Sprawling resort with golf, spa, private beach, and fine dining
"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
"Spanning a huge estate on Sicily’s southwest coast, Verdura Resort felt like a chic, family-friendly retreat with modernist architecture, olive groves, citrus trees and new Hollywood Hills–style villas with private pools that are nonetheless equipped with night lights, safety plugs and baby bathtubs. Kids happily eat spaghetti al pomodoro at Liolà trattoria while professionals run sports clubs in football and windsurfing; the kids’ club organizes singing-and-dancing Sicilian Mary Poppins–style activities and toddlers can nap in a cool sleep room while parents enjoy the beach or a spa session—the spa and Irene Forte’s natural skincare were standout reasons to carve out wellness time.

"A sprawling coastal resort with 203 rooms, 20 villas (some with private pools), four restaurants, a large spa, three golf courses, and a private beach, the property sits less than an hour from the Valley of the Temples. Set on an extensive organic farm of olive, citrus, almond and other trees, the estate produces olive oil and ingredients used in an in‑house skincare line and spa treatments; families benefit from a kids club while adults can enjoy golf, dining, and a seawater‑based thalassotherapy circuit." - Laura Itzkowitz, Erica Firpo
"Tucked away in the northwest corner of the island, sprawling, 230-hectare Verdura Resort is well equipped to deliver a full-on Mediterranean holiday."
"Located on Sicily’s southwest coast between the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento and the fishing town of Sciacca, the resort is set along the Mediterranean among olive and orange groves. The resort’s 203 elegant rooms and suites boast sea views, private terraces, Sicilian art, and elements crafted by local artisans. Three- and four-bedroom villas, designed as private residences, are set on a hillside that slopes toward the resort’s private beach. Dining options include Amare for seafood, outdoor Sicilian trattoria Liolà, and Zagara, as well as the Pool Bar and all-day Granita. Two 18-hole golf courses, the East and the West, feature mountain foothills, sea views, and stunning terrain. The Golf Academy includes practice facilities, private lessons, fittings, and club rentals. The golf shop, bar, restaurants, and boutiques are located in the clubhouse. The expansive Irene Forte Spa includes an indoor lap pool, steam room, saunas, fitness studio, 11 treatment rooms, salon, and open-air courtyard. In addition, the resort will arrange cultural activities, adventures, and tours." - Travel + Leisure Editors
