Verdura Resort
9.2/10 on 231 reviews
On the southern shores of Sicily, “Verdura Golf & Spa Resort” is a five-star luxury destination, a secret new hideaway blessed by the sun and stretching to a glittering azure sea.
With world-class golf courses and one of Europe’s largest and most advanced wellbeing centres, this latest jewel of the exclusive Rocco Forte Collection takes their trademark Art of Simple Luxury to an outstanding new level.
Set amid 230 hectares of olive and citrus groves and beautiful Sicilian countryside, it is a magical place in which to relax and unwind, an excellent all-year-round location to rejuvenate body and soul.
Exceptional facilities provide the rare luxury of privacy and space: 10 meeting and function rooms, among them a great ballroom, open-air amphitheatre, 6 floodlit tennis courts, an incredible 60-metre outdoor pool with water cascades and infinity-edge views, and a unique 4,000 m2 spa centre: stunning pavilions featuring four thalassotherapy pools, state-of-the-art gym, hammam, sauna, yoga room, experience showers, 11 treatment rooms and beauty corner - offering a holistic approach to health, wellbeing and fitness, an extensive menu of tailor-made spa treatments, lifestyle, exercise and nutritional programmes.
Architect Flavio Albanese has created sleek buildings which are woven subtly into the amazing landscape, with plentiful terraces and courtyards and natural materials such as stone, sand, wood and cane which echo the traditional architecture of Sicily. The 203 rooms, among them a range of breathtaking suites, two of them with approx. 170 m2, offer uninterrupted views across the sparkling sea and the sun-kissed olive groves from their private terraces.
The elegant interiors combine striking contemporary style with traditional Sicilian motifs, a rich palette of earth tones, bright printed fabrics and locally fired earthenware blending with modern four-poster dark wood beds, artful Italian lighting and thoughtful extras.
Leading golf architect Kyle Phillips, renowned for his masterpieces in the UK, at Kingsbarn and The Grove, has designed two championship 18-hole courses and a 9-hole course, complete with clubhouse and golf-pro shop, that work in close harmony with the beautiful landscape.
Free of any buildings and with spellbinding views of the sea, they allow players to enjoy golf at its purest. Golf Director is Niall Cameron, a former player who already managed the Lyford Cay Club in the Bahamas and the Royal St George’s in Kent. This is golf on a grand scale, but with all the intimacy and character of an exclusive private members’ club.
But the Verdura Resort also makes a perfect starting point to explore Sicily: day trips to cultural highlights and lively cities, sandy coves and rolling hills with tiny villages capture the essence of the island – as well as the exclusive boutique offering traditional embroideries and lace, corals and ceramic art. And last but not least, 4 top-notch restaurants and 5 bars will take you on a delicious journey through Italian cuisine.

His Opinion: The car parking arrangement, while well understood given the physical layout of the Resort, is somewhat awkward and can be time consuming. However, we were impressed the day we departed that our car was brought to the main building without being specifically requested.
The signage along the roads in the vicinity of the Resort to guide guests to the Resort are very helpful.
The Concierge was particularly helpful with making changes to some of our hotel and airline reservations.

His Opinion: An excellent experience notwithstanding a few glitches that should not have occurred.
1. The golf was a mess. Just because we were 7 friends travelling together we were deemed to be a "group" and therefore given terrible tee times after having been bumped from originally given good tee times by another "group". This occurred as we watched that there was virtually no one on the "other" course. The rented clubs were mostly good but some of the bags were a hodge podge of mixed up clubs and the staff would not provide a proper set even though it appeared that you had such sets available and they were not given out to other guests. You are a first class resort - don't cheap out on the club rental. Give your guests the complete set of good clubs that they paid for.
2. The "endless" part was confusing. If you are entitled to one glass of wine only -say so. We were 7 people and constantly in wonder about what was or was not included in drinks at meal times. Make it SIMPLE because we or at least I, am stupid!

Merci pour votre excellent service, votre discrétion, la variété de vos restaurant, le choix de vos activités (golf, tennis, salle de sport, vélos à disposition...) et la beauté du site
Un petit bémol : vous devriez nettoyer les algues de bon matin en bord de mer car apparemment cela gène certains de vos clients...

Personnel attentionné.
Plusieurs restaurants, tous délicieux.
Sports aquatiques sur la plage qui est assez étroite mais très bien. Beau golf longeant la mer.
Vélos à disposition pour circuler sur le domaine, super!
Vacances de rêve très reposantes.

His Opinion: High Quality resort with friendly, helpful & professional staff in all areas.
Bikes are a great idea.
Overall facilities are well spread & despite large number of guests we always felt we had plenty of space and resort area options to enjoy by ourselves.
Breakfast was a little frenetic - perhaps the seating space could be enlarged.
Essential that the spa pool area remains "adults only" - a couple of times a few guests tried to invade the area with their children and thankfully staff quickly & quietly moved them on.
We had a great stay.
Consideration may be given by management to provide some type of two way shuttle bus service to Sciacca town between say 4pm - 9pm.

His Opinion: We had a wonderful family holiday at Verdura. The service was impeccable. Having our evening meals delivered to our terrace in the evening as perfect as thrm moment the food left the kitchen was one of the highlights. The range and quality of the foot on offer at Verdura is beyond compare. The staff in the kids club were relaxed and friendly so that our little tots were quickly set at ease. The style and decor of the resort makes it a pleasure to spend time there.
We travelled with our twins aged 2 and our baby aged 1 and nothing was a problem for the staff- potties, kids gowns, slippers, toys and all that we asked for arrived within moments of any request. The food on offer for children met with smiling faces.
We had a wonderful time.
We look forward to returning.

His Opinion: Seul gros reproche: la connexion wifi gratuite 24h : le pop-up n'est pas toujours facile à trouver, en fonction des systèmes utilisés et il faut la renouveler tous les jours, c'est une contrainte qui n'existe pas dans d'autres resorts 5 étoiles. Dans la zone de tarification et de classe d'hôtel du VERDURA, la connexion doit être gratuite et permanente pour les clients.
Restaurant ZAGARA bon un peu cher par rapport à la cuisine proposée, avec un service quelquefois un peu lent.
Restaurant AMARE un peu décevant mais geste commercial du maitre d'hôtel, merci.
Prévoir rideau de douche pour éviter d'éclabousser toute la salle de bains
Mieux entretenir les vélos (gonflage des roues notamment)

His Opinion: das a la carte essen in Ihren Restaurant ist unverschämt teuer
"Spaghetti pomodoro, balico, - 28:--€ , ist einzigartig in ganz Italien !!
Das Buftet - Essen sehr einfach !
Die Beleuchtung im Restaurant, Buffet ist unverständlich dnkel vielleicht will der Koch von seinem sehr einfachem und winfallslosem Buffet-Angebot ablenken.
Das Licht in de Suite ist auch sehr schwierig man findet kaum einen Platz wo man lesen kann !
Über den Service kann ich nur sagen Perfekt !!
