properly, beats a bigger one every time.
Who Attends 5star
5star draws a specific Sunday night Porto Cervo crowd. Regulars who treat the coast as home. Visitors who want the real version of the night, not the tourist one. People who book ahead because they know the room is small.
It is an exclusive Sunday club Sardinia audience in the literal sense: access runs by selection, so the room is curated rather than open. That keeps the night consistent week to week. You are with people who came for the same reason you did.
How to Get In
Access to Sottovento is by selection. There is no general-admission line that guarantees entry on a 5star Sunday. The most reliable route is a table.
Three steps:
- Read what the club offers so you know how the night is structured.
- Choose a private table for the full dinner-to-club evening.
- Confirm through reservations early, since 120 spots go fast on Sundays.
Book ahead. Sunday is the night people plan their week around, and the room is the smallest part of the equation.
