LHP • Hotel Santa Margherita Palace & SPA in Santa Margherita Ligure, open JuneNovember.

Built in the early 1900s as a grand seaside residence, Hotel Santa Margherita Palace & SPA was meticulously restored to preserve its Belle Époque architecture while introducing modern luxury amenities.

This clifftop property overlooks the Ligurian coast with direct beach access, offering couples an authentic Italian Riviera backdrop steeped in over a century of history.

The restoration maintained original marble details, frescoed ceilings, and period furnishings alongside contemporary spa facilities and conference spaces.

BEST HOTEL EVER. Premium rooms 100% worth it. Unlimited use of spa services plus access to gym. On top of that, premium rooms had build in jacuzzi, which I broke (mb) but the staff were unreal in getting it fixed with their quick service. 5 minute walk to the beach, also has links to a great seafood restaurant which was unreal too. Love this joint, love this town
