Latest reviews on Rapallo's beaches

Paraggi Beach
10 Zayan Ali Khan

This luxurious beach club is a true gem, with exceptional service that justifies its high price tag. Recently renovated, the club now boasts new areas to the back, including a stunning terrace. Take advantage of the warm showers and boutique products from aqua di parma, which add to the already elegant atmosphere. The service here is impeccable, with staff attending to your every need. You'll feel as though you're at a five-star resort, rather than a beach club. We visit this club regularly, and this year we were blown away by the new design and atmosphere that was created. The lifeguards are friendly and helpful, and even assist with handling your SUP. They're happy to chat with you about the best brands and accessories, like the scubajet engine. We'd like to give a special shoutout to front desk manager Laura, who went above and beyond to help us secure the best spot when the weather changed. Overall, this place exudes an Italian chic vibe that you're sure to love. It's a must-visit for anyone seeking a luxurious beach experience.

Good place to relax

Rapallo beach
2 Diana Arroyo

Upon our arrival at 5 pm, we paid a sum of 60€ for a family of four, comprising two adults and two children. I was content with the price as it included access to the restaurant and pool for two and a half hours, until the closing time of 7:30 pm. However, our joy was short-lived as we discovered that the pool closes at 6 pm, while we were still swimming. Our 2-year-old was inconsolable for 20 minutes, and when she finally settled down, we headed to the bar to order some Prosecco and French fries, only to be disappointed that the kitchen was already closed. It is unfair to charge the full price for a family that arrives at 5 pm, only to find out that your services end before the closing time. It would be helpful to have a sign at the entrance that clearly states the early closing time of the pool.

When I first came across this beach in Hollywood movies and Indian Bollywood films, I realized it was an amazing spot to have a delightful vacation or capture some memorable movie scenes.

Spiaggia di Zoagli
10 Ricardo Sanchez.

We stumbled upon Zoagli and it was a delightful surprise. The charming town center was just a stone's throw away from the beach, which was a stunning shade of turquoise. We indulged in some refreshing beer, delicious pizza, and delectable gelato, which made our day even more enjoyable. The beach was not crowded, allowing us to have some peaceful moments to ourselves. The view was breathtaking, stretching all the way to Rapallo. The town itself was a marvel, nestled into the hillside. The only drawback was the limited train service, so it's best to plan ahead if you're not driving. We definitely plan on returning to Zoagli!
