Full accommodation information
Hotel information
White-washed walls and world-class facilities make this place a fantastic choice for a luxury Italian holiday.
There is an array of accommodation to choose from here, starting with elegantly appointed guestrooms in La Corte; the resort's main building.
Il Borgo is set out like a traditional 'Apulian Village', with suites and casettas ('little houses') offering up to two bedrooms and ample living space. In Le Ville, an enclave of 28 three and four-bedroom private villas, complete the picture.
With a shallow children's pool and the services of the fantastic Trullalleri Kids Club, Marinai Kids Club and Tarantari Kids Club, this Puglia resort offers family-friendly luxury. Amongst the hotel's array of restaurants children have their own Da Pucetta, with a healthy, child-friendly menu and no adult diners!
Across the board, restaurants offer mouth-watering fare. There are five to choose from, including wood-fired pizzas at Trattoria Mia Cucina and fine Apulian dining at the Michelin star Due Camini. If you're inspired you can take classes at the resort's cookery school!
The 2,800 square metre Vair Spa at Borgo Egnazia is a modern version of a Roman bathhouse, complete with hot and cold rooms, scrub area and sauna. Treatments here are a truly special indulgence.
There is plenty to do with two beach clubs, a gym, horse riding, grass tennis courts and the 18 hole championship San Domenico Golf Club. There is also the opportunity to go back to school and hone your Italian cookery skills.
Not forgetting, of course, the stunning beach with views of the Adriatic Sea.

The menu changes with the seasons and the best of the market provisions. Serene and characterful, this restaurant welcomes children all year, apart from 15 June – 15 September.
Il Cortile
Il Cortile offers buffets and barbeques, allowing you to make the most of the borgo’s sprawling architecture and outdoor spaces. Spill into the garden area with little ones.
Cala Masciola
This fish restaurant is set on the private beach, looking out at the beautiful, gleaming blue sea. This is the perfect retreat for a freshly grilled fish and a glass of cool white wine at lunch time – alternatively, enjoy vibrant salads and plenty of homemade pasta.
Bar del Portico, Capanno and L’Angoletto
The hotel also offers three bars - Bar del Portico, Capanno and L’Angoletto. There’s a perfect spot for a drink to suit your mood, whatever time of day!
Activities & Entertainment
The Borgo Egnazia has activities to suit all tastes.
Swimming
The Borgo offers water aplenty. As well as private pools in many of the room options, the fitness centre offers an indoor pool, and three outdoor pools are scattered about the borgo (one with a shallow kids’ section). The pools also host individual and group classes, to provide fitness options. The two private beaches are served with shuttle buses - Cala Masciola is a local pebbled beach, whilst La Fonte is the perfect sandy beach for families. Both provide crystal clear waters in which to cool yourself and learn to be at one with Southern Italian waters.
Kids
The fantastic Trullalleri Kids Club (3-7 years), Marinai Kids Club (8-12 years) and Tarantari Kids Club (13-16 years) provide the ideal experience for your kids to create the memories of a lifetime. Family-friendly luxury is the name of the game here, with plenty of hotel amenities perfectly suited to people of all ages. As well as dining with you, kids have the option of dining at Da Pucetta – offering a healthy but child-friendly menu, this whole restaurant is kids only – no grown-ups allowed!
