A Concierge’s Guide to Rome’s Most Exclusive Beaches

Benvenuti! As your concierge here in Rome, my greatest pleasure is to introduce you to the city’s timeless luxuries. While the grandeur of the Colosseum and the elegance of the Via Veneto are essential to the Roman experience, there comes a time when the heart yearns for the sea. A quick, luxurious escape to the coast is a Roman tradition, a perfect antidote to the summer heat and a beautiful way to see another side of Lazio.

Allow me to guide you to the most exquisite coastal destinations and, more importantly, to ensure your journey there is as refined as your stay with us.

The Destinations: Where to Find Your Perfect Seashore

The Roman coastline is not just one beach, but a tapestry of unique seaside experiences. I have a few personal favorites that I recommend to our guests seeking tranquility, elegance, and pristine beauty.

• Sabaudia: For those who desire a truly exclusive and unspoiled setting, Sabaudia is my first recommendation. Situated within the Circeo National Park, its long, sandy dunes are a protected natural wonder. The atmosphere here is one of quiet sophistication, attracting a discerning clientele who appreciate its understated glamour. The beach clubs here are chic and tranquil, offering a level of service that is second to none.

• San Felice Circeo: Steeped in the myth of the sorceress Circe, this destination offers more than just a beach; it provides a stunning natural landscape where lush greenery meets the sea. The historic town perched on the cliffs provides a beautiful backdrop, and the exclusive marina is home to elegant yachts. It’s a place for long, leisurely afternoons by the water, followed by an unforgettable dinner with a view.

• Fregene: If you seek a more vibrant and fashionable escape closer to the city, Fregene is the answer. Known for its stylish beach clubs, or stabilimenti, it has been a favorite of Rome’s socialites and artists for decades. It’s the perfect place for a delicious seaside lunch, a crisp glass of white wine, and a taste of the Roman high life outside the city walls.

  
  

The Journey: Travel in Uncompromising Style

A truly luxurious day trip is not just about the destination, but the journey itself. To ensure your comfort and privacy, I recommend a private transport solution that eliminates all worries of traffic and parking.

By Chauffeur: The most seamless option is a private, chauffeur-driven car. Imagine being collected directly from our hotel’s entrance in a high-end sedan, perhaps a Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Your driver will navigate the scenic coastal roads, allowing you to relax, enjoy the view, and arrive at your chosen beach club refreshed and ready for your day. This is the epitome of effortless travel.

By Sea: For an unforgettable day at Circeo or the Pontine Islands, a private chartered yacht offers the ultimate luxury. We can arrange for a sleek motor yacht to collect you from a nearby port, providing a breathtaking view of the coastline from the water. You can spend the day swimming in secluded coves, sunbathing on deck with a glass of prosecco, and arriving at your destination in spectacular fashion.

The Beach Club Experience

Regardless of your chosen destination, I will ensure your day is flawlessly arranged. We will reserve a private cabana with immaculate service, where you can order a delightful lunch of fresh seafood and local wine. From the moment you leave our hotel to the moment you return, every detail will be taken care of.

The magic of Rome lies in its many layers, and a day at the sea is a vital part of the story. I look forward to helping you write your own chapter of Roman coastal luxury. Do not hesitate to contact me, and we shall begin planning your perfect escape.
