On Sicily’s southwest coast, close to the ancient temples of Selinunte and Agrigento, Verdura Resort sits between olive groves and the Mediterranean. It is a composed, expansive retreat — defined by coastline, open space and access to some of the island’s most significant cultural sites.
7 nights at Verdura Resort, a Rocco Forte Hotel, on Sicily’s southwest coast. Contemporary rooms and suites, exceptional sports facilities and confident Sicilian dining create a well-balanced Mediterranean escape. From €2,459 per person.
Verdura spans 230 hectares of private coastline and countryside, offering rare space on Sicily’s southwest coast. Days move easily between beach, pool and open grounds, with the Mediterranean never far from view.
Its setting places you close to the Greek temples of Selinunte and Agrigento, as well as baroque towns and small fishing villages — making it as much a cultural base as a coastal retreat.
On the resort, the balance feels natural. Younger guests gravitate towards football, tennis and swimming academies, while adults divide time between championship golf, the Irene Forte Spa and relaxed, ingredient-led dining shaped by Sicily’s seasons.

Sea-view rooms offer the best evening light. For families, interconnecting rooms provide flexibility. Pair a morning at Selinunte with a relaxed coastal lunch nearby — the scale of the ruins is best appreciated early in the day.
