Where are the Salento Maldives located?
Maldives Salento is located near the town of Pescoluse, on the Ionian coast in the province of Lecce. It is here that the beach, officially called Spiaggia di Pescoluse, stretches for several kilometres. Thanks to its beauty and the clarity of its water, it has earned the nickname "Maldives Salento" - and no wonder, it is one of the most beautiful beaches in Italy.
Why visit Maldives Salento?

Family paradise - the gradual entrance to the sea is ideal for children.
Clean and calm - the beach regularly wins the Blue Flag award for water quality.

What to do besides swimming?
Maldives Salento is not just about relaxing on the beach. The whole Salento region offers plenty of options:
-
Historic Lecce - a baroque city, often called the "Florence of the South".
-
Gallipoli - a romantic town with a fortress and an old harbour.
-
Santa Maria di Leuca - the southernmost tip of Salento, where the Ionian and Adriatic seas meet.
-

When to go to Maldives Salento?
The best period is from May to October, when you can enjoy the warm sea and sunny weather. In July and August the beach tends to be busier, so June or September is ideal, when there are fewer tourists but still beautiful.
