Tivoli Portopiccolo Sistiana Wellness Resort & Spa

The resort has just 58 rooms and suites, and the design is an ode to the godfather of Italian modernist architecture, Gio Ponti. Rooms feature sleek lines, geometric forms, and mid-century modern furnishings. The color palette is nautically inspired, and the bathrooms are fashioned from contrasting marble.

Start your day with an espresso and pastries at Ocyan Restaurant and come back later in the day for a Mediterranean-inspired dinner. The Purobeach Bar offers a wide selection of drinks and food by the pool, or head to Chiringuitos for lighter fare such as salads and smoothies.

The fitness center is stocked with Technogym equipment and weights, or get your heart rate pumping by joining a group fitness class. Personal training sessions are also available. Spend the day at one of the resort’s four pools or head to the spa, which offers a wide range of treatments and an extensive hydrotherapy circuit.

Explore the boutiques, galleries, and restaurants of Portopiccolo which is entirely car-free. Water-based activities include sailing and windsurfing. Head down the coast to visit Miramare Castle and Park.
