Ricadi sits on the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria, in the far south of Italy, an area known for its clear seas and dramatic cliff-backed beaches. It offers a more authentic, less crowded Italian beach holiday than the busier northern resorts.

It suits couples and families who want genuine Italian character, good food and beautiful coastline, away from the crowds.

Where to stay in Ricadi

The Bluebay Resort is a four-star option located in Ricadi, near the Tyrrhenian coast, making a comfortable base for enjoying the beaches and the surrounding area.

Getting there and when to go

UK visitors fly into a southern Italian airport and transfer to the Calabrian coast. Summers here are hot and sunny, perfect for the beach, while the shoulder seasons of late spring and early autumn are warm and quieter, ideal for exploring.

Beaches and the coast

This stretch of Calabria is famous for clear, turquoise water and sandy beaches set beneath cliffs and headlands. The coastline is scenic and relatively unspoilt, with calm swimming and lovely views out over the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Food and things to do

Calabria is known for hearty, flavourful cooking and excellent local produce, so dining is a real pleasure. Days can be spent on the beach, swimming, taking boat trips along the coast or exploring the area's small towns and rugged landscape.

Who it suits

Ricadi is ideal for those who want an authentic, relaxed Italian beach holiday with great food and beautiful, uncrowded coastline, rather than a built-up resort with heavy nightlife.
