Set on the seafront in Mazzeo, a quieter hamlet just outside Letojanni, Hotel Rivage puts you right by Sicily’s classic sand-and-shingle shoreline. Step out to a palm-lined promenade dotted with beach clubs, pizzerias and gelato stands, or wander around 1km to Letojanni’s resort centre for more shops and trattorias.

Historic Taormina is only a short bus or taxi ride away (approx. 6.9km), so you can pair lazy beach days with atmospheric evenings in the hilltop town’s ancient streets and piazzas.

Dining at Hotel Rivage has a distinctly Sicilian flavour. Bonuè Garden, the hotel’s main à la carte restaurant, serves Italian and local dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner in a contemporary setting, with highchairs available for younger guests. In summer, Bonuè Beach at the Lido Playa SoleLuna (across the road on the beach) adds a relaxed, toes-in-the-sand option for lunch and dinner with sea views.

Two bars keep you refreshed throughout the day: the Lido Bar on the beach for daytime drinks between swims, and the Lobby Bar back at the hotel for pre-dinner aperitivo or a nightcap. Opening dates and hours are seasonal and a smart-casual dress code may apply at dinner; reservations and supplements can vary depending on your board basis.

You’ll have two outdoor freshwater pools to choose from. One sits by the beach with sunbeds for lazy days alternating between dips in the pool and paddles in the sea (typically open mid-June to end of September). A second outdoor pool with its own sunbathing area usually operates from May through October, giving an extended season for warm-weather escapes.

Towels are available for a small local charge, and facilities may vary between pools. Directly across the street, the lido and partner beach club give you easy access to loungers on the sand-and-shingle beach, with food and drink service on hand in high season.

Hotel Rivage focuses on simple, easygoing comforts rather than a long list of activities, making it ideal if you value peace and a local, lived-in feel. There’s a small reception team on hand for concierge-style assistance and luggage storage, plus free Wi-Fi so you can plan day trips or stream by the pool.

There isn’t a full spa or gym on site, but staff can often help you arrange local experiences in and around Letojanni and Taormina – from boat trips along the coast to cable-car rides up to the old town or excursions further afield on the island.
