Verdura Resort, a Rocco Forte Hotel
Sicily, Italy
About the hotel
"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."
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. This translates to guestrooms that feel artsy and chic and capitalise on natural materials and earthy tones to create comfortably contemporary spaces.

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. This translates to guestrooms that feel artsy and chic and capitalise on natural materials and earthy tones to create comfortably contemporary spaces. Despite the resort’s size (there are 168 rooms, 29 suites and 6 villas in all), 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, Verdura Spa is blissfully serene. 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.
