Sublime 5* Puglia beach stay with a spa

• Five-star beach bliss: Set on a secluded sandy stretch on the shores of the Adriatic, Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel is the ultimate five-star beach bolthole. Oozing barefoot chic amid sweeping sea views and whitewashed interiors, this intimate boutique hotel is a masterpiece of laid-back coastal luxury,  boasting airy eco-chic décor bathed in warm neutral tones and dotted with charming traditional touches. 

• Unparalleled relaxation: It's hard to overstate how close the beach is here, with the gently-lapping waves of the sea virtually a single step from the hotel's lush gardens and sun-kissed outdoor pool. As if that weren't enough, the wonderful Aqua Spa beckons with its dimly-lit spaces and soothing sauna, Turkish bath, sensory showers and more, plus a pampering menu of holistic rituals and high-end beauty treatments. Top it off with a Technogym fitness centre and an osteopath, and you'll find all your wellness needs more than catered-for.

• Relaxed dining: Wake up to a fabulous Pugliese breakfast buffet each morning, and saunter down to the beachfront Giùammare Osteria Contemporanea for lazy lunches in the salty sea breeze. An ode to the region's rich culinary heritage, expect hearty traditional cuisine and tantalising fresh seafood, while in the evening Autentico Wine & Restaurant serves local favourites with a sophisticated modern twist. Slow-sip your morning coffee over a book at the Botanico Lounge Bar, and let the rest of your day be punctuated by colourful cocktails at the Botanico Pool Bar.
