Fall asleep to the sound of waves, wake up in the morning, open the window and find yourself gazing at the shimmering blue sea of Liguria: what a dream, isn’t it? You can easily make it a reality by booking a seafront resort or holiday village!
To help you plan the holiday of your dreams, we’ve selected the best holiday villages in Liguria, situated in seaside towns along the Riviera di Ponente and Riviera di Levante. These combine stunning landscapes with comfort and convenience. Do bear in mind that you won’t find resorts in the Cinque Terre or other small villages where the terrain simply doesn’t accommodate large holiday villages.
We’ve chosen the 7 recommended resorts and villages featured on this page based on objective criteria such as price and location, as well as ratings from guests on leading hotel booking sites. Among the highest-rated are those offering the best value for money.
Some are highly exclusive, one is perfect for nature lovers, and others suit those who want to combine beach life with city living. What they all have in common, however, is the quality and range of services on offer: you can count on a private bathroom, air conditioning, parking, luggage storage, WiFi and other useful amenities.
All-inclusive packages aren’t always available, but when they are, it’s worth giving them serious consideration as they can help you save considerably. Remember that Liguria is generally not a budget destination, but a good four-star—or even a five-star—property can become very affordable if you track down the best deals.
The best way to find them is to start looking as early as possible!
One of Liguria’s best value-for-money holiday villages is Loano 2 Village, a four-star resort in the province of Savona nestled between the sea and mountains. Located just 5 km from the centre of Loano, it’s an ideal base for beach days and countryside excursions, though the resort’s packed schedule of activities will likely tempt you to stay put.
You can happily divide your days between 5 swimming pools (1 heated indoor pool and 4 outdoor pools, including one with water slides and kids’ games plus a hot tub), numerous sports facilities, and a full programme of resort entertainment. If you fancy venturing out, there’s a free shuttle service to Loano town centre and the beaches, just minutes away.
Guests particularly love the wide range of dining options and the children’s activities, which they rate as great fun and safe—making Loano 2 Village an excellent family holiday village.
Accommodation ranges from rooms to apartments sleeping 1 to 5 people; all are comfortable, well-designed and bright. Apartments include studios and one or two-bedroom units, each with a kitchenette complete with microwave.
A seafront resort perfect for a fantastic beach holiday on the Riviera dei Fiori is the Grand Hotel Mediterranee, a four-star property in Alassio, a resort town renowned for its long sandy beach and bustling atmosphere.
It’s the ideal choice if you want a holiday focused on comfort and convenience: the hotel overlooks a stretch of private beach where you’ll find a beach establishment and a bar serving seafood dishes and salads; a fuller restaurant menu is available in the main building, which overlooks a lovely garden.
Hotel guests can pre-book parasols and sunbeds (at additional cost) before arrival. Running parallel to the beach is the waterfront promenade where you can stroll from one end of Alassio town centre to the other.
The rooms and suites at Grand Hotel Mediterranee are classically furnished with all modern comforts and accommodate two people; sea-view rooms with balconies are also available.
The hotel features an indoor swimming pool with panoramic windows, a wellness centre with sauna, steam room and hot tub, plus a gym.
The Royal Hotel Sanremo is a five-star seafront resort inspired by the fabulous villas of early 20th-century elite tourism. Just like the aristocrats and celebrities who were Sanremo‘s first holiday-makers—the town also known as the City of Flowers—you too can be pampered by the hotel’s impeccable staff, always ready to fulfil your every wish.
Just a four-minute walk from the famous casino, this resort is the perfect choice for a couples’ getaway steeped in luxury and glamour, for celebrating a special occasion or simply treating yourself to a royal stay.
The elegant building stands facing a section of sea with an exceptional emerald-green hue and crystal clarity, set within a lush park spanning over 16,000 square metres. From the hotel you have direct access to a partnered beach equipped with parasols, loungers and changing facilities. Alternatively, enjoy sea views from above whilst swimming in the hotel’s exclusive pool, framed by manicured lawns and palm trees.
The rooms and common areas are tastefully decorated with fine period furniture and accessories evoking a stately home; every detail is carefully chosen to create a refined and supremely comfortable setting.
