Lido Di Jesolo

Amazing beaches and superb views over Venice Lagoon

The lively resort of Lido di Jesolo was specifically developed to be one of the premier holiday destinations on the Venetian Riviera. Designed to provide all the facilities you'll need to relax and have fun, it offers lots of exciting activities for families and groups of friends to enjoy.

The town's scenic location on the shores of the Venice Lagoon means you'll enjoy superb views over the water and across to picturesque Lido di Jesolo marina. This vibrant resort features over 16 kilometres of sandy beaches with both private areas attached to hotels and pristine public areas suitable for families and children.

Some parts of the beachfront are relatively quiet with a backdrop of shady pine forest, while others are busier. The busiest sections run parallel with the town's long main street. There are restaurants and bars along the beachfront where you can stop off throughout the day for relaxed lunches, snacks and tasty Italian style ice-cream, plus watersports facilities to start your adventures from.

Excellent selection of shopping and eating choices in town

In the centre of Lido di Jesolo there's a good selection of shops and boutiques to explore. There's also a huge market held every Friday in the old quarter of town, with around 200 stalls. You'll find a wide range of items here including antiques and fresh produce as well as street-food stalls where you can sample local specialities such as Venetian-style pizzas.

You'll know you're in Italy as there are street-side cafes, pizzerias, trattorias and intimate restaurants in town and along the beachfront offering traditional Italian cuisine, as well as international options.

Fresh fish and seafood dishes are particularly popular here, so you can expect menus including dishes such as excellent mixed seafood platters, baked sea bass and spaghetti with clams. You can also enjoy delicious local wines to accompany your meals.

Plenty of fun activities for the family and kids

If you're travelling with family there's lots of exciting activities available on holidays to Lido di Jesolo, with plenty to keep you and the kids happy and having fun.
