Hotel Rivage Taormina

Hotel highlights

• Rivage Beach Club which offers everything you need for a fab beach day, even a relaxation area for an afternoon siesta and a baby kitchen so the little 'uns can enjoy some grub

• Italian-style restaurants - we mean, what else would there be in Italy? Get ready to sample some top-tier dishes

• Charming, beach-themed rooms which we obvs love

Location

• Right on the beach - our fave place. This is on the pebbly side, but hey-ho at least there won't be sand in any annoying places!

• 1 hour and 20 minutes drive from Catania Airport

• A speedy 15-minute bus ride to the city of Taormina - you've never seen sea views like it, there's also plenty of charming shops, Italian restaurants (delish) and cute little aperitivo bars

Rooms

• These rooms are giving all the beachy vibes, and we are so here for it. Pastel blues, gold, and beige to represent the sand, and beach-style artwork in case you didn't get the beachy theme straight away. This place is in a proper secluded area too, so start the morning with a cuppa tea, on the balcony with the sounds of the sea - immaculate vibes!

Food & Drink

• La Piscina Lobby Bar - a spacious outdoor terrace where you can sip on a morning coffee (or morning Aperol, we won't judge) and start soaking up the sun, this spot is also great for a pre-dinner vino or beer

• Il Guardino - now brekkie is the most important meal of the day. So this place goes all out for it, with fresh pastries, cake (yeah, for breakfast, we're in heaven), fresh fruit, eggs, cheese and meats (yum). By night it turns into a tasty a la carte restaurant serving... you can probably guess. Italian food!

• La Terrazza Restaurant - let us set the scene, the sun is setting, you've got 10/10 sea views, and you're tucking into some delish Italian food, maybe a cheeky glass of vino. You should be sold, we definitely are.

• Beach Bar - you can't have a beach day without a bev in hand, it has to be done. We'd obvs recommend an Aperol Spritz, when in Italy right? Plus, one needs to be featured on your Insta stories.

Sports & Entertainment

• Swimming Pool - if the beach ain't your jam, have a dunk in the swimming pool which is also right next to the beach, so you won't be missing out on any of those gorge sea views

• Rivage Beach Club - which is jam-packed, if all of the facilities can't convince you to spend every day here, then I don't know what will.

  • Wellness treatments right on the beach, can't think of anything more relaxing than a massage whilst listening to the waves... dreamy!

  • Baby Kitchen with a cooker, microwave, dishes and a bottle warmer

  • Relaxation area which has 3 pm snooze written all over it

  • Shops in case you've forgotten any of your beach essentials, this place has you covered

  • Showers for a quick refresh and lockers to store your valuables
