Lignano Sabbiadoro

From Hemingway to nightlife

A long strip of golden beach (as much as 8 km) is the jewel in the crown of Lignano Sabbiadoro, one of Italy’s most renowned seaside resorts. It is well known for its varied entertainment and its summer-long nightlife.

Lignano actually encompasses three spirits: Sabbiadoro, perfect for shopping and nightlife; Pineta, for a quiet holiday surrounded by greenery; and Riviera, a relaxing area with a luxuriant maritime- pine wood. Lignano looks out over the Marano lagoon, an unspoilt area of sandbanks, canals and little islands with the characteristic fisherman’s huts that even Ernest Hemingway fell in love with sixty years ago.

Lignano’s traditional, lively nightlife and its wide range of shops and fashionable boutiques make it a favourite destination for young people and shopaholics. Similarly, its hospitality facilities geared to families, well-organised beach entertainment and its calm sea with shallow waters also make Lignano the perfect family-holiday resort. Children and grown-ups will have lots of fun in the many theme parks with attractions for all tastes.
