The Adriatic Riviera

For a true Italian beach holiday

Blue, white, green, gold

Welcome to our Riviera

A vast sweep of sandy beaches between the Adriatric Sea and lush pine forests, on the warm and welcoming coastline between Milano Marittima and Tagliata. 
The beaches stretch as far as the eye can see and the air is filled with the scent of fresh pine. The white of the salt pans contrasts with the golden dunes and the bright blue sea.

Start the day by watching the sun rise over the sea, then take a walk to the fish market in the old town, visit the Salt Museum, before relaxing in the Terme di Cervia spa. In the evening it's time for a delicious meal in a gourmet restaurant, before moving on to one of the nightclubs which have made Milano Marittima famous.

One resort; 4 centres

Milano Marittima is the “garden town” and is the place to be for glamour and shopping.
Cervia will delight you with its old seaside charms and its “good living”. In the shade of the pine trees in Pinarella and Tagliata, you can savour the tranquillity of this beautiful natural oasis.
