"Perched on the crescent-shaped pebble shore of Mazzaro Bay, this five-star seaside retreat occupies a refurbished 1960s villa and offers 68 rooms and suites that emphasize contemporary Mediterranean luxury with sand-and-blue palettes, hand-painted tiles, sea-themed ceramics, and polished finishes. Public spaces and a fourth-floor lobby frame cinematic sea views, while accommodations feature sleek, plush furnishings, glossy marble bathrooms stocked with hemp toiletries and private terraces overlooking the water — some with plunge pools. Ground-floor amenities include a pool, a serviced beach with sun beds reserved for guests, bars and restaurants that prioritize local, sustainable ingredients (including produce from a rooftop garden), a spa offering lifting facials and Mediterranean body rituals, a fitness center, valet parking and a concierge that arranges experiences such as helicopter excursions to Mount Etna and sunset sails. Nearby attractions include Isola Bella, the Taormina cable car and the Teatro Antico; rooms typically start in the mid-hundreds per night and the property is positioned as an upscale, contemporary Sicilian seaside escape."
