A Relaxing Luxury Vacation in Forte dei Marmi, Italy

Beach Clubs in Forte dei Marmi

Set on the shores of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the Mediterranean between Pisa and La Spezia, you'll want to spend your afternoons at one of the many exclusive beach clubs. You'll want to book in advance as spots get scooped up quickly by regulars.

Shopping in Forte dei Marmi

This is a must in Forte dei Marmi for me. All the big designer stores are there like Louis Vuitton and Celine. You will also find sweet children's shops and the most darling store windows to adore.

The famous Forte dei Marmi market features high-quality Italian goods and is open every Wednesday all year long.

Antiques and Farmer's Markets are also in the area on alternating Saturdays and Sundays throughout the year.

Activities in Forte dei Marmi

Take a walk along the pier and admire the pristine beaches and clubs lining the shore.

Rent a bike - This is a must to see the beautiful streets and feel the relaxing summer breeze. There is a bike path that runs along the seaside boulevard for just this type of thing so don't be afraid if it's been a while.

Day Trips from Forte dei Marmi
