Italy's Coast Holidays

Explore The Italian Coast

Holidays on the Italian coast are simply sublime. Expect sun kissed sands and calm waters for the perfect beach holiday and bustling old port cities, and romantic harbour villages for those who can’t resist exploring! Along Italy’s coast you are guaranteed boatloads of fresh frutti di mare - and the seafood restaurants are simply delicious!

Holidays in the Tuscany Coast offer the perfect relaxing end to a food or wine holiday in Tuscany. Located in the northwest, the Tuscany Coast is ten times the length of the Amalfi Coast, where you can enjoy golden sands with serviced beach clubs and chic bars. Plus, there are hidden gems, such as Sanremo on the Ligurian Coast, known as the Italian Riviera, with its gorgeous swanky beaches and year-round temperate climate.

Luxury Holidays on the Neapolitan Riviera

Italy’s southwest coast is home to the magical Neapolitan Riviera, which stretches all along from Sorrento, conveniently close to Naples, down to the Amalfi Coast looking out across the tempting turquoise waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Experience whitewashed streets perfumed by the zesty citrus of lemon trees and enlivened by the pop of pink bougainvillea. Your evenings can be spent feasting in twinkling marina restaurants.

For Italy’s most famous coastal destination, of course, you’ll want an Amalfi Coast holiday, steeped in breathtaking beauty. Made up of 13 cliffside villages and beach resorts, it’s no wonder the intoxicatingly glamorous Amalfi Coast is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
