See & Do

See & Do
You won't be short of things to do here – there is over 30km of wild coastline to explore, as well as 44 churches in Maratea and the ancient charterhouse of San Lorenzo 60km away. The city of Maratea is a UNESCO world heritage site and begs exploration. If sun worshipping is more your scene, just take the hotel’s shuttle bus to the beach though and zone out.

Spa
You can book a range of massages here, such as back and shoulder, Californian and Malaysian Wave – just the thing to round off a tough day by the pool.
