Evening entertainment features themed parties, live shows, and a disco. The wellness area provides massages with sea views.
Location & Access
The resort is in Torre Santo Stefano Otranto, 44 km from Lecce, overlooking a bay where the Adriatic meets the Ionian Sea. Nearby landmarks include Torre Santo Stefano ruins and Alimini Lakes. Accessible by car (A14 to Bari, then SS16 to Otranto), train (Lecce station, then FSE to Otranto), or Brindisi-Casale Airport. Private transfers are available from Brindisi Airport (€95 for 3 people) and Lecce station (€75 for 3 people).

“With its access to the Adriatic and Ionian seas, this resort certainly holds a special appeal for families, providing a classic, Mediterranean-vegetation-rich backdrop. The full-board option, including local cuisine, together with activities such as archery and bike tours, is a definite plus. While rooms might be basic, the location near Torre Santo Stefano, combined with wellness options, makes for a balanced vacation.”
