Lido Tao Beach Club is Taormina's prime destination for relaxing on a beach terrace, enjoying a light lunch, or sipping on some cocktails overlooking the Ionian Sea. Lido Tao has 2 beaches with private areas, a bar, and countless water sports available to book.

By day, you can rent sun loungers on the sand or a 4-person cabana with a table and parasol. The service is great, with staff aiming to make your day as easy as possible so that you’re ready for the night. After enjoying aperitifs on the terrace, sample Sicilian seafood for dinner before heading to the bar with live DJs.

Sky and Sand Club is a beach club on the north Sicilian coast, just under 20 km west of Cefalù. It’s one of Sicily’s best spots for beach parties. If you get there early enough, you’ll be able to top up your tan on one of the sun loungers beforehand.

There are drinks and snacks aplenty throughout the day, and you’ll be able to find a range of light bites like salads, fries and sandwiches. The music is always on point even when there isn’t a party, with playlists created to suit the beach vibe. And the parties are something else – you can dance away under the sunset, right beside the waves, in a Sicilian paradise.
