Verdura Golf & Spa Resort occupies 230 hectares of Sicily’s southern Mediterranean coastline, with almost two kilometres of private shoreline running through the estate. Designed by Olga Polizzi and architect Flavio Albanese, the resort’s 168 bedrooms, 32 suites and three villa suites are beautifully appointed, with all luxury rooms and suites looking out over the sea. Dining ranges from breakfast on the terrace to seafood on the beach and Trattoria-style meals at the clifftop Liola — a natural rhythm to the day that makes time away from golf just as pleasurable as time on it.
Kyle Phillips designed two full 18-hole championship courses and a nine-hole par-3 layout that showcase Sicily’s scenery at every turn. Wide, open fairways invite attacking play, while well-placed bunkers demand accuracy — the Mediterranean glittering in the background on almost every hole. It is the kind of course architecture that keeps golfers coming back, with a Sicily golf package here combining genuine challenge and visual drama in equal measure.
The Rocco Forte spa, watersports along the private beach and world-class practice facilities — including a double-ended driving range and dedicated short-game area — round out an offering that positions Verdura firmly among the finest Italy golf resorts.
