Verdura Resort

Set on a private 230 hectare estate, covering over a mile of coastline and close to the town of Sciacca, the Rocco Forte Hotels’ state-of-the-art Verdura Resort opened seven years ago.

Links golf enthusiasts will enjoy the three Kyle Phillips-designed courses which border the 2,000 metres of Mediterranean coastline – the excellent climate provides perfect conditions throughout the year. This is also a place to relax and enjoy the beautiful infinity pool, private pebble beach and world-class spa with its four thalassotherapy pools. The 203 bedrooms designed by Olga Polizzi are set in a number of single and two-storey buildings; all rooms are luxurious and spacious and have a terrace with a view towards the sea. The four restaurants make the most of the abundant natural resources of the island and whether you’re in the mood for a gastronomic candlelit dinner or a relaxed seafood lunch by the beach, the quality is exceptional. The resort’s facilities and space make it perfect for couples and families – as well as a children’s club in summer, there are tennis courts, bicycles, walking and running trails, water sports and a cooking school.
