About Bibione

Bibione is the most family-friendly beach resort on the upper Adriatic coast and a true classic among holiday destinations for German and Austrian families. The eight-kilometer-long and up to 400-meter-wide sandy beach is one of the most extensive in Europe and offers such a gentle entry into the sea that even small children can splash around safely. Bibione has been awarded the Blue Flag multiple times and was one of the first smoke-free beaches in Italy. What sets Bibione apart from other Adriatic resorts is the successful combination of beach holiday and wellness: The Bibione Thermae utilizes natural thermal water from over 500 meters deep, which emerges at 52°C and is rich in minerals. Right on the beach, visitors can relax in warm thermal pools while the children play in the sand – a concept that exists only here. Inhalations, mud treatments, and thalasso therapies complement the offerings. The resort itself is spacious and green. Pine forests line the streets, the lagoon river Tagliamento forms the natural eastern border and hosts a diverse nature reserve. Cycling paths run throughout the entire area, connecting the beach, shopping streets, and thermal baths. The infrastructure is perfectly designed for families: playgrounds, children's animation on the beach, mini-golf, Luna Park, and the amusement park Gulliverlandia ensure that children are never bored. The journey from Bavaria and Austria is uncomplicated, taking about five hours by car. Bibione is located on the A4 between Venice and Trieste, with the nearest airports being Venice Marco Polo and Trieste. Most German guests travel by car and appreciate the generous parking spaces at the holiday resorts. A day trip to Venice (about 90 min.) or Trieste (about 75 min.) is definitely worthwhile.
