On the 16th of March 2022, JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa will be reopening its doors, allowing visitors to enjoy its tranquil setting and first-class services on a private Venetian island. In this travel feature, we will take a closer look at their new and updated experiences for guests to enjoy.
For many, a trip to Venice entails being amongst a significant number of other people. However, it doesn’t have to be that way, and the JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa is a perfect example of this. Although just a short boat trip from the historic attractions and the hustle and bustle, the resort is a haven of tranquillity with its lush green spaces and open areas where guests can enjoy some incredible foods and fantastic wellness experiences.
It’s also an ideal place for families thanks to a dedicated family swimming pool, a new kids club and a range of fun activities, including biscuit making at the Sapori Cooking Academy.
The resort boasts 266 rooms and suites, which are split into two separate accommodation experiences; the JW historic main building with its rooftop pool and the JW Retreats – a cluster of residences set apart from the main hotel offering another level of seclusion with their own private gardens, with select properties including private pools.
Let’s look at the JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa’s five new experiences for 2022.
JW Venice VOGA Academy – traditional Venetian rowing
The JW Venice VOGA Academy is the resort’s first sports school dedicated to traditional Venetian rowing. Guests will have the opportunity to learn the unique art of Venetian rowing, both around the Isola Delle Rose island and on some of Venice’s most famous canals.
Lessons of about 2 hours a day will have guests experiencing the lagoon as the locals do and learn about what was once the only vehicle for transit and transport in the city. The JW Venice VOGA Academy is open to individuals, couples and families and can be booked via the resort’s app.
