History & Story
If we know the date of birth of an island, then that island becomes a person we care about, a part of the earth that is our friend. The Island of Roses, the youngest in the Venetian lagoon, was born in 1870. Its position, halfway between the lagoon and the sea, has endowed this magnificent garden of 16 hectares with a special microclimate. In fact, a fresh and salutary breeze blows on the Isola delle Rose, already Mediterranean because of the play of marine currents, which has stimulated the growth of plants rare in Venice, such as the olive, and suggested the setting up of a clinic for respiratory diseases at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1914 the Isola delle Rose received its first patients. the same years saw the opening of the house of the clinic’s director, in a Romanesque revival style, and the cavana, a typically Venetian covered shelter for boats. The clinic, closed during the first world war, was re-opened in 1920 with the addition of new buildings, including the church and the DopoLavoro, or working men’s club.
In 1936 the Isola delle Rose was visited by Victor Emanuel III, an event recorded in an Istituto Luce newsreel and to which the royal coat of arms at the entrance still bears witness. Everywhere tranquility, light and the freshness and splendor of the vegetation hold sway, in the gardens that line the shores, in the great park behind the hotel and in the hundreds of roses that scent the air. The people of the Isola delle Rose live in harmony with nature, to the point where the ‘island’ economy is self-sufficient. the soil, rich in nutrients, sustains vegetable gardens, orchards and even an olive grove with around a hundred trees. In 1980 the clinic closed down for good. The only person left to watch over the gardens and the rose beds was a capuchin friar, padre Policarpo. when he too was obliged to depart, all that remained on the island was the beauty of his name. The greek word polycarpous means rich in fruit, and by extension creative. bearing fruit and creating beauty, that is what happens every day at our resort.
In the Venetian lagoon, an artificial island is transformed into a luxury resort with large green areas. Landscaped, the island has several buildings, which date back to the early decades of the twentieth century: a hospital with service outbuildings. With wisdom and competence, the project is managed in its dimensional complexity: a leap in scale from the macro (masterplan) to the micro (detail). The masterplan reorganizes the island into three main parts, marked by the green areas on the island. The area of the former 1936 hospital becomes a luxury hotel, with 230 Venetian-style suites revisited in a contemporary key and a large roof terrace, equipped
with an outdoor swimming pool and panoramic restaurant. In the next phase includes various brick pavilions, preserved according to the « box in the box » principle: to intervene inside without touching the ancient walls, safeguarding the historical memory of the buildings according to the most current principles of heritage conservation. The Maisonette, the offices, the administration, the suites, the spa and the staff quarters find adequate space in these longitudinal buildings.
In addition to the olive grove, there is a large green area used as a vegetable garden for the use of the resort’s restaurants. A third green belt is used for the regeneration of the earth. Attention to the lagoon landscape, made up of water, slowness and silence, is combined with consistent choices of local materials, available locally. It is a unique place, aimed at high-level tourism looking for the luxury of subtraction in a location of exceptional value. Rose island is in fact an innovative type of luxury resort, a village with three zeros: zero km, zero co2, and zero garbage.
Date Renewal
The whole complex is originated from the renovation of buildings of the ‘10s; ‘20s and 30’s through a full restyling that ended on May 2015 –an additional further refurbishment was done on 2016. The resort was opened on March 2015.
We are currently embarking on a sophisticated restoration to further elevate our private island sanctuary; a refined evolution of luxury that promises to unveil an even more enchanting experience for your next stay.

Fun Facts
Among the most storied figures in the history of Isola delle Rose is Father Policarpus, a Benedictine monk and botanist who resided here during the island’s era as a renowned sanatorium. Operating throughout the 1930s and 1940s, Father Policarpus was far more than a spiritual guide; he was a pioneer of holistic wellness who dedicated his life to the healing power of nature.
He transformed the island’s fertile soil into a living pharmacy, meticulously cultivating medicinal plants to create specialized herbal remedies for the sanatorium’s patients. This unique blend of scientific curiosity and spiritual devotion laid the groundwork for the resort’s modern philosophy of well-being. Local lore also attributes the island’s botanical splendor to his private rose garden, a passion project that not only inspired the island’s name but continues to influence the lush, fragrant landscaping that defines the JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa today.
