Borgo Egnazia is a five-star luxury resort in Savelletri di Fasano, in Brindisi province, Apulia. Built in 2010 on a historic masseria estate, the resort was designed to evoke an entire Puglian village, with whitewashed stone buildings, ancient olive trees, cobbled lanes, and a central piazza. It occupies a stretch of coastal countryside roughly five kilometres from the Adriatic Sea, with a private beach accessible by shuttle.
Accommodation spans three tiers: the Hotel houses elegant rooms and suites with vaulted ceilings and terracotta floors; the Casette are private residences set around the village square; and the Villas offer exclusive retreats with private pools, full kitchen facilities, and personal butler service. Room rates begin at approximately €600 per night for hotel rooms, rising to €2,500 or more for villa configurations.
Dining at Borgo Egnazia is anchored by Vora, a fine-dining restaurant celebrating Puglian ingredients and tradition, and Due Camini, a more relaxed restaurant set in a former stone farmhouse. Additional outlets include rooftop and poolside bars, a dedicated breakfast room, and a children's cooking workshop. Cooking classes for adults explore pasta-making and olive oil tasting.
The VAIR Spa is one of the most celebrated wellness destinations in southern Italy, offering treatments rooted in Apulian herbal traditions, a heated outdoor seawater pool complex, an indoor pool, steam rooms, and a hammam. Alongside the spa, the resort maintains a dedicated fitness studio and direct access to the adjacent San Domenico Golf course, an 18-hole championship layout that consistently ranks among Italy's finest.
The kids' club, Egnazino, operates daily programming from June through August for children aged three to twelve. Concierge services arrange excursions to Alberobello's trulli, boat trips along the coast, and guided visits to local olive oil producers. The staff-to-guest ratio is high, and the culture is attentive without being formal—well suited to both honeymooners and multi-generational family stays.
