Private Celebrations in Ischia
Every celebration tells a different story. Ours begins by listening to yours.
Some moments deserve to be celebrated surrounded by the people who matter most.

A milestone birthday, an anniversary, a graduation, a christening, a First Communion, a family gathering or simply an evening shared with lifelong friends. Whatever the occasion, every celebration deserves to feel personal, relaxed and unforgettable.
For more than sixty years, Gabbiano Beach has welcomed families from Ischia and around the world, helping them celebrate life's most meaningful moments. Throughout the years, our philosophy has remained the same: every event should reflect the people celebrating it, never a standard package.
Located directly on the waterfront of Citara Beach in Forio, Gabbiano Beach offers one of the most spectacular settings on the island. The sea, the sunset and the warm atmosphere of our family become part of every celebration, creating memories that last long after the evening is over.
Whether you are planning an intimate dinner or a large private celebration, every detail is designed together with you. Menus, layouts, decorations and entertainment can all be personalised to create an event that truly reflects your vision.
Our venue comfortably hosts celebrations for up to 200 guests, while larger events of up to 300 people can be accommodated by extending the celebration onto the beach with dedicated structures.
Our goal is simple: to allow you to enjoy every moment with your guests while we quietly take care of everything behind the scenes.

Designed Around Your Celebration
Every event is unique.
Some families dream of an elegant seated dinner overlooking the sea.
Others prefer a generous buffet where guests can move freely and enjoy the evening at their own pace.
Many choose a combination of both.
For this reason, every celebration begins with a conversation. Together we create a personalised proposal that can be refined until every detail reflects your wishes, your guests and your budget.
