Tuscan Archipelago: the sea at Riva del Sole Resort & Spa

A resort in the heart of the Tuscan Archipelago, framed by a horizon that embraces Elba, Giglio, Giannutri, and the other Tuscan islands known as the “seven pearls”.

Castiglione della Pescaia, home to Riva del Sole Resort & Spa, is surrounded by the Tyrrhenian "seven pearls," offering both adventure and relax in a single holiday. But why recognise our resort as the ideal landing point for exploring these wonders?
The Tuscan Archipelago consists of seven main islands: Elba, Giglio, Capraia, Montecristo, Pianosa, Giannutri, and Gorgona; legendarily described as gems (or pearls) fallen from the necklace of the goddess Venus. These islands and their waters have been protected by the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, the largest marine park in Europe, safeguarding over 56.000 hectares of sea and 17.000 hectars of land with pristine biodiversity.

Staying at Riva del Sole Resort & Spa means having this heritage within reach. Daily boat trips from Castiglione della Pescaia, allowing you to easily reach Elba, famous for its immaculate beaches and Napoleonic history, or Giglio, with its turquoise waters perfect for snorkeling. Each island tells a different story: from the wild cliffs of Capraia to the untouched reserves of Montecristo, which inspired Dumas's famous novel.

Returning in the evening to the quiet of our unique Maremma pinewoods, after time spent among picturesque villages and hidden coves, completes the travel experience. You can enjoy the sunset on our private beach with an uninterrupted view of the horizon, perhaps accompanied by artisanal gelato from our Bar Riva or while waiting for a romantic dinner at the Al Fresco Restaurant.

Riva del Sole Resort & Spa is not just a destination, but a strategic base that combines the adventure of discovery with the luxury of uncompromising comfort.
