Set in one of the most beautiful panoramic locations in all of Puglia, on the eastern stretch of the Salento coast, just a short walk from the ancient and charming town of Castro, stands the Marenea Suite Hotel—the ideal place to spend a vacation surrounded by nature and exclusivity, sea and sun, history and tradition. Surrounded by olive trees and terraced dry-stone walls and nestled in the woods of the Marina di Marittima Nature Park, the Marenea offers, from the terraces of its suites, the swimming pools, and the restaurant, a splendid view of the sea along a coastline characterized by a succession of coves and high cliffs rising directly from the deep-blue water. In the area surrounding the hotel, don’t miss visits to the many castles, museums, eco-museums, historic wineries and weaving mills, ancient hamlets, cave villages, and botanical gardens that enrich this fascinating and untamed southeastern coast of Salento.
"La Terrazza sul mare" and "Il Borgo," outdoor dining spots in the Pajara area, are the exclusive restaurants at the Marenea Suite Hotel, where you can enjoy dishes prepared by our chef. The chef’s dishes pay homage to the Salento region, a land rich in the aromas and flavors that come from both the land and the sea.
The Ficò Beach Club is located about 300 meters from the hotel and is available by reservation. Upon request, guests will be taken to the beach club free of charge in the hotel’s golf cart.
A small, cozy wellness center featuring a Jacuzzi, a sensory shower, a relaxation area, and a couples’ massage room. Outside, there’s a gazebo nestled among the olive trees where you can be pampered with a massage while surrounded by nature and silence—an experience where time stands still, allowing you to enjoy every beautiful aspect of your vacation.
To ensure a stay filled with unforgettable and personalized experiences, we offer our guests cooking classes with our chefs to learn the secrets of traditional cuisine, horseback riding or hiking to savor the pleasures of a slower pace of life, and much more. For fitness and cycling enthusiasts, we offer a fitness trail through the woods, as well as bicycles and services specifically designed for cycling enthusiasts.
An unforgettable stay for your four-legged friends, too, at the Marenea Suite Hotel, where small dogs are welcome in our rooms—which are equipped with every comfort for your travel companions—and where you’ll find a comfortable bed and bowls for food and water. Please let us know you’ll be bringing your dog when you make your reservation, and we’ll be delighted to give your four-legged friend the warmest welcome. Small dogs (weighing no more than 10 kg) are allowed in select rooms upon request at the time of booking, for an additional fee. Food is not provided. No other pets are allowed.
