The 4 Best Equipped Beaches in Puglia
Lido Cala Diavolo
Monopoli
Through a blue door overlooking the sea, you can immerse yourself in the unspoiled nature that surrounds this private cove. Lido Cala Diavolo is the perfect synthesis of beautiful landscape and convenient services.
The owners combine their experience in the restaurant and hospitality sector with the values of eco-friendly tourism and warm hospitality. At Cala Diavolo, you don't need to move around: you'll find everything your heart (and your stomach) desires right at the lido's restaurant.
The menu features not only Mediterranean cuisine with vegetables directly from their orchard, but also contemporary alternatives like Poke, Sushi, and Club Sandwiches. As if that weren't enough, Cala del Diavolo also boasts a large, crystal-clear swimming pool with a breathtaking view!
Lido Coccaro Beach
Savelletri
Lido Coccaro Beach, located in the small village of Savelletri, is a true 5-star beach within a super-private bay.
It features a SPA for a gentle massage to melt away any resistance your body might have to relaxation; there are also yoga sessions, a boutique, and a miniclub.
The luxury doesn't end there: a refined fish and sushi restaurant is ready to satisfy the most demanding palates. A must-try is the "Gran crudo," a selection of fresh raw seafood, and the grilled catch of the day. Want to stop by the oyster bar? You won't regret it!
The setting couldn't be more captivating: not only will you find wonderful fine sand, but in Savelletri you can even discover archaeological treasures.
Lido Le Palme Beach
Capitolo, Monopoli
Lido Le Palme Beach, an oasis of style and sophistication. Here, the crystal-clear sea is so transparent it reveals all the richness of marine life, while the long stretches of fine sand have earned it both the international Blue Flag award and a special commendation from Legambiente, a leading Italian environmental association.
Picture this: white linen curtains, sculptural sofas, soft cushions, hemp rugs, and antique lanterns. This location is perfect for a party atmosphere and fun!
Private Cabanas, Gazebos for maximum privacy, and oversize sunbeds are all available.
The lido presents a premier dining experience, complete with a fish and gourmet pizza restaurant, a sophisticated cocktail bar, and an exclusive Club Lounge area.
Don't miss the sea-view terrace with its lounge bar, but the ultimate luxury, in our opinion, is having aperitifs served directly to your sunbed on the beach.
Lido Bambù
Capitolo, Monopoli
This is the do-it-all Beach: great food, sports, and live music. You don't have to worry about a thing, as the lido provides soft beach towels for your use. The excellent drinks make for a memorable sunset aperitif.
Chef Fulvio Pierangelini and his team have created dishes from authentic Italian and Apulian cuisine, from fresh fish to local products rich in flavor both from the land and the sea. Worried about your diet? No problem—you can also find light snacks and original, beautiful salads.
The restaurant features a spacious outdoor area under the refreshing shade of a pergola, with a dreamy sea view.
Beach Club: Order your cocktail comfortably from your sunbed and enjoy the privacy of your spot while indulging in a light snack or a refreshing drink. Take a dip in the turquoise sea, and after a pleasant swim, take advantage of a warm, revitalizing shower.

The 11 Best Natural Beaches in Puglia
Marina di Pescoluse, Salve in Salento, Ionian Sea
Known as the "Maldives of Salento," these beaches live up to their nickname. They offer very fine white sand, shallow waters perfect for families, and wonderfully crystalline waters, ideal for a refreshing swim.Punta Prosciutto, Porto Cesareo
Located in the Palude del Conte Reserve, this beach stretches for several kilometers with white sand and dune vegetation. Thanks to the shallow seabed, it is an ideal spot for families with children. For the more active, besides being a great place for snorkeling, it's also possible to experience horseback riding.Torre dell’Orso, Melendugno
This wonderful beach of fine sand surrounded by cliffs has been awarded the Blue Flag for its crystal-clear sea. It extends for about 800 meters and is framed by beautiful dunes and a pine forest. The highlight is the landscape: in the sea you can find two spectacular sea stacks called the "Due Sorelle" (The Two Sisters).Lama Monachile, Polignano a Mare
Detta anche Cala Porto, non è propriamente una spiaggia naturale in quanto incastonata nella scogliera su cui spunta il borgo di Polignano, a picco sul mare. Tuttavia riteniamo che meriti un posto in questa lista grazie alle tante piccole grotte marine che si possono esplorare nuotando. Questa spiaggia è così iconica da essere una delle più fotografate!
Also known as Cala Porto, this isn't strictly a natural beach as it is set within the cliffs where the town of Polignano stands, perched directly above the sea. However, we believe it deserves a spot on this list thanks to the many small sea caves that can be explored by swimming. This beach is so iconic it is one of the most photographed in the area!
Spiaggia di Porto Selvaggio
Located within the nature reserve between Gallipoli and Porto Cesareo, you'll reach it via charming forest paths. It is a true paradise: the bay, nestled between high cliffs and cool pine forests, has a beach of smooth pebbles, and its clear, shallow waters offer a unique experience for those who love swimming in the sea.Campomarino, Maruggio
Its clear beaches have earned it numerous accolades, including "most beautiful beach in the world" from Vanity Fair. The sea has so many shades of blue and turquoise that it has been nicknamed the "sea of seven colors."Cala Tre Buchi, Monopoli
A hidden gem in the vicinity of Monopoli. This cove, with a very small beach interrupted by rocks, is a true treasure for those seeking authenticity. Not very easy to reach, its location makes it even more pristine and natural.Castro Marina
This stretch of coast is defined by its breathtaking shoreline, dotted with caves and coves of an intense blue. The cliffs are low and easy to reach from the sea in many spots, while the village, perched high on the promontory, offers a historic center filled with stunning viewpoints.Torre Guaceto, Carovigno
A protected natural reserve that extends for about 14 kilometers, it is listed as a Specially Protected Area of the Mediterranean for biodiversity conservation. Here, a mix of rocky coasts and sandy beaches creates a varied and fascinating landscape. Remember to pay attention to the signs to navigate the different areas and fully enjoy the pristine nature while respecting its rules.
Grotta della Poesia, Melendugno
It is said that this is one of the most beautiful natural pools in the world. Grotta della Poesia is a natural basin formed by the collapse of a karst cave roof. The result is a fascinating circular opening that reveals clear, turquoise waters below. A local legend says that Grotta della Poesia is named after a beautiful princess who used to bathe there, becoming the muse for many poets.Spiaggia Quarto di Monte, Ostuni
This beach of golden sand with rocky sections extends for about 800 meters and offers natural shelter for various marine species. The view is spectacular, with white cliffs plunging into the turquoise water. Access to the beach is through an area with a bar and restaurant that is also open in the evening.
