Verdura Resort, a Rocco Forte Hotel

There are seafood restaurants and then there’s Amare. Walk across the sand and step inside, listening as the waves lap against the shore, and settle in for a night of sublimely fresh seafood on the beachfront.

Order the catch of the day, brought ashore by local fishermen that day, and ask for it served grilled or ‘crudo’, just as they’ve enjoyed it for generations in surrounding Sicilian fishing villages—thinly sliced, anointed with local extra virgin olive oil, juice from citrus fruits grown nearby, and a pinch of rock salt. Peruse the menu, with its fresh salads and sensational pasta dishes, and watch the sky light up with colour as the sun sets over the Mediterranean.

Enjoy your breakfast with a side of Sicilian sunshine and views out over the Mediterranean. With a spacious, light-flooded indoor dining room and an outdoor terrace that spills out towards the stunning infinity pool, Buongiorno is a sensational place to start the day.

Relaxed and rustic, Liolà is a typical Sicilian trattoria. The restaurant has its own pizzeria and a large outdoor terrace, offering stunning clifftop views over the sea.

The original meeting place, osterias were where locals would gather for a game of cards over lively conversation. Later, they became spaces to share a simple, homemade meal between generations of friends and family. Welcome to Verdura Resort’s osteria, where life’s simple pleasures – nostalgic food, local wine and good company – meet true Italian hospitality. Relaxed dining at any time of day.

The Japanese art, precision, and dynamic flavours combine with the freshest seasonal ingredients and rich culinary tradition of Sicily.

With its sweeping views over our serene infinity pool and the glittering Mediterranean beyond, Ondina is made for unwinding over a laid back lunch, surrounded by beauty.

With a glamorous dining room and an atmospheric outdoor terrace that offers views out towards the sea, Zagara combines elegant design and the natural beauty of Verdura to stunning effect.

Theatrical mixology that blends island folklore with ingredients from the surrounding land and sea. A terrace made for enjoying a sundowner, or perhaps for stargazing with a nightcap.
Handpainted walls recall the movement of the Scirocco wind and the shape of an idea before rules take hold. The creative vision of Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen, given form by artist Phyllis Clair Smith.
Freeflowing expression, unexpected and full of potential.

Golden hour finds its rhythm here. Seated on the piazzetta beneath the ancient watch tower, a spritz or crisp glass of wine in hand, time slows. The perfect spot to unwind, with the sea stretching out before you, shimmering in sun-warmed hues.
