The Riva Marina Resort, a stunning new modern hotel with an all-inclusive option, is situated on the coast between the renowned Salento region and the charming Valle d'Itria. Just a short walk from the Torre Guaceto nature reserve and marine protected area, the resort is nestled within 18 hectares of a classic Puglian landscape. Here, olive, almond, and carob trees meet crystal-clear inlets and sweeping bays, creating a picturesque backdrop for the resort's Mediterranean-style buildings, which are artfully set amongst dry stone walls and lush vegetation. Guests can enjoy an unforgettable holiday, immersed in the pristine sea and vibrant colors and flavors of Puglia. The resort guarantees elegance, well-being, and recreation. Inland, guests can delve into local traditions and folklore with visits to Ostuni, the White City, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Alberobello with its unique trulli houses, the Castellana Caves, Carovigno Castle, and the baroque architecture of Lecce.
