Singita wins the best new opening award
Singita Miracle Beach Argentario has won one of the most attended awards at the latest edition of the Italian Beach Club Gran Galà: the “novelty of the year” award, alias Best new opening beach club award 2026 (referring to new openings during the previous season). The recognition was collected in Milan, during the ceremony, by Valeria Bittarelli, marketing manager of the Singita group.
The establishment, inaugurated last summer on Albinia beach, prevailed over two other prestigious new openings: Libbani in Maratea (Basilicata) and Kora Beach Club at Milan’s Idroscalo, the latter also entering the top3 of Italy’s best lake beach establishments.
The motivation read by Tiziana Di Masi, co-author of the Guide to Italy’s Best Beach Clubs with Andrea Guolo, was as follows.
The gong ceremony on a wild beach, at the end of a pine forest, under the shade of many spectacular maritime pines and with a pond completing the setting, is something mystical. The latest Singita born in Italy, last season in Argentario, is an authentic spectacle and when the sun sets, its descent into the sea seems designed by a theatrical set designer. It feels like being in an African desert, yet we’re in Maremma. And we wouldn’t want to leave.

With Singita Argentario, the group born in Fregene has added a fourth pearl to its collection composed of the original beach club, the one in Marina di Ravenna and the third located in Malta. As stated in the review published in the guide: “We welcome with pleasure Argentario’s entry of the group founded by three partners from the tourism world who decided to create the first format that, if we were in pure dining, we would define as ‘chain’. But on the beach it’s very difficult to replicate a concept, because nature imprints its mark more decisively than a downtown street or shopping mall. And when we talk about Singita Argentario, nature is quite a marked trait”. And then: “The latest Singita born in Italy is probably the most beautiful of the three. The panorama from the beach is already beautiful if you look towards land, but if you turn towards the sea… here appears Argentario to the left, Punta Ala to the right and the silhouette of Giglio island in the distance”.
The establishment’s furnishings come from Morocco, Indonesia and Greece, and integrate perfectly with the Tuscan pine forest environment. And then there’s Nomad, the camper stop created behind the beach club to welcome freedom-loving travelers by offering curated services, natural aesthetics and full access to Singita-branded experiences.
