Italy: Verdura Resort, Sicily
A Golf and Spa Resort on Sicily's Southern Coast
Spread across Sicily's southern coastline, Verdura Resort is built at a scale most Italian hotels cannot match: 203 rooms and suites, every one with a sea view and a private terrace or balcony, alongside two championship 18-hole golf courses and a 9-hole par-3 course designed by Kyle Phillips. It reads less like a hotel and more like its own small coastal town, with enough grounds to spend a full week without leaving.
The 4,000 square meter Irene Forte Spa anchors the wellness side of the resort, alongside infinity pools and thalassotherapy treatments, while Verduland, the resort's kids club, keeps younger guests busy with cooking, science, arts and crafts, and sports, overseen by its own hedgehog mascot. Between the golf, the spa, six floodlit tennis courts, and a full-size football pitch, Verdura is built to keep a multigenerational group occupied for days at a time.
