The Sense Experience Resort, a five-star coastal retreat in Tuscany’s Maremma, has been nominated for the prestigious Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2026. This guest-voted recognition emphasizes the property’s commitment to experiential luxury, blending nature, design, and authentic Tuscan identity for memorable experiences.

A Resort Immersed in Nature on the Gulf of Follonica
Situated within a five-hectare natural park on the Gulf of Follonica, near Torre Mozza, The Sense Experience Resort includes a private beach, preserved sand dunes, and an outdoor heated pool—offering panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The resort features century-old pines and local vegetation, allowing guests to connect with Tuscany’s unspoiled coastline.

The resort comprises 112 rooms and suites across five low-rise buildings, with options from Comfort and Deluxe to themed Suites and spacious Two-Bedroom Sea View Suites with outdoor Jacuzzis. The interiors utilize natural materials, warm woods, and vibrant fabrics to harmonize with the surrounding landscape, reflecting the motto: “Be natural, be you.”

Experiential Luxury: Guests as Protagonists
Instead of a standard concierge, The Sense provides an “Experience Specialist” team dedicated to creating tailor-made stays, incorporating activities like sunrise beach rituals, cycling, wine routes, and nature walks. This hotel encourages guests to immerse themselves in their unique Tuscan stories.

Tuscan Flavours, Beachfront Fine Dining and Mixology
Culinary experiences are central to the Sense ethos. Dimorà, the primary à la carte restaurant, serves gourmet Tuscan dishes using local ingredients, offering various dining options—indoor, terrace, or beachside. The beachside restaurant Eatè provides a refined dining experience in a stunning setting overlooking the Gulf of Follonica.

Guests can continue their evenings at the Red Rabbit Mixology Bar, where cocktails are inspired by Mediterranean botanicals and coastal aromas. Overall, the resort’s gastronomic offerings present a modern take on traditional Tuscan cuisine.

The nomination for the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards is determined by guest votes, affirming The Sense Experience Resort’s quality and satisfaction. Past guests are encouraged to vote in the Hotels (Italy, Europe) category on the official website before February 23, 2026, to support the representation of Tuscany’s Maremma on a larger scale.

Backed by Icon Collection, the group overseeing several notable accommodations, The Sense is committed to innovation in service, sustainability, and guest experiences, marking its latest nomination as a significant milestone in redefining coastal luxury in Tuscany.
