The Island of Elba

A "man-sized" island, Elba has benefitted from the comfort and tools provided by technology and civilisation without compromising its natural heritage, landscape, sea and coastlines, mountains and forests.

Diving and Snorkelling in Elba

The natural setting of Capo Sant'Andrea is spectacular underwater as well. The submarine park of the Tuscan Archipelago hides beautiful treasures and, in between multi-coloured shoals of fish, the wrecks of ancient vessels which sank centuries ago with precious cargoes can be explored.

Capo Sant'Andrea

A narrow and winding road descending down towards the sea, a few houses completely immersed in thriving and unspoilt nature. Don't be surprised when you see the chestnut trees at Capo Sant'Andrea so close to the sea, highlighting the perfect balance with the mountains.

Windsurfing on Elba

Windsurfers will certainly not get bored on Elba. The weather and sea conditions are often exactly those required for windsurfing in complete safety along the coast, which is exposed to strong winds from the north-west.
