History

The JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa is situated on Isola delle Rose, a private island with a rich and storied past. Known initially as Sacca Sessola, the island was created in the early 20th century through marshland reclamation. Its initial purpose was quite different from its current luxurious incarnation; it was first developed as a sanatorium for patients suffering from tuberculosis, taking advantage of the serene environment provided by the surrounding lagoon.

In the years following its medical use, the island underwent several transformations, reflecting the changing needs and aspirations of the times. By the mid-20th century, as medical advancements reduced the necessity for sanatoriums, the island’s facilities fell into disuse. However, its strategic location and inherent beauty kept it from being forgotten. The island remained a hidden gem in the Venetian Lagoon, slowly evolving and waiting for a visionary transformation.

The most significant change came in 2015 when JW Marriott recognised the island’s potential and embarked on an ambitious project to create a world-class luxury resort. The restoration and development carefully preserved the historical elements of the island while introducing modern amenities and design. The result is a stunning blend of old and new, where guests can immerse themselves in the rich history of Venice while enjoying contemporary comforts and exceptional service. The JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa is now a beacon of refined elegance, offering a unique and enriching experience honouring the island’s past while celebrating its vibrant present.
