Torre dell'Orso
Welcome and Fun with a Caribbean Sea
Torre dell’Orso is one of the five “Marine” of Melendugno and one of the most beloved and appreciated locations for those who choose Salento as their vacation destination.
There are numerous reasons why tourists and locals alike (even the Salentini choose where to spend their days by the sea!) favor Torre dell’Orso. Instead of describing this beautiful location in the most conventional way, we have decided to share its highlights through key reasons.
The Sea
Because it always has crystal-clear waters. Whether on the many sirocco days when the wind is just a distant memory and the sea is calm, or on tramontana days (as you might know, the Salentini have a natural inclination to follow the winds), when the wind blows and the waves dominate the beautiful bay, the children play with the swells, and the water remains, incredibly, crystal clear.
The Pine Forest
Because the greenery frames the bay, and the pine forest becomes a perfect spot for relaxation or soothing picnics. The pine forest that borders the sea is one of the most beloved locations by tourists. It might be the scent of the pines, the sea salt carried by the breeze, which gives the air a therapeutic effect. It could be the lush green surroundings. In short, the beauty of the sea is significant, but the greenery is the cherry on top of this unique place.
La Spiaggia
Because there is both sand and rocks—essentially an embarrassment of choices. But most importantly, there are the magnificent sea stacks known as “Le Due Sorelle,” which have always been shrouded in an evocative legend. Some people swim around them, while others explore by pedal boat. Reaching them is almost a must.
The Welcome
Because there are numerous activities dedicated to hospitality: from resorts to BBs, from holiday homes to vacation villages. There’s something for every taste and every need.
The Commercial Activities
Because there are numerous commercial activities of various types. They are ready to meet all the needs of those on vacation, whether for a short or extended stay: bars, pastry shops, restaurants, pizzerias, grocery stores, beachwear shops, clothing stores, hardware stores, home goods stores, and more.
Fun
Because there are numerous activities for evening entertainment, catering to both adults and children. For kids, you can't miss "I Giardini del Sole," a unique location with a variety of fun activities: go-karts, trampolines, mini-golf, and the "bruco mela" (apple caterpillar). For adults, there are many bars and cocktail lounges where you can sip a refreshing beer or a delicious mojito under the moonlight while enjoying live music.
Position
Because it is strategically located near other exceptional Salentine spots not to be missed: 18 km from Otranto, 25 km from Lecce, and just one kilometer from the Grotta della Poesia, one of the ten most beautiful natural pools in the world. We are in the heart of Salento, we assure you.
In short, these and many other reasons make it a must to treat yourself or gift a vacation in the beautiful Torre dell’Orso. Want to know more? Visit the website:
