Lignano Sabbiadoro School Music Tour

Need something bespoke?

Halsbury Sticker

Known as the 'pearl of the Adriatic', the popular Italian resort of Lignano Sabbiadoro is located on the country’s Eastern coast, approximately halfway between the magnificent cities of Venice and Trieste. As with many popular seaside towns, Lignano comes alive in the summer with Italian and international tourists, and your ensemble can be a part of that.

Its name refers to the 8km of golden sands that draw the tourists here, so you'll definitely want to make time to enjoy the beaches. You'll also be within easy reach of Venice, Trieste and even the magical Postojna Caves in Slovenia, so there are plenty of options for cultural and sightseeing activities alongside performances.

You’ll perform three evening concerts as part of a lively summer music festival. Your performances will take place at the town’s main seaside locations on specially constructed stages, which all boast professional lighting and sound equipment. This is an exciting experience your ensemble will never forget.

Bella Italia Village

Located in Lignano Sabbiadoro, just an hour away from Venice, the Bella Italia Village offers 7 different accommodations for school groups across the sprawling coastal resort. Each residence has its own reception, as well as spacious main halls and coach parking. With a large, self-service restaurant, waterpark and an easily accessible, private beach, Bella Italia village has everything required to keep groups happy and entertained.

Each residence has its own reception where groups go directly to check in. These have spacious main halls, and there is also parking for coaches directly outside the entrance. Rooms are spacious, and all boast en-suite bathroom facilities and a TV. 

Crucially for music groups, there is also the opportunity to use the large rehearsal rooms, and there are also storage rooms in which to keep instruments – all making the logistics of a school music tour that much easier.

The Village also has an indoor Olympic-sized swimming pool, as well as a smaller swimming pool for training. There’s one full-sized football pitch with synthetic grass, as well as three five-a-side football and handball pitches. There are four basketball and volleyball courts, one tennis court and two outdoor swimming pools. Plus, there is a fully-equipped gym and even a waterpark. There's even a privately owned beach where groups can enjoy the exclusive use of the sunloungers and parasols.

Activities are regularly organised at the central bar, including dancing and disco nights, where all the visiting youth groups can enjoy the lively, social atmosphere.

The Village is definitely a little gem, with plenty of space, activities and facilities to keep your group happy on tour.
