Elba is the largest and most beautiful of the Tuscan islands, a green and mountainous gem set in the clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea between Corsica and the Italian mainland. With its sandy beaches, hidden coves and rich history, it is one of the most rewarding cruising grounds off the Italian coast.
The island offers remarkable variety, from pine-clad mountains and vineyards to a coastline of over one hundred and fifty beaches, ranging from golden sand to smooth pebbles and dramatic rocky coves. Its clear, colourful water is among the finest in the region for swimming and snorkelling.
Elba is also steeped in history as the place of Napoleon’s first exile, and his elegant residences can still be visited today. Charming ports such as Portoferraio and Porto Azzurro offer colourful harbours, good restaurants and a relaxed island atmosphere.
With its beautiful beaches, clear water and rich history, Elba combines natural beauty with genuine character. Guests can anchor in secluded coves, swim in crystal-clear water and explore a green and unspoilt island at the heart of the Tuscan Archipelago.
