About Verdura Resort & Rocco Forte Private Villas, Sicily
Hidden within a sprawling 230-hectare landscape, boasting olive groves, citrus orchards, and over 1.8 km of private coastline, Verdura Resort sits majestically between the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento and the town of Sciacca, on Sicily’s southwest coast. The resort seamlessly blends bold, modernist architecture with environmentally conscious design that exudes both luxury and a deep connection to Sicilian culture. Built from locally sourced materials such as stone, sand, and wood, sharp geometric lines define the resort, echoing traditional Sicilian homes.
The Resort comprises 203 rooms and suites in addition to 20 exclusive Private Villas, independent residences perched on the hillside overlooking the breathtaking bay of Verdura Resort, which are also available for guests.
In line with the Rocco Forte Hotels philosophy, the cuisine across the resort’s four restaurants is authentic to the island’s traditions. Menus celebrate the flavours of the Mediterranean diet, using simple and traditional Sicilian products, such as freshly caught fish and extra virgin olive oil from the Verdura Agricultural Society. Vegetables are sourced from the hotel’s organic gardens, including oranges, lemons, aromatic herbs, and almonds.
Enhancing the resort’s appeal is the esteemed Irene Forte Spa, sprawled across 4000m2 amidst Sicily’s natural beauty. Here, guests can unwind with rejuvenating treatments and innovative products from Irene Forte Skincare. Yet, the true gem of Verdura Resort lies in its award-winning golf course, masterfully crafted by Kyle Phillips. With two 18-hole championship courses and a 9-hole course, winding gracefully from mountain slopes to the azure expanse of the Mediterranean Sea, the Verdura Golf Club capitalises on this breathtaking terrain, establishing itself as a premier destination for golf enthusiasts worldwide.
