From the marriage of Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel in 2012 to the three-day Hindu union celebration between Ritika Agarwal and Rohan Meta in 2014, celebrity events have taken place at Borgo Egnazia. Birthdays celebrated by Madonna, David and Victoria Beckham, Michael Bublé, and Tom Hanks have all been commemorated at this prestigious resort. Even Chiara Ferragni and Dolce&Gabbana have left their mark on the luxurious venue.
Borgo Egnazia is a 5-star resort, part of the Leading Hotel of the World network, situated in the countryside of the Savelletri area in Puglia, Italy. This exclusive location resembles a typical Apulian town with white villas, fragrant gardens, and stone courtyards. Guests can enjoy top-tier restaurants, private beaches, and a nearby golf course, all surrounded by the beauty of the Italian countryside.
Borgo Egnazia’s success has led to plans for expansion by Egnazia Ospitaalità Italiana (Eoi), the management company founded by Aldo Melpignano and his mother Marisa. They aim to replicate the Borgo Egnazia model in 20 luxury properties across Italy. In addition to its modern success, Borgo Egnazia has historical significance, as it is built near ancient ruins that were once the center of the Messapians.
The name “Egnazia” itself comes from the ancient port town that served as the starting point of the Via Egnatia, a vital Roman road connecting the Adriatic to the Aegean and Black Seas. This historical significance, combined with Borgo Egnazia’s modern-day luxury and charm, has made it a beacon for the world’s elite. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has even called for a summit at Borgo Egnazia, where global leaders will gather for a conference from June 13th to 15th, showcasing the resort’s ability to host influential events.
