The jacuzzi and the pool with sun loungers

Pool and jacuzzi

A private space designed for enjoying every moment of the day. The pool and jacuzzi belong exclusively to AZURE’s guests, creating the perfect setting to relax from morning until night.

Comfortable sun loungers, umbrellas and large cushions give you all the space you need to unwind, and in the evening the lighting turns the pool into a calm setting by the sea.

The beach is directly opposite, so every day you can choose between a dip in the sea and a moment of relaxation in your own private space.

The dining table on the covered terrace, overlooking the pool

Terrace and BBQ

The covered terrace is one of the spaces where a stay at AZURE becomes a real experience. The large dining table for six sits next to the pool, while the comfortable lounge area invites relaxed moments throughout the day.

The fully equipped gas grill lets you enjoy a meal with your company, while the outdoor area is beautifully lit as the sun goes down.

Above the dining table there is a private sound system, available exclusively to guests, so you can create your own musical atmosphere from the first drink to the last dinner.
