As a friend of Rocco Forte Hotels, we think it’s fair to say you enjoy the finer things in life and that likely extends to everything that makes it into your golf bag.
While there are a few manufacturers dominating the golf club market, here we look at a premium, handcrafted product from Japan, a country that is known for its fine handcrafting skills and workmanship.
At Verdura Resort, our acclaimed chefs believe in selecting the finest produce the island of Sicily has to offer and it’s no different for the engineers at VEGA Golf. The first collection of golf irons was produced by an expert craftsman who learnt his trade in Kobe – a city renowned for metal works, and the finest Samurai swords in Japan. VEGA harnessed his unique craft to create golf clubs of unmatched quality, from the very first range they launched years ago. Since then, they have continued to source the purest materials and leading manufacturing processes from all corners of the globe, with a relentless pursuit of excellence we admire.
VEGA’s new Mizar and Mizar Pro irons have just left the factory and promise to be their finest collection of irons to date and an ideal match for Italy’s number one golf resort.
Donato Di Ponziano, golf development manager at Verdura Resort, said: “VEGA is a company that prides itself on quality and delivering the best possible products in everything they do. It is a concept that is the same as the one you’ll find in our golf offering at Verdura.”

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.

There’s a certain clarity that comes from swimming in the open air. Whether in the stillness of a moorland reservoir, the salty waves of a sunlit beach, or a shaded city river, wild swimming reconnects us to something elemental. Close to our hotels, these wild swims lie within easy reach, beautifully unfiltered, yet just far enough to feel like a world apart.
