Hotel Select Suites and Spa Riccione

Hotel Select Suites and Spa takes the beach holiday in a more relaxed direction. The suites provide extra room, and the spa offers a place to unwind between swims. In a resort town known for energy, it gives guests a quieter option for rest, particularly in the shoulder months when the sea is cooler and wellness is more appealing. Riccione, ten minutes south of Rimini by train, is the polished sibling of the coast. It has a tree-lined seafront, the pedestrian avenue Viale Ceccarini, family parks such as Oltremare, and a lively summer nightlife. Staying here gives you a resort feel with quick rail links back to Rimini for sightseeing, and it can be slightly more expensive in July and August.

Spa facilities vary by property, but may include a pool, sauna or treatment rooms, and some may charge separately or require reservations. Check hours, age rules and what is included. Suites suit families and couples who want a living area, and the hotel can be a base for several days of both sand and slow afternoons. The seafront and town centre are a short ride or walk away, depending on the exact location.

When comparing rooms, think about how you plan to spend your time. If you will mostly be on the sand, a room close to the water or with a balcony is worth the small supplement. If you plan to explore, a quieter room away from the street helps with sleep after late evenings. Check the hotel page for the latest room types, facilities and distance to the beach, since details and services change by season.

Ask about breakfast, parking and any beach club arrangements when you book, as Italian seaside hotels often include a sunbed deal in summer. Most properties on this coast operate seasonally or with reduced services from late autumn to spring.

It suits couples, families and anyone who values downtime. A spa break pairs well with a day trip to San Marino or a wine tasting in the hills. Summer is the busiest season, with peak demand in July and August, while May, June and September offer warm weather, calmer beaches and lower rates. Winter is quiet and many seaside businesses close, though the old town and museums remain open. Book early for holiday weekends and local festivals, and check cancellation terms before you commit.
