Overview

Set on its own private island in the heart of the Venetian lagoon, San Clemente Palace offers a rare mix of grand heritage, modern luxury and total tranquillity. Arrive by complimentary private boat, before stepping into a peaceful retreat – with almost 15 acres of landscaped gardens framed by 900 years of history. From the beautifully restored 12th Century chapel to the sweeping monastery courtyards and refined Renaissance architecture, the setting is nothing short of cinematic. Days here are spent wandering leafy paths, unwinding by the heated outdoor pool or indulging in Venetian flavours at one of the island’s standout restaurants. With a dedicated kids’ club, a holistic spa and rotating art installations throughout the grounds, this is a resort that speaks to both culture seekers and those simply looking to slow down and recharge.

Despite its sense of seclusion, you’re never far from the sights. The hotel’s complimentary boat service takes you across the water to St Mark’s Square in around ten minutes, placing landmarks like the Doge’s Palace and Basilica di San Marco just a mile and a half away. The Grand Canal and Dorsoduro’s art-filled alleyways sit under two miles from the island, while the Biennale exhibitions in Giardini are just over two miles away. Venice Marco Polo Airport lies approximately seven miles north and can be reached via private water taxi directly to the hotel’s dock, or by waterbus to San Marco followed by the hotel’s shuttle. Whether you’re planning to explore the city’s iconic sights or simply watch it shimmer across the lagoon, you’re perfectly placed to do both.

Rooms and suites here offer an elegant blend of heritage and luxury, with soaring ceilings, parquet floors and grand windows framing views of either the peaceful parkland or the shimmering lagoon. Interiors draw on classic Venetian style, with Murano glass accents, plush textiles and marble-clad bathrooms that make relaxing effortless. All rooms come with luxury amenities including flat-screen TVs, minibars, coffee and tea making facilities and complimentary Wi-Fi – as well as spacious bathrooms stocked with robes, slippers and premium toiletries. For a truly memorable stay, consider upgrading to the Venice Suite, which offers a separate living area, a walk-in wardrobe, panoramic lagoon views and refined interiors that blend classic grandeur with serene privacy.

Other facilities

San Clemente Palace makes unwinding effortless, with facilities designed to soothe, energise and delight in equal measure. At the heart of the island, the outdoor heated pool is framed by fragrant pines and olive trees, with sun loungers dotted around the water’s edge for lazy afternoons under the Venetian sun. Settle into a shaded cabana with a chilled drink or take a gentle swim before breakfast. The poolside atmosphere is serene yet sociable, offering a peaceful pocket of relaxation away from the bustle of the city.

If you’re in the mood to move, head to the island’s scenic jogging path, which winds through 37 acres of landscaped parkland – past cypress trees and monastery walls. A small pitch and putt course lets you work on your short game with a view, and there’s a tennis court tucked within the gardens too. Indoors, you’ll find a fully equipped gym with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the island – ideal for a motivating workout with natural light and calming views. Personal training sessions and yoga classes can also be arranged, should you want to elevate your routine.

To truly reset, book into the Longevity Spa, a tranquil space designed with Venetian heritage and modern wellness in mind. The treatment menu blends ancient techniques and contemporary therapies, from deep tissue massages to indulgent rituals using rose oil, gold-infused products and aromatic herbs. After your treatment, unwind in the spa’s sauna or steam room, or sip herbal tea in the peaceful relaxation lounge. If you're travelling with children, the on-site kids’ club offers a colourful space with supervised activities and a playground nearby – so while you indulge, they’re just as entertained.

Dining information

You won’t need to leave the island for a memorable meal – the hotel offers a collection of distinctive restaurants and bars that turn every bite and sip into something special. You can begin your day in the refined surrounds of Insieme Restaurant, where a generous breakfast buffet is served in an elegant series of salons – dressed in delicate Venetian textiles and antique furnishings. On warm mornings, take your coffee out into the 15th Century monastery courtyard, where the scent of fresh pastries mingles with the sea breeze. Expect locally sourced produce and artisanal breads, alongside cold cuts, cheeses, fresh fruit and a la carte egg dishes, all plated with care and full of regional flavour.

When it’s time to unwind, La Dolce Brasserie & Pool Bar is the place to be. Tucked beside the outdoor pool and shaded by swaying palms, it delivers laid-back sophistication with unbeatable lagoon views. The menu leans into Mediterranean favourites, with Italian classics like tuna tartare with stracciatella and basil oil, and rich lobster spaghetti that pairs perfectly with a crisp glass of Pinot Grigio. There’s also lighter fare if you’re after a poolside nibble, with refreshing cocktails on hand throughout the afternoon. For something more refined, book a table at Acquerello (open seasonally), where elegant dishes with Venetian flair are served right by the water’s edge, often spotlighting ingredients from the hotel’s private gardens and the surrounding islands.

You can enjoy a more relaxed pace at Clemente Bar, located within the hotel’s stately interiors. With its rich wood panelling, soft lighting and classic design, it’s an inviting spot for everything from a mid-morning espresso to a post-dinner grappa. Come evening, the Sunset Bar lives up to its name – set in the leafy gardens, it offers panoramic views across the lagoon and a front-row seat to golden hour. Settle in with a chilled spritz or signature cocktail like the San Clemente Negroni and nibble on gourmet cicchetti as the sky shifts from blush to indigo.
