LUXURY TRAVEL DESTINATION
NEWPORT TRAVEL GUIDE
Where the Alps meet the sea and pine trees line golden shores, Forte dei Marmi embodies the quiet elegance of the Tuscan coast. Once a summer refuge for poets, nobility and Milanese tastemakers, this seaside town still whispers of old-world glamour. Ride bikes past shuttered villas, savour long lunches under striped parasols, and let la dolce vita unfold.
REFINED ESCAPE
Often called the Hamptons of Italy, Forte dei Marmi has long been the summer retreat of choice for Milanese elites and well-travelled Europeans. With marble-paved sidewalks, pastel beach clubs and tree-lined streets dotted with designer boutiques, the town feels like a Slim Aarons photoshoot come to life.
EFFORTLESS RIDES
In Forte dei Marmi, cycling isn’t just transport — it’s a way of life. Locals and visitors alike glide past marble sidewalks and pine-lined avenues on elegant city bikes, often in soft pastels or vintage styles. With flat terrain and dedicated bike paths, two wheels are the town’s chicest accessory — perfect for morning coffee runs, boutique stops or breezy rides to the beach.
BY THE SHORE
Nowhere is Forte dei Marmi’s signature elegance more visible than along its beachfront. A seamless row of private beach clubs stretches across the shore, each one a carefully curated blend of striped parasols, tailored cabanas and quiet glamour. From sunrise swims to sunset spritzes, life here unfolds under the rhythm of the Riviera — refined, relaxed, and always by the sea.
