Mountain biking and trekking on Elba
The Island of Elba is a true paradise for mountain biking and trekking enthusiasts: the climate allows year-round activities on a variety of routes for all levels.
But it is the beauty of the island and its morphology that make Elba such a perfect destination for a mountain biking holiday. In the space of just a few kilometres, you can cycle on wild beaches, on ridges with breathtaking views or on forest trails; stop to visit ancient ruins and in the most picturesque places, linger amidst the historical remains, and take refreshing breaks at the springs ...
Explore a variety of mountain biking and trekking trails suitable for all preferences. Journey from the heights of the granitic massif of Monte Capanne, where, at 1,000 metres above sea level, you can take in panoramic views of the entire Tuscan Archipelago, complete with mountain vegetation and fauna. Alternatively, embark on equally stunning routes within the eastern Elba mining park on the other side of the island. Here, you will come across reddish and multicoloured sands, or those with shimmering hues resulting from iron minerals-two captivating worlds, a mere ten-kilometres' distance apart. Between these two mountains lie an infinite number of possibilities for various itineraries.

Diving on Elba
The nearby scuba diving schools can meet the needs of both experienced divers and those venturing into this discipline for the first time, guiding them to explore the remarkably beautiful underwater landscapes. Right in front of the hotel is the boarding point for Stefano Diving, with additional diving options available in Barbarossa, Reale, and Lido.
Kayaking on Elba
Elba, with its 147 kilometres of rugged coastline adorned with caves, stunning coves, and small bays surrounded by crystal-clear, vibrant sea, is an ideal place for sea kayaking. Kayaking around the island is also a journey through the vast variety of landscapes, beach types, and the ever-changing colours that the island's morphology offers: from white, golden, and black sandy beaches to coasts of granitic gravel that bestow an intense blue hue, and white gravel coasts where the water is so transparent that the kayaks seem to be suspended in the air. The eastern coasts, in contrast, offer emerald hues.
