Private lagoon island refuge

Tucked away on the private Isola delle Rose, JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa will take your Italian getaway to the next level.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
A complimentary twenty-minute water shuttle connects the secluded lawns of Isola delle Rose directly to the bustle of Piazza San Marco.
The rooms
Accommodations range from light-flooded suites in the main building to split-level lofts in La Maisonette with private garden terraces.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Red-and-white umbrellas line the fourth-floor infinity pool deck, looking out across the open lagoon toward Venice.
The spa and gym
Lagoon views fill the glass-walled vitality pool and treatment suites. Nearby, the gym occupies a restored brick pavilion.
Dogs stay too.
Cucina Daily Restaurant
Morning breakfast spreads give way to casual trattoria dinners and pizza beneath slatted timber lamps.
At the table
Sagra serves rooftop drinks overlooking Venice, and the cooking academy hosts hands-on masterclasses with local chefs.
How it began
The island once housed a 1930s pulmonary clinic, whose original brick structures were preserved to create a secluded wellness sanctuary.
