A boho-chic beach club on the sand at Pilone, inside the Coastal Dunes Park: a garden of colour with sunbeds, a healthy bar and seaside street food, famous for its roasted-octopus-and-burrata sandwich. At sunset the beach comes alive with aperitivo hour and DJ sets.
Our tip: Arrive by 11am, especially on Sundays: the car park fills up fast. Book your sunbeds on WhatsApp, and don't miss the octopus sandwich — the dish reviewers mention most.
White sunbeds set in Mediterranean scrub on a Blue Flag beach along Ostuni's northern coast: a beach club with a seafood restaurant by day, a sunset lounge bar with DJ sets, then the club of the Ostuni night.
Our tip: In high season, book sunbeds and a table a few days ahead; the best moment is from 6pm onwards, when the aperitivo with DJ set kicks off against the sunset.
A boho-chic garden steps from Pilone beach, where seafood cooking — tuna tartare, crudo and well-made pasta dishes — meets fire shows, jugglers and DJ sets that stretch dinner deep into the night. The mood recalls Bali; the flavours stay firmly Apulian.
Our tip: Book a few days ahead and arrive a little before sunset: parking is tricky in high season and the show begins with dinner.
On the sands of Torre Canne, the beach club where fusion sushi is served straight to your sunbed and DJ sets carry the sunset deep into the night. Sea and slow hours by day, one of the coast's liveliest music stages after dark.
Our tip: Book your sunbeds a few days ahead on WhatsApp — especially the front row and canopy beds, which go fast. Once there, order the sushi straight to your sunbed: it is the house ritual.
A trendy beach club with stunning views over the dunes on Ostuni's southern coast: seafood cuisine, cocktails and reserved sunbeds.
Our tip: Sunbeds must be booked: just ask us and we'll help you reserve them.
On the white sand of Torre Lapillo, among the dunes of the Ionian coast, a polished beach club with well-spaced wooden parasols, seafood dining and sunset cocktails. You come for the shallow, crystal-clear water — and stay for an aperitivo with your feet in the sand.
Our tip: It's on the far side of Salento (about an hour's drive): perfect paired with a day on the Ionian coast. Book sunbeds a few days ahead and arrive by 11am, the check-in cut-off.
