Befitting of this five-star experience, Verdura is home to two championship golf courses designed by world-famous architect Kyle Phillips. With the likes of Kingsbarns and The Grove already amongst his past successes, Phillips has set about creating a golf experience which defies its youth and draws on ancient heritage from Scottish links courses normally found along the East Lothian coastline. Considered to be one of the best golf resorts in Europe, Verdura is a golf holiday in Italy that delivers above and beyond travellers expectations year after year.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Sicily’s charming coastline, Verdura is a paradise for golfers looking to enjoy the epic Mediterranean sun. As Sir Rocco Forte’s first golf resort offering, Verdura Golf Resort and Spa has set out its stall amongst the very finest of golf holiday destinations. The accommodation is the picture of 5-star luxury, with enchanting ocean vistas and the beach just metres away.

Verdura Golf and Spa Resort accommodations are of the very highest specifications and the property has won numerous awards and accolades, including 'Italy's Best Golf Hotel' at the 2015 World Golf Awards. Each of the 203 exquisitely designed rooms and suites offer an unobstructed view of the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. With a range of rooms on offer from elegant Deluxe Rooms to the opulent Presidential Suite, golf holidaymakers will find themselves catered for to the very highest level after their golf has finished.

Food and beverage options at Verdura Golf and Spa Resort consist of four restaurants and five bars, each in their own unique setting with terraces overlooking the scenic hills. Celebrity chef Fulvio Pierangelini runs the hotel’s Mediterranean restaurant, Zagara, building a substantial menu from all the natural ingredients available. The beachfront Amare Restaurant serves fresh off the boat seafood while other dining options include Liola, serving Trattoria style food, Granita for snacks and cocktails, Buon Giorino for breakfast and the clubhouse Torre Bar which is ideal for a buffet lunch after golf.

Although golf is often at the forefront of anyone visiting Verdura, those wishing for a relaxing break can enjoy a wealth of activities away from the fantastic golf courses. The spa itself is one of the largest and most comprehensive in Europe, with 11 treatment rooms as well as outdoor treatment space, guests can enjoy a range of treatments using local produce from the Island.
