Pool day passes in Venice Lido

Venice Lido doesn't run on hotel pool day passes the way the rest of coastal Italy does. Hotel Excelsior Venice, Ausonia Hungaria, Ca' del Moro, Viktoria Palace, DB Villas Le Ville del Lido Resort, and Hotel Villa Mabapa all have pools, and none of them publish non-guest pricing. The Lido's real day-use product is the beach club circuit along the Lungomare, and the one with a proper swimming pool open to non-residents is Bluemoon, run by Venezia Spiagge.

A Bluemoon day at the pool costs €20 per person in June and €24 in July and August (about $22 to $26), with a two-person rate of €40 in peak season (about $44). That covers pool access, changing rooms, lockers, and hot and cold showers, plus a poolside bar and restaurant on-site.

Bluemoon takes online bookings through veneziaspiagge.online, or you can book in person at the Bucintoro office. The pool typically opens in May, once the beach season is fully underway, and runs through mid-September.

How much does a pool day pass in Venice Lido cost?

There's only one confirmed, priced pool day pass on the Lido, at Bluemoon. Every hotel pool on the island is either explicitly reserved for overnight guests or simply doesn't advertise a day rate, so Bluemoon's rate card is the only reliable number to plan around.

Hotel	Price	Best for
Bluemoon	€20 June, €24 July-August per person (about $22 to $26)	The only priced, bookable pool day pass on Venice Lido

Can non-guests use hotel pools in Venice Lido?

Rarely, and not with a fixed published price. Hotel Excelsior Venice gives conflicting signals: some listings suggest non-guest access is possible "upon availability," but the hotel's own FAQ states the pool and pool bar are reserved exclusively for guests. Ca' del Moro describes its pool as free for hotel and sports-complex clients but doesn't mention day-visitor sales. Ausonia Hungaria, Viktoria Palace, DB Villas, and Villa Mabapa don't publish any non-guest pool policy at all. If a hotel pool matters more to you than the beach club scene, call ahead to ask directly rather than assuming a day rate exists.

Where to stay in Venice Lido

Santa Maria Elisabetta, around the main vaporetto stop, is the most convenient base: you're close to the boats into Venice, the shops and restaurants on Gran Viale, and a short walk from the Lungomare beach strip. Right on the sand there, Hotel Excelsior Venice is the Lido's grand old Film Festival hotel, all Moorish arches and beach cabanas if you want that faded-glamour experience.

For something quieter and more residential, Hotel Villa Mabapa is a converted 1920s villa set in its own garden, a short walk to the beach and about 20 minutes by vaporetto into Venice. Families tend to do well at Hotel La Meridiana, which sits close to both the sand and the boat connections.

Bluemoon

Bluemoon sits in Zone A of the Lido's beach concession system, run by Venezia Spiagge out of their office on Piazzale Bucintoro. It's a beach club built around umbrellas and sunbeds, but it also runs a proper swimming pool with a whirlpool section and water jets, open to day visitors rather than restricted to hotel guests.

Day entry runs €20 per person in June and €24 in July and August (about $22 to $26), with a €40 two-person rate in peak season (about $44). The price includes pool access, changing rooms, lockers, and hot and cold showers, and an electronic wristband handles entry to the facilities. A poolside bar and restaurant, run by Blue Drop, sits right next to the pool for food and drinks.

The pool typically opens once the beach season ramps up in May and runs through mid-September. Bring cash or a card for anything beyond the entry fee, since food and drink at the poolside bar are billed separately.

Frequently asked questions

Do any Venice Lido hotels sell pool day passes?

Not with published pricing. Hotel Excelsior Venice's own FAQ states its pool is reserved for guests, despite some third-party listings suggesting otherwise. Ca' del Moro, Ausonia Hungaria, Viktoria Palace, DB Villas Le Ville del Lido Resort, and Villa Mabapa all have pools but none advertise a non-guest rate. Bluemoon, a beach club pool rather than a hotel pool, is the one place on the Lido with a confirmed, bookable day price.

What's included with a Bluemoon pool day pass?

The €20 to €24 entry fee covers pool access, use of the changing rooms and lockers, and hot and cold showers. Food and drink at the poolside bar and restaurant are billed separately. Bluemoon's electronic wristband system handles access to the facilities once you've checked in at the Bucintoro office or booked online.

When is Venice Lido's pool season?

Bluemoon's beach concession opens in mid-April, but the pool itself typically comes online in May once the wider beach season is running, and stays open through mid-September. Outside that window, plan on the Lido's hotel pools instead, though none currently sell day access, so a winter visit means no pool day pass options at all.

More pool day passes near Venice Lido

For a wider spread of hotel pools with published day-pass pricing on the Italian mainland, Rome and Lake Garda both run structured programs with clear rate cards. Rimini covers the Adriatic coast's day-use beach hotel scene, closer in spirit to the Lido's beach club culture than a typical city hotel pool. Outside Italy, Corfu has a similar mix of beach clubs and hotel pools worth checking if you're extending a trip across the Adriatic.
