Located on a private island, this welcome oasis is a great choice for those not wanting to be in the centre of things.
This island resort is a 20-minute water transfer away from the main sites of the city - equidistant between Venice and the Lido.
By plane: London to Venice takes 2 hours, after which an airport boat takes 1 hour 20 minutes to St Mark's Square and the hotel's shuttle service to the hotel takes 20 minutes. Book flights to Venice.
Originally a sanatorium, the hotel's interiors remain minimalist, white and clean. There are a mix of styles, for example, the fine dining restaurant is all brickwork, glass and steel. Understated luxury is the overall vibe.
Facilities range from art exhibitions and the cookery school (where you can learn make pasta and gnocchi), to boutiques and a coffee shop. There's an outdoor rooftop pool and large spa complex, with hydrotherapy pool, thermal suite and treatment rooms.
