Eight Paraggi
Overlooking crystal-clear waters and embraced by the lush, untamed nature of the promontory, Eight Paraggi offers an intimate and highly distinctive escape. Here, an enviable beachfront location meets boutique proportions and a quiet elegance that flows seamlessly into the surrounding landscape.
Born in 2009 from the masterful restoration of a historic 19th-century villa, this exclusive retreat features just twelve rooms, a refined restaurant, and a private beach. It has always been envisioned as a sanctuary where time adopts your personal, authentic rhythm, deeply intertwined with the pure soul of Paraggi. Days here drift effortlessly between sun-kissed waters and serene stillness, striking a perfect balance between high-end hospitality and familiar warmth—evoking the feeling of your own private villa by the sea. From the beach to the table, our culinary offerings honor the seasons, celebrating Ligurian traditions with a fresh, contemporary flair.
The Eight Paraggi Experience
Every stay is an invitation to bespoke indulgence: an impromptu yacht excursion, a private cooking masterclass dedicated to authentic pesto and focaccia, a guided morning at the local market, or a curated tasting of regional oils and wines. The moment an unexpected desire arises, our dedicated team stands ready to bring it to fruition with the effortless discretion that defines Eight.
To enrich your experience, an intimate in-house boutique showcases a curated selection of niche Italian brands, adding a touch of tailored style to your stay. Furthermore, guests of Eight Paraggi enjoy seamless privileges at Eight Portofino, our sister property located just minutes away.

Location
Paraggi, an authentic natural gem of the Italian Riviera, is a picturesque bay nestled between Santa Margherita Ligure and Portofino. Renowned for its emerald waters and enchanting beach, it is a small yet captivating seaside village. Once an ancient fishing and millers’ village, Paraggi still preserves traces of its history linked to water and local craftsmanship. Traces of this heritage can still be found along the scenic Via dei Mulini, where some historic buildings are still accessible today. Today, Paraggi is one of the most exclusive and sought-after destinations on the Ligurian coast, appreciated for its elegant, discreet, and timeless atmosphere.
