Glass-pyramid beach house
Twelve rooms sit directly on the sand, turning a seaside glass pyramid into an intimate coastal house.
What it’s good at
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Directly on the sands of Punta Ala, overlooking the waters of the gulf.
The rooms
Accommodations sit steps from the surf, opening straight out toward the gulf with sea breezes and views of the water.
The gym
Technogym machines sit on wood floors behind floor-to-ceiling glass looking straight out across the sand.
At the table
Breakfast arrives on the canopied terrace above the beach. Dinners bring fresh Mediterranean seafood overlooking the gulf.
How it began
Roberto and Nanda Polito converted a former beach club here in 2023, fifty years after opening their first Punta Ala hotel.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
