Relaxing retreat on the Venice Lido

Facing across the Lagoon of Venice towards the main city itself, this Art Nouveau villa sits on an island only a short ride on a vaporetto from the bustle of the Piazza San Marco. Being on an island has its advantages – gorgeous beaches of golden sand are only a short stroll away, while the unspoiled Alberoni Nature Reserve is a must if you love the outdoors.

You can expect to dine well at Villa Mabapa, starting with a breakfast buffet of local delicacies and eggs cooked to order. In the evening, the restaurant serves Venetian classics in a candlelit dining room or out on the garden terrace, with views of the twinkling city lights across the water. Fancy a nightcap? Treat yourself to a spritz from the garden bar as the sun goes down.

Prepare to be charmed by the rooms, which are decorated in an unmistakably Venetian style. They’re all kitted out with modern amenities too, like air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, television and tea and coffee making facilities.

Find out more about Lido

Lido, in the Floating City of Venice, is a narrow, 11-kilometre-long island in the Venetian Lagoon, just south of the city’s historic centre. Once an important Italian military island forming part of the city’s defence, it’s now Venice’s hottest beach hangout. There’s a chilled-out, relaxed seaside vibe here. It’s Venice... but different! 

While the city’s canals charm you across the lagoon, the Lido has a different vibe. Among the residential streets and sounds of passing vehicles, there’s a distinct atmosphere that’s a world apart from the car-free tourist centre.  

In the off-season, the Lido settles into a comfortable rhythm of everyday life. You could almost forget you’re just moments away from one of the world’s most popular holiday destinations. But as summer arrives in Venice, Lido hotels open for the season, and it transforms into the Veneto region’s top seaside retreat. 

Despite the laid-back beachy feel, the Lido is just minutes from all the action. In fact, it takes just five on the water bus – the Vaporetto – to get to Venice’s historic centre. Stay on the boat a little longer, and you’ll enjoy a tour of the Grand Canal as it snakes its way through the Venetian islands.
