• The No.3 Resort in Continental Europe
• Golf World Top 100 Resorts in Continental Europe

Welcome to Verdura Resort: 230 hectares of sun-kissed Mediterranean coastline, countryside, spa and golf.
Olive trees, orange groves and white-sand beaches. Tennis courts, water sports, championship golf and kids’ clubs. Infinity pools, thalassotherapy and the flagship Rocco Forte Spa. Fine dining, healthy eating and world-famous local wine. Luxurious eco-architecture and organic ingredients, grown on the land. Verdura is an oasis, a centre of wellbeing, escapism and indulgence set against backdrop of charming Sicilian villages, ancient Greek and Roman sites and the beautiful, blue Mediterranean Sea.

Since its opening in 2009, Verdura Resort has been synonymous with Sicily and its nature. Encompassing an area of over 230 hectares, the 203 rooms and suites display an elegant and graceful balance between architecture and the environment by reshaping the land in a respectful and minimal way and incorporating the surroundings as much as possible. This architectural concept is still the foundation of this year’s refurbishment, overseen by Rocco Forte Hotel’s Director of Design, Olga Polizzi. The meticulous renovation, which involves most of the Resort’s rooms across all categories, brings a fresh and contemporary look and feel but keeps its roots firmly in Sicilian traditions. The rooms reflect the traditional appeal of the Mediterranean with style and sensitivity. From the yellow, orange and russet tones to the contrasts between light and shade, and from local elements such as stone and wood to handcrafted ceramics and linens, the new rooms are faithful to the materials, colours, construction techniques and the laws of nature of the island's spirit.
