Verdura Resort

Verdura Resort a Rocco Forte Hotel, Sicily, Italy This Rocco Forte property (the first resort hotel by this premium brand) is set in rolling rural countryside against the backdrop of miles of pristine beach.

Exclusive rooms and suites are housed within either ‘Courtyard’ or ‘Landscape’ buildings, in over 500 acres, making it feel peaceful and spacious. Each accommodation type has a slick modern design and boasts every comfort together with private terraces or balconies and breathtaking sea views. There are endless activities and facilities to choose from including two championship golf courses plus a 9-hole course and a driving range, perfect for even the most accomplished players. With six floodlit clay tennis courts and a tennis academy, a full-size football pitch, a vast 60m infinity pool, a private beach with a water sports club, running and cycling tracks through lemon groves and a state-of-the-art gym, there is plenty to keep you occupied. Housed in pavilions grouped around an open-air courtyard, the 4000m² spa uses treatments using local products such as olive oil and Sicilian lemons.

Restaurants offer outstanding service and tantalising dining experiences with the signature restaurant Zagara serving Mediterranean cuisine made from only the freshest local ingredients overseen by the celebrity chef Fulvio Pierangelini. In the summer you can enjoy relaxed seafood barbecues from the Amare beach restaurant to the Liolà, a lively traditional Sicilian trattoria beneath the Medieval watchtower, with beautiful ocean views. The seaside town of Sciacca, renowned for his Carnival, and the orange groves of Ribera, sit next to the resort. The Valley of the Temples in Agrigento and the Temple of Selinunte are both just a 40-minute drive away.
