Baia Holiday San Nicola

Nestled in the heart of the Gargano National Park, surrounded by lush Mediterranean vegetation and facing a turquoise sea, Baia Holiday Centro Turistico San Nicola is one of Southern Italy’s most iconic seaside camping resorts. Stretching across more than 120,000 square meters, this large and vibrant holiday village is located directly by the sea in San Nicola, Calabria, offering a perfect balance of relaxation, nature, and adventure. Since 1984, it has consistently been ranked among the top campsites in Europe, thanks to its stunning natural setting, excellent facilities, and genuine Italian hospitality.

The resort boasts a 700-meter private sandy beach, enclosed by dramatic cliffs that form a breathtaking natural bay. The shallow, crystal-clear waters make it an ideal destination for families with children. Guests can choose from spacious pitches for tents and campers, or comfortable bungalows equipped with all modern amenities. For food lovers, the Ristorante Pizzeria Andromeda is a must-visit, serving local Puglian and Italian dishes, fresh seafood, and award-winning wood-fired pizzas right by the sea. Enjoy romantic dinners or sunset aperitifs at the Pegaso Beach Bar, famous for its cocktails, ice cream, and seaside ambiance.

The campsite is packed with leisure options — from tennis, football, and water sports to a children’s playground and organized entertainment for both kids and adults. You’ll also find a supermarket and regional wine shop offering everything from fresh produce and bread to local wines and specialties. In the evening, the amphitheater comes alive with shows and music under the stars, making every night a celebration of the Mediterranean lifestyle.

Whether you’re looking to unwind on the beach, enjoy a culinary journey through Southern Italy, or explore the region’s natural wonders, Centro Turistico San Nicola offers an unforgettable open-air holiday by the sea. Book early — this iconic Gargano escape fills quickly during the summer season!

The surroundings of San Nicola and Peschici, often called the Pearl of the Gargano, are among the most beautiful in Southern Italy. The medieval village of Peschici, perched on a cliff overlooking the sea, is just a few kilometers away — a maze of whitewashed houses, charming alleys, and traditional trattorias serving fresh fish and handmade pasta.

From the campsite, you can embark on boat excursions to the Tremiti Islands, famous for their clear waters and diving spots, or take a guided sea cave tour along the Gargano coast. Nature enthusiasts can visit the Umbrian Forest, Italy’s largest ancient deciduous forest, ideal for hiking and picnics. For cultural travelers, Monte Sant’Angelo and San Giovanni Rotondo — home to the shrine of Padre Pio — offer a glimpse into Southern Italy’s spiritual and historical heart. Every day here brings a new opportunity to discover, taste, and explore.

Baia Holiday San Nicola is located a short drive from Peschici, with easy access to restaurants, bars, and local shops. The campsite’s beach, market, and dining venues are all within walking distance, ensuring maximum convenience.
