Verdura Golf & Spa Resort is located on the south coast of Sicily near the seaside town of Sciacca, a crossroads of civilisations that has each left indelible imprint on this Italian region. Verdura is perfectly positioned to explore the island with many historical and cultural sites situated close by.

The facilities

The resort is set over 230 hectares of stunning olive groves and countryside, with 1.8km of private coastline. There are two 18-hole championship golf courses and a 9-hole; six tennis courts; a 60m infinity swimming pool; a fully-equipped gym and running trails which meander through the olive and lemon groves. The resort's restaurants and bars celebrate Sicilian cuisine with menus created from fresh organic ingredients. The Verdura Spa is exceptional - with four thalassotherapy pools, an extensive treatment menu and personalised well-being programmes.

The rooms

Furnished in a fresh contemporary style that reflects the essence of Sicily, the guest rooms at Verdura Golf & Spa Resort provide an elegant and relaxing personal space. There are 203 in total, each with its own uninterrupted view across the sparkling Mediterranean Sea from a private terrace. Natural materials such as stone, sand, wood and cane echo the traditional architecture of Sicily, and rooms make imaginative use of both outdoor and indoor space. Earth tones and bright printed fabrics reflect the character of Sicily, with a design motif inspired by a classic Sicilian tile. Bedrooms feature four-poster wooden beds, polished concrete floors and artful Italian lighting, and are decorated with locally fired earthenware. The bathrooms are naturally lit with stone vanity tops, and some have outside courtyards with fig trees.
