NEW: Rocco Forte Private Villas
In 2021, Verdura Resort launched 20 Rocco Forte Private Villas, which overlook the resort’s sparkling bay. The new villas guarantee privacy and security for those who seek exclusive accommodation, combined with the unique services that have made Verdura Resort famous throughout the Mediterranean. Set on the hillside of the resort’s expansive grounds, the 3- and 4-bedroom villas range from 200 to 300 square metres and have large private pools set in landscaped gardens. Designed by Olga Polizzi, their architecture is inspired by Sicily’s natural beauty and incorporates the characteristic features of a traditional Sicilian baglio building: beams, flat roofs and external stairs. They’re ideal for multi-generational stays and groups of families and friends.
NEW: Verdura Resort’s spectacular new golf course
After a significant renovation project, Verdura Resort’s new East Course – its second 18-hole course – is complete and ready for action. The world-renowned golf architect Kyle Phillips returned to the site of his original design in Sicily to work his magic once more. The signature ninth hole offers trademark, incredible views across the Mediterranean, while asking some serious questions of accuracy, strategy and distance control with a slight dogleg design.
