Verdura Resort, a luxurious Rocco Forte property on Sicily’s stunning southwest coast near Sciacca, sprawls across 230 hectares of olive groves, citrus orchards and nearly two kilometres of Mediterranean shoreline. The resort features two championship 18‑hole links-style courses, both designed by acclaimed architect Kyle Phillips. The East Course has recently been restored and is rated as Italy’s best by Today’s Golfer, while the West Course has hosted the European‑Tour Sicilian Open.

With 200+ rooms and suites—each with a private balcony or terrace overlooking the sea or golf course, Verdura combines high-end architecture with Sicilian interiors and exceptional service.

The resort features five main restaurants including Liolà for rustic Sicilian treats, Amare for beachfront seafood, Zagara for refined Mediterranean dining, L’Osteria for local wines and nostalgic dishes and Buongiorno breakfast buffet. Multiple bars include Beach, Ondina, Scirocco, Sunset, Club House and Spa Bars offering cocktails, snacks, local wines and poolside refreshments.

The Irene Forte Spa stands among Europe’s top wellness centres.

Inside, the spa also includes a 25 m indoor pool, saunas, steam rooms, a gym, and yoga studio.
