Things to Do in San Benedetto del Tronto: A Practical Guide for a Relaxing Weekend
Planning a weekend on the Riviera delle Palme almost always means striking a balance between the lively atmosphere of the town center and the need to truly unwind. San Benedetto del Tronto has everything you need, but to get the most out of your stay, it’s essential to choose the right time and location for your base.
The Waterfront and the Museum of Art on the Sea (MAM)
The first stop is inevitably the waterfront. In addition to the famous rows of palm trees and themed gardens, it’s worth walking all the way to the south pier. Here you’ll find the MAM, an open-air museum featuring dozens of sculptures carved from travertine blocks and murals created by international artists. It’s a walk of about 2 km that lets you see the city from a different perspective, right from the sea.

Cycling along the Riviera
The bike path connects San Benedetto to Grottammare without any interruptions. It’s the fastest and most enjoyable way to get around, avoiding the parking problems in the city center, especially on weekends.
The best of both worlds: all the nightlife of San Benedetto just a 10-minute walk away, and the absolute tranquility of the resort when you return.
Why stay 1 km from the city center
Choosing the Valentino Spa Resort means experiencing the Riviera in style:
• Convenient location: you’re just 1,000 meters from the heart of San Benedetto.
• Freedom of movement: You can reach downtown in less than 10 minutes by bike or on foot.
• The luxury of silence: enjoy the tranquility of Grottammare, far from the chaos and noise of the city.
Energy recovery in VSPA
After a day out and about, our VSPA is designed to offer a truly rejuvenating experience: a sauna, Turkish bath, whirlpool, and relaxation areas tailored for those seeking privacy. It’s not your typical crowded spa, but a stylish setting where time truly stands still.

We look forward to seeing you
