Life in Santa Margherita Ligure revolves around the harbour — mornings with espresso overlooking the bay, afternoons between beach clubs and shaded terraces, and evenings that begin with aperitivo and end over seafood by the water. Staying at Grand Hotel Miramare places Portofino, Camogli and the Cinque Terre within easy reach, while still returning each evening to one of the Riviera’s most elegant seaside towns.
7 nights in Santa Margherita Ligure combining coastal relaxation with time to explore the Italian Riviera. Includes return flights, private transfers and B&B accommodation at Grand Hotel Miramare. From €2,899 per person.
Santa Margherita Ligure captures the Riviera at its most relaxed and elegant. Palm-lined promenades curve around the bay, fishing boats sit alongside polished yachts and pastel buildings rise above cafés, bakeries and small local shops that give the town its everyday rhythm.
Set above the sea, Grand Hotel Miramare feels deeply connected to the Riviera’s older style of travel. Family-run for generations, the hotel has retained a strong sense of character, with sea-facing terraces, gardens shaded by palms and uninterrupted views across the Ligurian coastline. Mornings begin slowly with espresso overlooking the harbour, afternoons move between the sea and shaded terraces, while evenings are shaped by aperitivos, seafood dinners and coastal walks.

Santa Margherita Ligure works particularly well for those wanting the atmosphere of the Italian Riviera without the constant movement of a multi-stop itinerary. The town itself has enough life and character to anchor the week, while the surrounding coastline remains easily accessible for slower day trips and lunches along the sea. Grand Hotel Miramare fits naturally into that pace — classic, understated and positioned perfectly above the bay.
