Elba Island in Tuscany is perhaps most famous as the place that Napoleon was exiled to in 1814; however, the island’s quiet coastal resorts and quaint charm has not gone unnoticed by holidaymakers, who are starting to discover the island as a top beach holiday destination for a relaxing vacation in the Italian sunshine.
Its popularity is in part due to travel giants, such as Lonely Planet, recommending it as a top beach resort; however, the island’s unique landscape and picture-postcard beaches have surely helped in its appeal. So, it’s no surprise that 33% of holidaymakers arriving in Livorno in recent months were en-route to Elba Island – marking record tourism for this idyllic island, widely regarded as a pearl in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
We love Elba Island for a family beach holiday as it offers quiet and safe beaches where you can enjoy swimming and water-sports, but also offers a range of cycling trails, along which you can take in glorious coastal views.
