Buganville, Italy

On the jewel of the Aeolian Islands just off the coast of Sicily, Buganville stands as the epitome of a dazzling summer experience. Created by Antonio De Domenico, who grew up immersed in fashion and took over his family's store in the year 2000, Buganville has become the go-to boutique for beach and resortwear in the archipelago. Bringing the hottest international swimwear and resort brands exclusively to Panarea, Antonio blends jet-set style with the island's laid-back, authentic vibe.

With two multi-brand boutiques, one for women and one for men, just steps from the marina where yachts dock from around the world, Buganville offers both luxury labels and niche brands, fusing global fashion trends with a distinct local identity. The spaces reflect the island's natural palette and textures: fresh whites, soft ecru, and the signature blue of Panarea set the tone for vibrant swimwear and resortwear collections.

Total looks are presented complete with sandals, espadrilles, hats, bags, sunglasses, candles, and perfumes. Every detail, from hand-painted tiles, natural canes, wicker, raffia and woven straw, evokes the spirit of the sea and embodies Mediterranean summer luxury. Exclusivity is key here. Many of the collections and collaborations are one-of-a-kind and available nowhere else, giving Buganville its edge as an international showcase for standout brands. 

Music, champagne, cozy lounges and customized service make shopping here an experience where vacation becomes a lifestyle. To Antonio, every guest, whether a regular or a first-timer, is a VIP, receiving a true taste of the art de vivre. Even celebrities like Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Angelina Jolie, and David Beckham have rediscovered the joy of “vacation shopping” at Buganville. Just for themselves, for the simple pleasure of it. A moment of total escape.

We love the bougainvillea! A true symbol of the island, it is always in full bloom here. Not only was it an inspiration for the boutique's name, it also adorns the entrance and walls as an iconic design element.
