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.

The city may not be where most people expect to find stillness. Yet increasingly, it is exactly where they are looking for it. Mindfulness has not retreated from modern life; it has woven itself into the texture of it. Here, we explore mindfulness and the rituals that transform your day into a deeper, more nurturing way of being.
This year, there's a quieter approach to wellness emerging. Something gentler. Wellbeing that requires no instruction, that can be woven effortlessly into daily life and sustained, or improved, while on holiday. The kind that leaves you feeling restored without quite knowing when it happened. Wellness that happens around you rather than to you.
The sound comes first - the soft thud of a well-struck ball, rising into a clear blue Sicilian sky. Ahead, fairways unfold in undulating greens towards the blue calm of the Mediterranean. The air is warm, perfumed with orange blossom and sea salt. There’s no rush, only a meditative rhythm: swing, step, breathe and repeat, interrupted only by the sound of waves.
