THE RESORT
The Resort
A MEDITERRANEAN PARADISEThe idyllic island of Elba has been a favourite with our clients for many years and it is no surprise why. Elba is a charming holiday island and just a short ferry ride from the mainland. It retains a traditional Italian feel and has managed to avoid the clutches of mass tourism. Throughout the summer season our in-resort team are on hand to welcome you and provide you with all the support you need. They’ll introduce you to all the best experiences the hotel and surroundings have to offer and will recommend ideas and experiences that will ensure you have a memorable holiday.

There are also shipwrecks to explore, the most famous being the Elviscot wreck which can be found just off the beach in Pomonte and lies in shallow waters, making it an easy wreck for all to explore.
