Overview

Verdura Resort is one of the Mediterranean's most complete destination golf resorts, set along Sicily's southern coast on a vast private estate overlooking the sea. With expansive grounds, multiple championship courses, and a destination-level spa, it delivers effortless luxury with space to breathe (check resort availability).

Late spring and early summer are ideal — warm but not oppressive, with cooling sea breezes and long daylight hours that stretch the day beautifully.

  • Best time to visit: Late spring and early summer for warm temperatures, sea breezes, and long daylight hours.
  • What to pack: Golf attire, resort casual wear, beachwear, light layers for evenings, comfortable shoes for coastal walks, and sun protection.

Where to Stay

Rooms and suites are contemporary and light-filled, many with private terraces overlooking the Mediterranean or rolling fairways. Interiors blend Italian elegance with relaxed coastal design — refined but never formal.

The resort layout allows couples to move easily between accommodations, golf, spa, and dining without disruption (check resort availability).

Golf

Verdura features two championship 18-hole courses and a 9-hole executive course, all routed along the coastline with constant sea views and strategic design.

  • Championship layouts with ocean exposure
  • Wide fairways and firm Mediterranean turf
  • Consistently top-ranked in Europe
  • Ideal late-spring playing conditions

Whether you both play or one partner chooses spa time instead, golf here feels immersive, scenic, and unhurried.

Day Spa

The Verdura Spa is one of the largest and most comprehensive wellness centers in Italy, focused on holistic health and deep relaxation.

  • Thalassotherapy pools
  • Sauna, steam, and thermal circuits
  • Couples' treatment suites
  • Mediterranean-inspired wellness rituals

Spa afternoons pair perfectly with golf mornings, especially as temperatures warm later in the day.

Dining

Dining highlights Sicilian flavors — fresh seafood, citrus, olive oil, and local wines — served across elegant yet relaxed venues.

Evenings are slow and romantic, designed for shared plates, sunset light, and lingering conversation.
