Set to open in 2028, the resort will introduce Delano’s inimitable blend of effortless elegance and cultural energy to one of Italy’s most compelling coastal regions.
Set along Puglia’s Adriatic shoreline in the historic port city of Monopoli, Delano Puglia will be immersed in a secluded Mediterranean landscape defined by crystalline waters, rocky coves, and sweeping sea views. Long celebrated for its whitewashed towns, historic architecture, and deeply rooted culinary traditions, Puglia has emerged as one of Europe’s most desirable luxury destinations, offering a discreet and authentic alternative to Italy’s established resort enclaves. Delano’s arrival marks an important moment for the region, introducing a reimagined icon of modern hospitality renowned for creating culturally engaged, immersive spaces for the curious, creative, and well-travelled.
Refined, enchanting, and inherently bold, Delano Puglia will feature 76 guestrooms, including 13 suites, alongside a thoughtfully curated collection of leisure, wellness, social, and curated retail experiences that capture the essence of the destination, allowing guests to carry the distinctive Delano spirit well beyond their stay. A dynamic food and beverage offering includes an all-day destination speciality restaurant by Paris Society, two pool bars, a lobby lounge, and a reimagining of Miami’s iconic Rose Bar, offering spaces to gather day to night. Social energy carries into wellness, where The Source by Delano blends the art of restoration with the joy of expression across elevated movement spaces, pools and programming. Considered, flexible indoor and outdoor event spaces create further opportunities for meaningful connection, positioning Delano Puglia as both a serene escape and a magnetic social destination. For those who engage most deeply with Delano, exclusive membership offers access to curated events and experiences worldwide, each designed to foster connection and community.
The design of Delano Puglia will reflect the brand’s unmatched elegance and iconic style, blending light-filled interiors, fluid indoor-outdoor transitions and a natural palette to create spaces that are timeless, contemporary and alluring. With a fresh, vibrant spirit shaped by its Mediterranean setting, the resort will offer an experience that celebrates artistic and cultural discovery, set to the rhythm of the sea.
Born in Miami, Delano redefined modern luxury, creating spaces where design, atmosphere, and service come together with instinctive ease. Since its origins, the brand has built a legacy rooted in timeless style and cultural resonance. Recent openings and signings in destinations including Miami, Paris, Dubai, New York, London and Marrakech mark a powerful new era for Delano on the global stage. The signing of Delano Puglia further strengthens the brand’s resort portfolio, extending its presence into southern Italy and reinforcing its continued expansion into the world’s most sought-after leisure destinations.
