Holidays In Verdura Golf & Spa Resort Sicily

Six years in the making, the long anticipated Verdura Golf & Spa Resort is the latest addition to the Rocco Forte collection, and is set to become Sicily’s most prestigious and luxurious resort. The ultimate place to relax and unwind, the resort offers exclusivity, privacy, and exudes an air of elegance & refined simplicity. Located on the south coast of Sicily near the small village of Verdura, the development rolls across a vast area of stunning terrain, and consists of several ancient buildings, which have been sympathetically restored, using traditional materials, including volcanic tufa, cane and timber. The Olga Polizzi interiors are a blend of modern and traditional, with warm, earthy tones, designed to reflect the natural landscape.

The Resort offers two 18-hole championship golf courses, plus a 9-hole course and driving range, designed by golf course architect Kyle Phillips, who also designed the acclaimed courses of ‘Kingsbarns’ near St. Andrews, and ‘The Grove’ in Hertfordshire. A team of PGA-qualified professionals are available for group or one-to-one tuition, with tailor-made programmes to suit all ages and abilities. A full range of golfing equipment can be hired at the Clubhouse and electric golf carts are also available for hire. Built around a small piazza, the Clubhouse includes changing rooms with showers and lockers, lounge, pro-shop, boutiques, cafĂ© bar, and a restaurant.
