FROM NATURE TO NURTURE: THE PERFECT GOLF AND SPA BREAKS FOR COUPLES

Set on acres of stunning coastline overlooking the shimmering Mediterranean, Verdura Resort is a mesmerising Sicilian destination. With three championship golf courses and an indulgent spa, it’s the perfect place for an enchanting couples break.

Home to the prestigious Rocco Forte Open, Verdura Resort’s world-class golf courses are created in harmony with the verdant landscape, and offer the chance to tee off in the surrounds of nature. Whether aspirational pros or enthusiastic beginners, together couples can enhance their golfing skills with tuition from a PGA qualified professional at the Verdura Golf Academy, or simply enjoy a leisurely round on the green. Afterwards, they can cool down with an ice-cold drink at the club house Torre Bar.

From revitalising outdoor thalassotherapy pools and Finnish saunas to a state of the art fitness studio, Verdura Spa presents endless opportunities for wellness. Couples can unwind together with a calming treatment for two in their own exclusive private spa, or indulge with a facial for him and her. For a full health-inspired stay, they can complement their spa experience with our Rocco Forte Nourish program, serving flavoursome and nutritious dining options.

Evenings together are best spent admiring the beautiful ocean vista from their private terrace, before sampling fine Sicilian dishes at one of Verdura Resort’s four sublime restaurants. To get intimately acquainted with local cuisine, couples can even take a cooking class with ingredients freshly picked from Verdura’s surrounding gardens.

To venture further afield, Verdura Resort is perfectly positioned to take a romantic stroll along nearby rugged mountains and olive groves. A dizzying helicopter ride to the summit of Mount Etna and a tour of Sicily’s ancient UNESCO World Heritage ruins will make it an unforgettable escape.

Serenity in the City

Contrary to popular belief, a sense of wellbeing doesn’t have to follow a set formula. Rather, it’s simply the moments which bring you back to yourself. For some, it’s a morning swim followed by a restorative massage. For others, it’s curling up in a quiet corner with a good book, or a pause beneath a centuries-old fresco in a hushed church. In Europe’s capitals, these precious moments of calm are easier to find than one might expect. Whilst a city break is often imagined as a fast-paced affair, sometimes we discover more when we choose to stand still. 

A Romantic Weekend in Rome

Rome has been the backdrop to affairs of the heart for millennia – emperors, poets, painters, all drawn to its beauty. With its charming cobbled streets, Baroque fountains and golden piazzas, the city seems simply designed for passion. After all, you can’t spell romance without Rome. From its lofty vantage point above the Spanish Steps, Hotel de la Ville has presided over many a love story since the 18th century, making it the perfect place to begin your own.
