La Maviglia - New hotel in Puglia, Italy

A Hidden Sanctuary Between Vineyards and the Sea

Located near the charming town of Maruggio in Puglia’s Taranto province, La Maviglia unfolds across a spectacular 202-hectare estate just minutes from some of Italy’s most beautiful beaches. Surrounded by ancient olive trees, orchards and rolling vineyards, the resort enjoys an exceptional setting within the renowned Primitivo wine region while offering easy access to the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian coast. Nearby, guests can explore historic masserie, traditional villages and the untouched landscapes that have made Puglia one of Italy’s most desirable destinations.

A Vision of Contemporary Italian Luxury

Conceived by Swiss developer Ultimate Collection, La Maviglia has been designed as a destination where hospitality, nature and wellbeing exist in perfect harmony. The project carefully restores the historic 16th-century Masseria Maviglia while introducing contemporary architecture that blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. Sustainability forms a central pillar of the development, with renewable energy systems, organic farming, olive oil production and environmentally sensitive design shaping every aspect of the resort.

Architecture Rooted in the Landscape

The masterplan has been designed by the internationally acclaimed Oppenheim Architecture, working alongside ENEA Landscape Architecture. Rather than imposing on the landscape, the architecture embraces the site’s natural topography, integrating restored historic buildings with elegant contemporary structures surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and Mediterranean gardens. Natural stone, warm materials and generous outdoor living spaces celebrate the timeless character of southern Italy while creating a refined sense of understated luxury.

Suites, Villas and a Boutique Golf Lodge

La Maviglia will offer an exclusive collection of 70 luxury suites, ranging from spacious Junior Suites to spectacular three-bedroom Presidential Suites with private gardens or pools. The resort will also feature 35 private villas and a separate 20-room Golfer’s Lodge, located alongside the clubhouse within the golf complex. Spacious interiors, expansive terraces and handcrafted Italian finishes create elegant accommodations designed to immerse guests in the beauty of the surrounding countryside.

Four Restaurants Celebrating Puglian Flavours

Dining will be one of the defining experiences at La Maviglia, with four distinct restaurants showcasing the rich culinary traditions of Puglia. Seasonal vegetables from the estate’s gardens, locally produced olive oil, regional wines and the finest seafood from the nearby Ionian coast will shape menus inspired by authentic southern Italian cuisine. Farm-to-table philosophy and close relationships with local producers reinforce the resort’s commitment to sustainability and regional identity.

Golf and Wellness at an Exceptional Scale

At the heart of the resort lies the La Maviglia Golf Course, an 18-hole championship course carefully integrated into the existing landscape, weaving around ancient olive groves, vineyards and centuries-old water features. Complementing the golf experience, the resort will feature a 5,000-square-meter medical wellness spa, developed with wellness consultancy Maina. Facilities will include treatment suites, hydrotherapy areas, relaxation lounges, sports facilities, outdoor wellness spaces and comprehensive longevity programs designed around preventive health and holistic wellbeing.

A New Benchmark for Luxury in Southern Italy

Blending exceptional architecture, authentic Puglian heritage and one of Europe’s most ambitious wellness concepts, La Maviglia is poised to become one of Italy’s most significant luxury openings. Offering an immersive experience where golf, gastronomy, wellbeing and nature converge, the resort promises to establish a new benchmark for Mediterranean hospitality when it welcomes its first guests in 2027.
