Introducing Forte dei Marmi

Forte dei Marmi rose to fame at the turn of the century as a glamorous getaway for the Italian elite – a reputation kept alive to this day. Set off from your luxury hotel and saunter along a wide seafront lined with elegant art nouveau hotels. Bask in the sun on the endless beaches, or seek out a chic restaurant and dine on Tuscan cuisine. 

Things to do

BEACHES
Forte dei Marmi is famed for its long, pristine beaches, which can be accessed right from the seafront. Pull up a sun lounger and relax. Or take a swim in the warm, azure waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

SPORTS
Those in search of a more active holiday will have plenty of options in Forte dei Marmi. Hone your swing at one of the town’s golf courses, or play a game of tennis. Or try your hand at sailing or windsurfing from the surrounding beaches.

DAY TRIPS
Your luxury hotel in Forte dei Marmi makes a wonderful base for exploring more of Tuscany. A short drive will take you to Lucca, a Renaissance masterpiece in miniature. Saunter through cobbled streets and explore historic palaces and towering churches. Or walk around the impressive, largely intact city walls and gaze out across the red-tiled rooftops. 

Top Tip from SLH

Dig into the history of Tuscany. Take a private tour of the nearby Cararra quarries – the source of fine Italian marble since Roman times.
