"An adult playground spanning 230 hectares of coastal Mediterranean perfection, Verdura Resort boasts two 18-hole golf courses, an array of superb dining options and quite possibly the island’s finest spa."

The very best of Sicily converges in Verdura Resort at the juncture of the countryside and the sea. Spanning 230 hectares of coastal Mediterranean perfection, the resort is twenty minutes west of Sciacca, on a stretch of southern Sicily that is less trafficked than many other popular resort regions. Something of an adult playground, Verdura boasts two 18-hole golf courses, an array of superb dining options and arguably the best spa on the island, all against a backdrop of olive trees, Sicilian villages and the sparkling water of the Mediterranean.

Modernist from the get-go, the resort’s architecture is distinctively cubist and starkly minimalist, though inviting lighting and pops of colour and pattern soften the aesthetic severity. Revitalised, Olga Polizzi-designed guestrooms debuted in 2023 following a ‘soft renovation’, and the results are lovely. The property’s accommodations feel artsy and chic and capitalise on natural materials and earthy tones to create comfortably...   Show more

Something of an adult playground, Verdura boasts two 18-hole golf courses, an array of superb dining options and arguably the best spa on the island, all against a backdrop of olive trees, Sicilian villages and the sparkling water of the Mediterranean.

Modernist from the get-go, the resort’s architecture is distinctively cubist and starkly minimalist, though inviting lighting and pops of colour and pattern soften the aesthetic severity. Revitalised, Olga Polizzi-designed guestrooms debuted in 2023 following a ‘soft renovation’, and the results are lovely. The property’s accommodations feel artsy and chic and capitalise on natural materials and earthy tones to create comfortably contemporary spaces. Despite the resort’s size (there are a total of over 200 rooms, suites and villas), all accommodations are generously sized and all have Mediterranean vistas. No matter where you stay, you’ll find four-poster beds and enormous windows that open up to the fresh air and accompanying views as well as fabulously glamorous stone bathrooms. The signature Grand Suites are the most indulgent and come with double terraces (complete with hammocks) that face the water to ensure you get the absolute most out of your seafront stay.

A good assortment of bars and restaurants keep dining options fresh, even during longer stays. The trattoria-style Liolà is a colourful eatery set clifftop; the outdoor terrace is particularly romantic for an authentic Sicilian meal at sundown. Zagara offers Mediterranean cuisine by the pool, while the laid-back Amare offers delectable grilled seafood right on the beach. Come nighttime, Granita is a sleek and trendy spot for an exquisite cocktail and to-die-for views.

Even among the laid-back atmosphere of the resort and surrounding countryside, the Irene Forte Spa is blissfully serene. Spanning 4,000 square metres, it has everything you’d expect and then some, from four outdoor thalassotherapy pools and a state-of-the-art fitness centre to infrared saunas and a double-height steam room (not to mention the terrace of the Spa Bar which overlooks the mountains). When you’re not being pampered senseless, opt for a few leisurely rounds of golf, or take a mixology class at the resort’s culinary school. Be sure to check the calendar before you go; there’s bound to be any number of performances and festivities that you won’t want to miss.
