Itinerary
1
JW Venice Spa
We’ll stop at this beautiful island, once a vast warehouse for construction materials and now transformed into an elegant five-star hotel. You’ll have the chance to head up to its stunning rooftop bar, enjoy a drink, and take in one of the most breathtaking panoramic views of the Venetian Lagoon and the historic skyline of Venice.
45 minutes
2
Isola Maledetta di Poveglia
We’ll also stop at Poveglia Island, one of the most mysterious and haunting islands of the Venetian Lagoon. Once used as a quarantine station and later as a hospital, the island carries a dark and complex history that still lingers among its abandoned buildings and overgrown paths. You’ll have about half an hour to explore the island on foot, soaking in its eerie atmosphere and discovering a side of Venice that few visitors ever experience—silent, unsettling, and completely off the beaten track.
30 minutes
3
Malamocco
We’ll then cruise past Malamocco, a tiny and timeless village on Lido di Venezia. Once the original seat of Venice’s government in the early Middle Ages, Malamocco is now one of the quietest and most authentic corners of the lagoon. As we glide by, you’ll see pastel-colored houses, small fishing boats, and narrow canals where daily life still moves at a slow, local pace. It’s a peaceful glimpse into a Venice that feels untouched by tourism—simple, elegant, and wonderfully real.
4
Hotel Excelsior Venice Lido Resort
We’ll cruise past the iconic Hotel Excelsior Venice Lido Resort, a symbol of timeless glamour and the legendary home of the Venice Film Festival. With its distinctive Moorish architecture and private beach, the Excelsior has welcomed movie stars, directors, and artists from all over the world for decades.
From here, we’ll slip into the beautiful and quiet canals of Lido di Venezia, far from the crowds and traffic of the historic center. Surrounded by elegant villas, peaceful waterways, and everyday local life, this relaxing stretch of the journey offers a final, serene perspective on the lagoon—before we gently head back toward Venice.
