Maritime peninsula

A maritime peninsula is a piece of land surrounded by sea on three sides, connected to the mainland by a narrow strip. For travelers, peninsulas concentrate some of the most exclusive hospitality real estate in the world because they offer multiple sea views, several beaches, and natural privacy from a single hotel footprint. Famous examples include Cap-Ferrat and Saint-Tropez on the French Riviera, Punta Mita in Mexico (home to Four Seasons and St. Regis), Cap d'Antibes (Eden-Roc), Cap Formentor in Mallorca, and Sithonia in Greece. Expect dramatic cliff settings, multiple sunset and sunrise orientations, and very high room rates reflecting land scarcity.
