The Beach Club Surrounded by waves, girded in an embrace that smells of wind and sea, the hours spent on the deck-chairs and recliners of the Excelsior Palace Beach Club flit idly by, far removed from any stress. At guests’ disposal also roomy cabanas, bar service, and a panoramic pool that seems suspended above the crystalline depths of the Gulf of Tigullio.

The Fitness Room In the early morning and late afternoon, gentle sea breezes cool the air and you can do your dreaming on the saddle of an exercise bike or running on a treadmill. When the view leaves you breathless a workout seems to take less effort, making it easier to get back into shape.

The Health Club For lovers of the water at all hours of the day, for those who can’t do without a swim even in wintertime, or those who simply want to take part in aquagym courses, the heated indoor swimming pool is a must. A sauna and a Turkish bath round out the fitness programme.
