Welcome in Lignano Sabbiadoro

Staying at Villa Odina means having Lignano Sabbiadoro right on your doorstep: the beach, the town centre and plenty of things to see and do are all within easy reach.

Set on a peninsula between the Adriatic Sea, the River Tagliamento and the Marano Lagoon, Lignano Sabbiadoro combines a long sandy coastline with pine forests, nature, entertainment and lively pedestrian areas.

The resort offers more than 8 kilometres of fine golden sand, overlooking a sea that has been awarded the Blue Flag since 1990.

Lignano also has a special connection with Ernest Hemingway, who visited the area on several occasions and famously referred to this part of the Friulian coast as the “Italian Florida”.

Three areas, three different sides of Lignano

Lignano is divided into three main areas – Sabbiadoro, Pineta and Riviera – each with its own character and all within easy reach of Villa Odina.

Lignano Sabbiadoro

This is where Villa Odina is located and where you’ll find the liveliest and most central part of the resort.

The pedestrian area is lined with shops, restaurants, cafés and bars, while the beach and seafront are always just a short walk away.

One of Sabbiadoro’s best-known landmarks is the Terrazza a Mare, with its distinctive shape extending out over the Adriatic.

Lignano Pineta

Surrounded by greenery, Lignano Pineta is instantly recognisable for its distinctive spiral-shaped urban plan, designed by architect Marcello D’Olivo in the 1950s.

Its combination of pine trees, beach, architecture and open spaces gives this part of Lignano a character of its own.

Lignano Riviera

At the western end of the peninsula, Lignano Riviera offers a quieter atmosphere, with plenty of greenery and a wide sandy beach.

Close to the mouth of the River Tagliamento, it is a good choice for anyone who wants to discover a more peaceful and natural side of Lignano.

Things to do in Lignano Sabbiadoro with the family

There’s much more to Lignano than the beach, especially if you’re travelling with children.

At Aquasplash, Italy’s first water park, you can spend the day enjoying pools, slides and attractions for adults and children.

Nature and wildlife lovers can visit Parco Zoo Punta Verde, a 10-hectare zoological park that is home to around 1,000 animals from approximately 70 different species.

For an evening of rides and attractions, there’s Strabilia Luna Park, while Parco Junior and I Gommosi offer more opportunities for family fun.

Events and live music in Lignano Sabbiadoro

Throughout the year, and particularly during the summer season, Lignano hosts sporting events, concerts, cultural events and entertainment.

The G. Teghil Stadium is one of the town’s main live music venues and regularly welcomes major Italian and international artists.
