From here the journey starts
It is said that some places are not merely about geography, but something to be found in our own soul, before searching for them on a map.
"Salento" is one of those places: it's a crossroads of sunny dreams, new winds and blue depths.
It's exactly in this place that you will finally find yourself...and discover the unique work of art you really are.
It's right here, in Salento, that the journey begins.
Lido Marini
Lido Marini, situated between Torre Pali (Marina di Salve) and Torre Mozza (Marina di Ugento), is a seaside resort facing a dreamy sea, awarded the international recognition of "Bandiera Blu" in 2022 - and every year before.
Your eyes and your heart will always hold unforgettable memories of this precious, colourful and privileged spot of peace on the iridescent blue expanse of the Ionian Sea.
Embedded between the beaches called “The Maldives of Salento”, Lido Marini is one of those Wonders: a long, enchanted stretch of fine sand, nestled in Capo di Leuca, a white mantle kissed by a clear and blue sea, whose shallow waters were the scene of ancient shipwrecks.
Its calm nature makes it the perfect place to land and to just stop...here, you can get back to "tasting time"; here, time becomes your goal.
Here, you can have it all. You get to choose to drop anchor and rest, as well as enjoy the magical experience of the “Morso della Taranta”, meaning the joy, the desire to feel free, to dance, to walk and savour all the flavours that this red earth has to offer.
