The Best Hotels in Sicily | Condé Nast Traveler

"Set on 570 acres of previously undeveloped beachfront, this sprawling Rocco Forte resort feels more like a private compound than a typical Mediterranean getaway, with nine- and 18-hole golf courses, a massive spa, and a rare private beach. Flavio Albanese’s stone-and-wood structures house 203 rooms furnished with deconstructed baldachin beds, custom rattan pieces, and warm printed fabrics, making the resort well suited for families—complete with a sizable kids club and child-friendly pools—as well as couples seeking an almost all-inclusive upscale experience; the grounds are still in a planting phase and the pool areas are exposed to the baking Sicilian sun, and its distance from nearby historic sites can be either a blessing or a drawback depending on what you’re after." - Rosalyn Wikeley
