Italian barefoot luxury at the Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Jesolo
Italy's coastal resort of Jesolo finds itself on many travellers' wish lists. And rightly so: it has an events calendar brimming with culture, as well as theme parks and family attractions. It's also a brilliant base from which to explore the art cities of Padua, Treviso, Vicenza and Verona. At its famous beachfront resort, Lido di Jesolo, you can enjoy bucket-and-spade days and cooling cocktails, with toes in the sand. Then, when it's time for some culture, you're just a short distance from Venice and the Unesco-listed North Lagoon.
The cherry on top of Jesolo's cake is the wonderful pick of hotels you'll find here. One of its finest is the Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Jesolo, carefully selected by British Airways Holidays for its five-star quality. With exceptional Mediterranean cuisine, a private sandy beach and easy access to Venice airport – to which British Airways flies direct from the UK – this beachfront paradise is hard to beat.

So, what's in store for you at this stylish hotel? For a start, it offers four fantastic outdoor swimming pools where attentive staff will bring you creatively prepared drinks. This top-notch service extends to the loungers and cabana beds that dot the hotel's private section of beach, one of Europe's longest stretches of sand.
The hotel itself has been carefully considered to suit both couples and families. Its uplifting rooms come in duck-egg blues with sherbet-yellow accents, with spacious balconies delivering park or sea views. Some rooms are suited to families with their comfy sofa beds, and you'll be taking design notes when you see their gorgeous bathrooms. Many of its wide-ranging suites also come with a kitchen and spacious seating area to make larger groups feel right at home. Crisp white sheets, air con, a mini bar and guest beach bags tick the box for creature comforts. Two sixth-floor penthouses deliver the ultimate luxury with their panoramic terraces and capacious living spaces.
Relaxing, and finding things to do, comes easy here for guests. Families are kept busy with a dedicated children's pool and the hotel's family-focused facilities include an indoor soft play area, dedicated kids' club, plus a varied programme of games, entertainment and workshops which span face painting, art sessions, origami sessions and mini discos. There are also plenty of children's menu options across the hotel's restaurants, keeping mini diners – and their parents – happy.
On the topic of dining, Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Jesolo stands out for its authentic cuisine. New for 2025 is the highly anticipated Puro Cucina Autentica, an à la carte restaurant open to both staying guests and external visitors. With two carefully considered menus signed by the Michelin-starred chef Theodor Falser and Ciro Salatiello, and a concept that celebrates authentic Mediterranean cuisine, guests can expect a memorable gastronomical experience. Post-dinner, the hotel's outdoor Lounge Bar is a lovely spot to enjoy an aperitif, with Friday night live music bringing a convivial vibe.
Since you're here to enjoy la dolce vita, make time to use the hotel's spa and wellness facilities at the 2,500 sq m Acquapura Blue Horizon Spa. Its Hawaiian-inspired 'Lomi Lomi' treatments are designed to soothe the tightest muscles and many treatments use natural, maritime essences to soothe the skin. The facilities here include a Finnish sauna, ice bath, aroma steam bath and large sauna commanding Adriatic Sea views. Its focal point is an indoor-outdoor pool. You can swim from one to the other via vast glass doors. There's a Technogym area open until late and a yoga room where you can practice your sun salutations.
With its beach setting, five-star facilities and delectable Italian cuisine, we're sure you'll agree the Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Jesolo is simply 'bellissimo'.