The dining offer is equally refined, with a seafront restaurant and garden open year-round, plus a poolside snack bar and a romantic terrace restaurant open during the summer season.
Choose from various room and suite options, all for two guests; standard rooms offer hillside views, whilst the most luxurious feature a balcony with sea views.
Another five-star property combining old-world charm with modern services is the Grand Hotel Del Mare Resort & Spa, just 2 km from the centre of Bordighera, an elegant town between Sanremo and Ventimiglia.
The resort occupies a low promontory overlooking an enchanting stretch of rocky coastline bathed by deep blue waters with incredible shades. Hotel guests can access a complimentary private beach or enjoy a magnificent outdoor swimming pool with heated saltwater and a jacuzzi area; there’s also a wellness centre and gym.
The rooms and common areas are adorned with antiques and works of art. Accommodation options include double and twin rooms plus suites for two guests with sea views, pool or garden views; all are spacious, comfortable and beautifully appointed.
Guests consistently praise the professionalism of the staff and the exclusive services on offer, including personal shopping and personal training.
For meals you can choose from three different bars and restaurants open from early morning until late evening, and in one case open 24 hours a day.
If you prefer contemporary design to antique furniture, the seafront village of your dreams is the Dominio Mare Resort & Spa in Bergeggi, a charming village on the Riviera delle Palme.
The hotel sits on a small rise overlooking a private sandy beach accessible on foot via a dramatic staircase in just 15 minutes, equipped with parasols, loungers and changing cabins (at additional cost). If you prefer, you can use a convenient shuttle bus. This unique position means that from every point in the resort you can enjoy breathtaking sea views.
Moreover, the resort is just 10 km from Savona port, making it an excellent choice for those in Liguria just passing through, waiting to board a Mediterranean cruise or ferry to Sardinia and Corsica.
While location is undoubtedly Dominio Mare’s strong suit, guests also greatly appreciate its modern spa and the range of outdoor activities available in the surrounding area (trekking expeditions, mountain biking, golf and diving).
Accommodation includes studios and one or two-bedroom apartments sleeping up to six adults. All are bright and airy with large windows and glass doors, furnished with neutral-toned contemporary pieces; some units feature a private garden or terrace, and the most luxurious enjoy sea views.
If you’re dreaming of total immersion in nature, book Villaggio Smeraldo straight away—an excellent camping and holiday village right on the beach just minutes from the centre of Moneglia. It sits at the foot of a vegetation-covered hillside, facing a shingle beach that combines facilities with wild charm; you’ll find some sandy beaches in the vicinity, better suited to families with very young children.
Moneglia lies almost halfway between Portofino and the Cinque Terre, so Villaggio Smeraldo is both an enchanting spot for a seaside break away from crowded fashionable beaches and an excellent base for exploring the wonders of the Riviera di Levante.
Accommodation consists of bungalows sleeping 5 people with two bedrooms, featuring a private bathroom, kitchen, sitting area and terrace. Some are beachfront, others face the pine grove though you can still see the sea from these. The furnishings are entirely wooden: warm, welcoming and perfectly in harmony with the natural surroundings.
The village has a restaurant, bar and minimarket: you’ll never need to leave for dinner!
Want four-star comfort but can’t bear to give up the warmth of family-run hospitality? The Hotel Caravelle Thalasso & Wellness in Diano Marina is exactly what you’re looking for. Surrounded by palms and eucalyptus trees, the hotel is a peaceful oasis just a short distance from Diano Marina’s lively streets; direct access to a private beach is yours from the hotel.
This seafront property suits various types of holiday. Families will appreciate the many services, children’s play areas and entertainment programme; couples will love the beautiful sunsets over the sea whilst younger guests can have fun in the nearby bars and clubs of Diano town centre.
The surrounding area offers plenty of opportunities for sports activities, including mountain biking, trekking, snorkelling and sailing, making Caravelle Thalasso & Wellness an excellent base for those seeking an outdoor holiday.
Many guests also choose this property for a wellness break. In the hotel’s thalassotherapy centre you can treat yourself to beauty treatments using mud or seawater, or simply relax in the jacuzzi bath.
