Verdura Resort, Sicily - A Rocco Forte Hotel

Found in Sicily, the island forming the football being kicked by the boot of Italy, Verdura Resort matches the uniqueness that its setting is famous for.

203 rooms at the resort all offer guests fabulous views across the Mediterranean while staying in stylishly decorated accommodation, with traditional Sicilian architecture and local natural materials being used.

Sicilian food embodies the island's uniqueness, reflecting not just the obvious Italian influence, but also that of its former Norman and Arabic occupiers as well. Four different restaurants offer this, plus other Italian fare. The resort's five bars ensure guests' thirsts are sufficiently quenched throughout the day.

Swimming is something to be enjoyed at the Verdura, with 1.8km of coastline and 60m of swimming pool available. The Spa is also an outstanding location for relaxation.

Something the resort prides itself on is its golfing opportunities. Kyle Phillips, designer of the world-renowned Kingsbarns, has designed the resort's two 18 hole courses and one 9 hole course. There is also a Golf Academy, driving range, and putting and chipping greens.
