Puglia is the lucky host to the iconic whitewashed buildings of Masseria San Domenico. Less than a kilometre away from the Adriatic Sea, this five-star hotel is nestled among ancient groves and orchards, set against the fluffy clouds that lounge in the deep blue Mediterranean sky.
A wonderland of foodie delights and golden beaches capped by turquoise waters, Masseria San Domenico is an otherworldly location where tranquil living is embraced and luxury is the rule.
Where the past meets the present, Masseria San Domenico features a restored 15th-century building with a boutique spin. The building is rich in history—allegedly utilised by the Knights of Malta as a lookout point of defence—while the land itself hosts centuries-old olive trees. Modernity has transformed the main building and surrounding architectural structures from a past life into restored elegance and five-star luxury.
The hotel includes direct access to the beach, tennis courts for friendly duels, fitness facilities and an outdoor pool for days spent lounging in the Italian sunshine.
The vaulted ceilings are the first thing guests will notice in the Masseria San Domenico Restaurant. Chandeliers dip graciously from the arched vaults, while the facade pays homage to the building’s origins. Speciality meals on the menu include traditional and beloved cuisine from Puglia. Guests can dine on locally grown products that are seasonally dependent and seafood sourced from the Adriatic's waters. And, of course, the best wines of the region are on offer for wine connoisseurs and enthusiasts.
The spa-thalasso at Masseria San Domenico embraces seawater in its therapeutic practices, also known as ‘thalassotherapy’. Utilised as a source for bodily treatments since antiquity, seawater includes a host of mineral properties and benefits. Thalasso treatments at the spa draw the seawater from an underground stratum, which is then used in treatment baths and pools, as well as scrubs and seaweed wraps.
The spa also offers renowned treatments from abroad. The Ayurvedic massage targets recharging one’s energies and reducing stress in the body, while the Thai massages cater to alleviating muscle tension. Japanese-inspired Shiatsu massages promote physical and mental well-being by applying precise finger pressure to energy pathways throughout the body.
Representing the epitome of Italian luxury, this two-bedroom en-suite villa features a private pool and loungers. A vibrant garden envelopes the villa, assuring privacy, while the patio is the place to be to enjoy the sweetness of Mediterranean air.
Inside, guests will find an idyllic home-away-from-home with a lounge and dining area, awaiting to be filled with locally sourced and Italian-inspired feasts.
