Abruzzo stretches across central Italy, bordering the Lazio region and Rome on one side, and the Adriatic on the other. If it’s a beach hotel you’re looking for, you'll need to focus your search on the Adriatic coastline. Long, flat and sandy, this is ideal terrain for bucket-and-spade family holidays, fun beach breaks with friends, romantic sunsets, beach resort luxury, and seaside escapes. Pescara is the largest centre on Abruzzo’s Adriatic coast, a modern town with a historic centre and numerous beaches; Giulianova has history, historic architecture, and plenty of charm; Ortona has a lively maritime atmosphere, as well as great beaches; Francaville al Mare is a popular choice for beach-loving foodies; Martinsicuro is a smaller centre, with a lovely seaside promenade and crystal clear water; and Pineto is known for its natural charm of pine forests and clear waters. Our pick of the best beach hotels in Abruzzo features a property to the south of Pescara and another to the north.
