At a glance
Almar Jesolo is a five-star Adriatic seafront resort and spa just outside Venice, with 184 ‘Made in Italy’-designed rooms and suites and the Almablu Wellness & Spa.
Opened in 2014, the resort runs directly along the golden-sand beach of Lido di Jesolo, a Venetian coastal town around 45 minutes northeast of the city. The design leans into a contemporary Italian register, with clean lines, soft sand and white tones, and large windows pulling the Adriatic light into nearly every room.
Accommodation runs to 184 rooms and suites across nine categories, from Superior Rooms through to top-floor Loft Suite Aqua with a private roof terrace and panoramic sea views. The Sundeck, Premium, and Prestige Suites add private outdoor space; Family Deluxe rooms cover families.
Dining is led by Mediterra restaurant for traditional Italian cooking, with the River Lounge Bar and Lightblue Bar handling aperitivo and lighter plates. The Almablu Wellness & Spa anchors the wellness offering with treatment menus, an outdoor pool, sauna, and whirlpool, alongside yoga and fitness programmes.

Further information
Dining
Mediterra is the signature restaurant, led by Sicilian executive chef Salvatore Pullara, with a menu that pairs the chef’s southern Italian background with Venetian regional tradition. The wine cellar holds over 200 labels. The LightBlue Bar covers daytime poolside service, with the River Lounge Bar taking over for evening cocktails and after-dinner drinks. Breakfast is served by the pool or in a sun-filled room, and afternoon tea and half-board are also on offer.
Wellness
The Almablu Wellness & Spa covers 2,000 sqm across two floors with sea views throughout. The humid zone leads through a glass tunnel to a 70-metre outdoor pool, partially covered by glass and heated between 28 and 32°C. Upstairs, nine cabins and a private spa handle the 70-plus treatments on the menu, all using the in-house Almablu cosmetic line. A 10-metre-high seafront running track, yoga, and Pilates round out the fitness side.
Location
Almar Jesolo is on Via Dante Alighieri in Lido di Jesolo, a Venetian coastal town in the Veneto region. The resort runs directly along the golden-sand Adriatic beachfront and is a short walk from central Jesolo for shopping and restaurants. Venice is around 45 minutes south by car, with Treviso and the Noventa di Piave Designer Outlet within easy reach. Venice Marco Polo Airport is roughly 40 minutes by car.
Mexico
The Riviera Maya runs south from Cancun along the Caribbean coast, with the resort strip of Playa del Carmen and Tulum giving way to jungle and reef as you move away from the main tourist corridor.

Los Cabos: Adventure Beyond the Resort
Tailor-made HolidayBeneath its resort reputation, Los Cabos holds some of the richest marine life in Mexico and a desert most visitors never see. Los Cabos has built its reputation on resort pools and beachfront cocktails, but the water and the desert surrounding the peninsula hold a different kind of trip entirely, one that queer and trans-focused dive operators in the region have already been running for years.
