Living Elba island at night: there is so much to do

A wonderful sea and an unspoiled nature: this destination is rightly known as a paradise for relaxation and outdoor sports. This during the day. And even in the evening there is no shortage of things to do on Elba island: among clubs, discos and restaurants, you will be spoiled for choice.

Discos

There are three main discos on Elba island:

• The famous Club 64, near Portoferraio, a disco overlooking the Biodola and Scaglieri beaches;
• The Decò (many inhabitants of Elba still know it by the name of Ophir), near Capoliveri, is mainly frequented by young people;
• Il Tinello, in Campo nell’Elba, a small house immersed in seeing with an internal room and an outdoor track.

These are the tips for those who want to dance until the first light of dawn.

Historic center of Portoferraio

If you want the possibility to choose a different type of club every evening, the destination is Portoferraio. Especially in its historic center and on the promenade there are pubs, wineries, bars, restaurants. Locals that, especially during the summer, are always very popular and organize special evenings.

Walking

Each of the locations on Elba island is a special place that offers unique panoramas, overlooking the sea or surrounded by the embrace of the mountains. The historic center of Portoferraio and the marina of Capoliveri are two walks not to be missed during a holiday.

While the Carmignani walk, in Porto Azzurro, is recommended for an evening dedicated to relaxation and romance.

Restaurants

You can’t talk about a holiday without tasting the typical dishes of Elba island, such as cacciucco, the stockfish alla riese, the schiaccia briaca, the gurguglione. In the main inhabited centers of the island (such as Portoferraio, Capoliveri, Marina di Campo) there are numerous restaurants and trattorias where you can sit, perhaps overlooking the sea, and taste these culinary specialties.

So: where to eat on Elba island? Again, you will be spoiled for choice but we can give you three excellent tips:

• Portoferraio is where you will find various types of restaurants;
• Porto Azzurro is for a strictly fresh fish dinner;
• Marciana, on the other hand, is for tasting both the products of the land and those of the sea.

Beaches

Sansone, Padulella, Felciaio and Cavoli are just some of the most beautiful beaches on Elba island. During the day, these are suitable for enjoying the sun, the sea and relaxation. Instead of evening, small parties are often organized on the larger beaches of Capoliveri and Portoferraio, especially during the summer.
