Verdura Golf & Spa Resort is the latest of The Rocco Forte resorts to open. The exciting five-star resort which opened in May 2009, loves families as much as the native Sicilians do, and strives to offer a family holiday experience, as energetic or relaxing as individual family members want it to be.

Facilities at the resort include three golf courses, a 60-metre, two-tiered swimming pool and a separate children’s pool for novice swimmers, a spa and fitness centre with quiet lap pool, six floodlit tennis courts, a private, 1.8km beach with sailing and windsurfing, and bicycles and other games, such as Sony Playstations. There’s also a children’s DVD library.

Verdura Golf & Spa Resort is located an hour’s drive from Palermo airport and well-situated for exploratory outings into and around Sicily. Sciacca is the nearest, picturesque town, still a working fishing port.

The Rocco Forte Collection was established in 1996 to create a group of luxury hotels in Europe.  The hotels have individual styles, with each hotel reflecting its nationality and location.
