The new five-star luxury La Maviglia Golf & Spa resort in Puglia, owned by the former Southampton chairman, will be the Ionian competitor to Borgo Egnazia.

A 500-acre estate with trulli and olive groves

What some are already labelling as the Ionian competitor of Borgo Egnazia will open in Maruggio, in the province of Taranto, in the land where Primitivo wine is produced. La Maviglia Golf & Spa Resort, from the Swiss company Ultimate Collection, is led by former Swiss-Italian banker and the owner of Southampton, Nicola Cortese. Designed by Oppenheim Architecture and landscape architects Enea, the resort will be developed on a 500-acre estate that includes over 40 Saracen trulli and olive groves. The property is said to have been purchased in 2023 for €12 million, while the total investment for the entire operation is expected to top €200 million.

There will be 70 suites and an 18-hole golf course

Upon completion scheduled for 2027, the complex will include a resort with 70 suites, ranging in size from 55 to 150 sqm, as well as an 18-hole golf course on some 200 hectares, which will be flanked by a Golfer's Lodge with 20 rooms. The complex will also have a clubhouse with a restaurant, bar, lounge and conference rooms. The plans also call for the construction of a further 35 one-to six-bedroom villas, with living and dining areas, outdoor spaces and swimming pools, ranging from 90 to 450 sqm, while four more restaurants and a 5,000 sqm medical spa will be added.
