Aquamarea Polignano

A careful renovation, respecting the authenticity of the site for a historical residence facing one of the most suggestive spot in Puglia, the famous and picturesque “Lama Monachile” in Polignano a Mare. A magic location in symbiosis with a powerful and dominant nature, that creates different and unique scenarios.

The sound of waves crashing on the rocky cliffs, the green-blue shades of the sea, the breathtaking sunsets designed by the flying gulls, the aroma of the sea breeze. Aquamarea is pure emotion: let yourself be inspired.

Staying in Aquamarea means enjoying a special place, a unique historic site overlooking one of the most striking cliffs in Puglia: Lama Monachile, in the heart of Polignano a Mare. One of the most beautiful and particular views, where nature is the master and creates every day a unique and always different scenario. A place where it becomes natural to be inspired by emotions.

It was nature, with its many facets, that guided us in this “raw” restructuring, in which every imperfection has in itself a story to tell, linked to the unique context in which it is immersed.

A deep bond that has lasted for over a hundred years and that was important for us to highlight, respecting it. Aquamarea was born in full respect of the authenticity of the place. A special spot to get involved in emotions: pure charm, in every single moment.
