The Entire Palette of the Italian Coast

An elite retreat on Italy's most picturesque shores. We know the secluded coves, the white-sand beaches, and the best sunset views.

Italy is famous not only for its incredibly rich cultural heritage and cuisine but also for some of the most scenic and diverse coastlines in Europe. Its shoreline stretches for 7,600 km, washed by the waters of five seas: the Adriatic, Ionian, Tyrrhenian, Ligurian, and Mediterranean.
Its beaches are known for their variety: from sandy shores with gentle entries into the water, perfect for families, to rocky and pebble coves with crystal-clear water.
The most famous coasts are the Amalfi Coast, Cinque Terre, Sardinia with its emerald bays, and the lively beaches of Rimini. The best time for a visit is from May to September when the water is warm and the weather is most comfortable. However, we recommend avoiding trips in August due to the high season and the Italian Ferragosto holidays.

Cala Goloritzè

A beach in the town of Baunei, on the western coast of Sardinia.
Goloritzè can be reached by boat or via a trail that leads from the plateau down to the cove. To get to the beach by sea, the most comfortable and cost-effective option is to rent a boat from the nearby ports of Arbatax or Santa Maria Navarrese.

San Vito Lo Capo

San Vito Lo Capo beach is located in the town of the same name on the northwestern coast of Sicily.
Its main feature is a long stretch of fine white sand and turquoise water, reminiscent of the tropics, set against the backdrop of a rugged rocky headland. It also offers views of the Zingaro Nature Reserve, which can be reached on foot via a trail or by rented boat from the town's port.

Tropea

A beach in the town of Tropea, on the Tyrrhenian Sea in Calabria.
It is easily reached on foot by descending staircases and winding streets directly from the historic center, which perched on a cliff above. A distinctive feature is the view of the town's symbol, the Santa dell'Isola church, on a rocky outcrop, creating one of Italy's most photographed landscapes. From here, you can take a boat to nearby grottoes and Cape Capo Vaticano, known for its views and coral reefs.
