  • Luxurious Lido pad: The grand dame of the legendary Venice Lido, the five-star Hotel Excelsior Venice Lido Resort is as iconic as the silky sands it calls home. Rising in a glittering beachfront palace characterised by breathtaking Moorish architecture, this spectacular beach retreat has been the preferred haunt of film stars, royalty and the global élite since it opened its doors in 1908. Today, the resort continues to be a fixture on the international luxury hotel scene, sporting jaw-dropping interiors, discreet five-star service, and with an exclusive shuttle service to whisk you to and from the city centre.

  • Five-star beach bliss: Lapped by the glistening waters of the Adriatic, the resort’s stunning private beach is not to be missed. A wide sandy stretch strewn with secluded capanne, it’s the most coveted spot in the whole Lido, and the perfect place to spend long lazy days soaking up the sun. Elsewhere, you’ll find a tranquil outdoor pool nestled amid lush greenery and offering sweeping sea views, while the resort’s fully-equipped gym and water sports offerings will have you staying active in style.

  • Eclectic eats: Oozing barefoot elegance from the golden shores of the Lido, the airy Elimar Beach Bar & Restaurant is a must for indulgent breakfasts and laid-back lunches in an idyllic setting. The casual Pool Bar is on-hand for light bites and cooling cocktails throughout the day, and come evening, dine under Murano chandeliers or al fresco at the swanky Adriatico Terrace. The crown jewel? The resort’s iconic Blue Bar, serving top-notch drinks and mouthwatering cuisine in a glamorous cinema-inspired setting.

Lungomare Guglielmo Marconi, 41, 30126 Lido VE, Italy

Having hosted the first Venice Film Festival in 1932 and an illustrious guest list including Winston Churchill, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, George Clooney and many more, your palatial pad is a landmark in itself, and continues to be a beloved retreat for celebrity visitors when the city’s cinema craze reaches fever-pitch. Spend your time drifting between the lavish reception rooms and social spaces of your historic abode, before whiling away the hours with long beach walks or perhaps some glamorous water sports.

The resort is on-hand to arrange unforgettable experiences like shopping trips and helicopter rides over city and Lagoon, while the handy shuttle service to the city centre places Venice’s cultural and cosmopolitan highlights right at your fingertips. Start in St Mark’s Square with its spectacular Basilica and lavish Doge’s Palace, and stick around the area to see landmark museums and refuel at the legendary Caffè Florian. Hop into a gondola to glide past endless fairytale palaces, soaring churches and the famous Rialto Bridge, and top it all off with world-class art at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, a glass-blowing demonstration on the island of Murano, and a generous dose of mouthwatering Venetian tapas known as cicchetti.
