In Punta Ala, on the Tyrrhenian coast facing the island of Elba, in the middle of Mediterranean scrub dominated by pines, stands the Gallia Palace Beach, Golf & Spa Resort, an ideal place to spend a pleasant and relaxing holiday immersed in nature. In perfect harmony with the surrounding countryside, the restaurant La Pagoda, located on a private sandy beach, is renowned for the variety and quality of its dishes and grilled food, and features a bar lounge area. For guests not wishing to spend all their time lazing on the beach, the Gallia Palace offers many activities: cycling, horse-riding, water sports, pool with hydro-massage, tennis and golf on the nearby course of Punta Ala with breathtaking views over the Bay, visits to the region’s renowned wine cellars with tastings, excursions in the hinterland and at sea aboard our private yacht.
This elegant property was the first Italian hotel to join Relais & Châteaux in 1973, and the Gallia-Ansaldi family has been welcoming guests for three generations. On the fine sandy private beach, in front of the island of Elba, La Pagoda restaurant reigns supreme, thanks to its unique architecture and spectacular sea views. Completely relax in the Turkish baths, pool or wellness centre and gym. Golfers will enjoy the 18-hole golf course, set in a pine forest that is over hundred years old. A private yacht awaits for memorable excursions to the Tuscan archipelago.
Il Pellicano boasts 34 double rooms, 5 junior suites, 4 deluxe suites and 7 master deluxe suites. Just about all rooms face the sea. There are also cottages available for private rental. Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, safe and complimentary minibar come as standard.

There are two restaurants on site. One is Peligrill, the more informal option where most guests go for every day dining, which serves items such as delicious grilled fish. The Pellicano is the property’s Michelin-starred spot, with chef Michelino Gioia at the helm. Expect fresh seafood (try the John Dory with Gallinacci mushrooms and wild sorrel sauce) and local meat from Lazio and Tuscany (like a pigeon chest with foie gras, a Gioia special). The raw red shrimp in bottarga cream is unmissable. Part of the fun of eating here is for the parade of old Italian money and young hipsters dressed to the nines.

Pellicano Restaurant
Tuscany’s bounty of land and sea takes on divine Italian form under Michelin stars and moonlight.

Pelligrill Tuscan Grill
Our laid back and lovely al fresco restaurant captures all the freshness of the sea.

Cellars and bars
Bar All’Aperto, our quisebeve is for lounging between sea and sky, while Il Pellicano piano bar has a deliciously sophisticated syncopation.

The Chef
Guests admire Tuscany’s sea and country but in Chef Gioia’s eyes it is nature’s generous larder.
Kind and understanding, the staff are happy to help with anything from a late check-out to setting up beautiful bouquets of flowers for a special occasion, and also have plenty of suggestions for area adventures—like renting a boat for the day or nearby restaurants to check out. However, many guests never leave the property because of the tennis courts, pool, spa, duo of restaurants and seafront deck. Details like a seaside bar and its now-iconic beach bags give the facilities an updated appeal while still remaining five-star.



Beach Club and Pool
A saltwater pool and pristine private beach, crushed iced cocktails beneath parasols, the pleasures of farniente.

Pelliclub Spa
The Pelliclub is a delightful place to visit with friends for joyful therapy with an iced cocktail and laughter, somewhere to feel beautiful even before the treatment begins. Our Pelliclub Director Sandra promises an experience more than skin deep, more about the ‘touch than the cream’, with her team of expert, intuitive therapists.

Fitness
The sunrise over Il Pellicano’s silent bay is a life enhancing moment, pay it due honour in our yoga class by the sea. Taughten and tighten tums on the paddleboards, balance and strength are enhanced the moment you step onto a board, an excellent core workout.
