Lido di Jesolo Holidays

Attracting flocks of visitors every year, this seaside town's one of the most popular chill-out holiday locations in Italy. Perched on the edge of the Venice Lagoon, it boasts high-end hotels and tall apartments by the waterfront, a glimmering marina and piazzas that light up after dark.

Whatever you’re looking for in a beach, these 15 kilometres of golden sand are sure to provide. The eastern section hosts activities like beach rugby and sandcastle-building competitions. If you’re searching for a slower pace, relax on a sunlounger on the outlying sands of La Pineta.

Scream your way down the Spacemakers – one of the world’s tallest waterslides – at Aqualandia. There's also the giant Ferris wheel and Skyflyer at the New Jesolandia fairground. Next door, follow in the tracks of Formula 1 stars like Michael Schumacher by racing on the Pista Azzurra go-kart track.

Lido di Jesolo's just a 90-minute boat ride from Venice, so the floating city can be done in a day. This magical network of canals is packed with fairy tale images like gondoliers and sinking palaces. Plus, you’ll be able to enjoy cicchetti – tasty Venetian tapas – in the many bars around the main piazza.
