authentic and charming way.
Surrounded by olive groves and citrus plantations, the Verdura Resort is hidden away. On 230 hectares of land on the sun-drenched south coast of Sicily, the unique luxury resort of the Rocco Forte hotel group is located on 1.8 km of private coastline with white sandy beaches,
between the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento and the port town of Sciacca. With its modern architecture and design elements from the iconic fashion brand Missoni, this vacation gem creates a charming connection to Sicilian culture. Built from local materials such as stone, sand and wood, clear geometric lines define the resort, which is reminiscent of traditional Sicilian houses.
A particular highlight is the award-winning golf course designed by Kyle Phillips, with two 18-hole championship courses and a 9-hole course that meander gracefully from mountainsides to the azure expanse of the Mediterranean. 203 rooms and suites and 20 exclusive private villas with far-reaching views are available. Italian furnishings and flowing white fabrics lend the accommodation a lightness that reflects the dolce vita.
In keeping with the philosophy of Rocco Forte Hotels, the cuisine in the four restaurants is strongly linked to the traditions of the island. The menus celebrate the philosophy of Creative Director of Food Fulvio Pierangelini and indulge with freshly caught fish, organic vegetables from the hotel garden, aromatic herbs and extra virgin olive oil. The resort's appeal is enhanced by the 4,000 m² Irene Forte Spa, set amidst the natural beauty of Sicily. Active guests will find a wide range of activities on offer, from tennis and soccer to cycling and trekking routes and water sports.
