The date has been set. The Beach Club Gala will be held on Thursday, May 7th, 2026 in Milan, at the Scala room of the Excelsior Hotel Gallia, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Milan, in piazza Duca d’Aosta 7 (adjacent to Central Station), by invitation only.

The prestigious location has been confirmed by the organizers and authors of the guide, Andrea Guolo and Tiziana Di Masi (in the photo), the same venue that hosted last year’s evening dedicated not only to the presentation of the new edition of “Guide to Italy’s Best Beach Clubs,” but also the awards ceremony for category winners. An event that, in just two years, has gained centrality in the beach club world and will feature several new elements this year, the most important being the inclusion of lake beach clubs in the guide, with a related award for the best Italian facility located on fresh water.

The release of the third edition of “Guide to Italy’s Best Beach Clubs” is scheduled for the second half of April. There will be many new facilities included, among them the new openings of summer 2025, and the selection criteria that has made the guide, published by Morellini (Milano), a valuable tool for those who love visiting Italy and deciding where to spend their summer through the offering of qualified beach facilities, will be confirmed.

The guide’s launch will be accompanied by an enhancement of the italianbeach.club website as an information and booking tool for the establishments, listed and described in both Italian and English, so as to increasingly become an international reference point and a “manifesto” on the beauty of the Italian coastline and its highest quality facilities for every price range.
