Main types of places in Italy

Lidos and equipped beaches

Italy is famous for its lidos, typically equipped with sunbeds, umbrellas, restaurants and lounge areas. They offer a refined and well-organised atmosphere with direct access to the sea.

Beach clubs

In popular coastal regions, beach clubs deliver a more premium seaside experience: curated ambiance, music, bars on the beach and high-end services. They attract both local visitors and international travellers.

Hotel pools

The country also features many hotels with pools located by the sea or in panoramic coastal settings. Some properties offer day access options, allowing guests to enjoy the facilities without staying overnight.

A relaxing day in Italy

Thanks to its Mediterranean climate, the period from spring to early autumn is ideal for enjoying beach clubs, lidos and hotel pools. July and August are the busiest months, while June and September offer perfect conditions with fewer crowds.

Coastal regions often combine seaside relaxation with Italian cuisine, historic villages and natural landscapes, creating a balance between leisure and local discovery.
