The city mixes Mediterranean-inspired restaurants, panoramic pools, long private beaches and festive atmospheres that shift from peaceful to energetic throughout the day. Choosing the right spot depends on the experience you want: slow mornings near the sea, a calm lunch by the pool, a sunset drink with music or a full beach day with friends.
