The Mari del Sud Resort is on the Baia di Ponente, better known as "Sabbie Nere" due to its volcanic origins. On this beach, at approximately 350 m distance, is the beach facility for the hotel guests with special price conditions to rent umbrellas and sunbeds. If you walk through the little streets with their shops and stalls you’ll come to the Baia di Levante, also called "warm sea" due to the volcanic gases that bubble under water.
