The Heritage Collection
Sicily
Verdura Resort
Private luxury golf experiences at one of Europe's most celebrated resort destinations — two championship courses, a Rocco Forte five-star hotel, and a Sicilian coastline setting of rare beauty.
Experience Sicily,
Properly Arranged
Verdura Resort is widely regarded as one of the finest golf resorts in Europe. Our collection is designed for discerning private groups seeking two championship courses, a Rocco Forte five-star hotel, and seamless execution that reflects the resort's exceptional reputation — all within one beautifully integrated coastal estate on the south-west coast of Sicily.
Set within 230 hectares of Sicilian countryside along the Mediterranean, the resort combines championship golf with refined hospitality, a full spa, beach club, and the cultural richness of Sicily — creating a complete and deeply satisfying private golf experience.
The Collection
Unlike multi-resort tours, Verdura offers a fully integrated championship experience — two world-class courses, a five-star hotel, spa, beach club, and dining all within one estate. This ensures maximum ease, uninterrupted rhythm, and deep immersion in one of Europe's most celebrated golf destinations.

Core Programme · The Foundation
Verdura Resort
Championship resort golf, Rocco Forte luxury, and Sicilian coastal living
Verdura Resort sits on the south-west coast of Sicily, set within 230 hectares of private estate along the Mediterranean. The East and West courses were designed by Kyle Phillips and opened in 2009, quickly establishing themselves among the finest resort courses in Europe. Both layouts offer sweeping sea views, immaculate conditioning, and a strong sense of occasion throughout.
With two championship courses, a clifftop par-3 course, and a Rocco Forte five-star hotel all within one estate, Verdura delivers a level of integration and quality that is unmatched in the Mediterranean.

Designed for both golfers and accompanying guests, each itinerary can incorporate private lifestyle experiences that keep pace with the trip and are handled with the same discretion as the golf itself.

Beach Club & Coastline
Private beach club access, clifftop lounging, and the unhurried pace of the Sicilian Mediterranean — a natural complement to the golf programme.
Sicilian Cuisine & Wine
Private dining experiences, regional wine tastings, and access to some of Sicily's finest restaurants — from the resort's own kitchen to celebrated local establishments.
Cultural Sicily
Private excursions to the Valley of the Temples, Agrigento, Palermo, and the ancient sites of south-west Sicily — adding cultural depth to the programme.
Dining & Evening Atmosphere
From beachfront dining and clifftop sunset dinners to private presentation evenings and chef's table experiences, every meal is carefully considered and placed to suit the rhythm of the stay.
