Taking children on holiday to Elba Island is one of those choices families tend to repeat year after year - not out of habit, but because it truly works. And for families, Residence Baia Azzurra is the ideal starting point.
Safe, sandy and well-equipped beaches
The beaches in the municipality of Capoliveri are among the most family-friendly on the island. Sandy, sheltered and with gently sloping seabeds, they allow children to enter the water safely and play freely without worries about rocks or strong currents.
The closest beaches to the residence - Naregno Beach and Lido di Capoliveri, both just 5 minutes away by car - are fully equipped with beach facilities: umbrellas, sunbeds, showers, bars and restrooms. Everything you need for a stress-free day at the seaside, where children are happy and parents can finally relax.
The Tuscan Archipelago National Park: learning through nature
A poca distanza dal residence si trova una sede del Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago Toscano, che propone laboratori didattici pensati appositamente per i più piccoli. Un modo coinvolgente per avvicinare i bambini alla natura dell'isola - la macchia mediterranea, i fondali marini, gli uccelli migratori - trasformando la curiosità in esperienza. Un pomeriggio al parco vale più di mille spiegazioni.
The Sea Museum: real treasures, real stories
In the heart of Capoliveri, the Sea Museum preserves something truly special: precious objects and coins recovered from a shipwreck that sank in the early 20th century, brought back to light from the seabed after decades underwater.
For children, it is a real-life dive into the world of pirates and hidden treasures - with nothing invented, only authentic history.
The museum regularly hosts workshops and theatre performances for children and teenagers, turning each visit into an interactive and memorable experience. It is worth checking the programme before your stay and booking in advance.
Capoliveri cinema: a different kind of evening
When a day at the beach feels too long or children need a change of pace - or simply when the weather is not perfect - Capoliveri also offers a local cinema showing current films.
A relaxed family evening just a few minutes from the residence, without having to reach the larger towns of the island.
Residence Baia Azzurra: the right base for a family holiday
At Residence Baia Azzurra, children enjoy space, greenery and freedom: the large garden becomes their playground, while the ground-floor apartments with private terraces make everything easier and more comfortable.
In the evening, you come back, relax on the terrace and plan the next day. The kind of holiday children remember - and parents are happy to repeat.
