A holiday in Sicily is always all-inclusive because it takes in crystal-clear waters, cuisine that many consider Italy’s finest, breathtaking landscapes and ancient monuments. Whatever package you choose at the resort or village you book, the wonders of this island are always included.
Staying at a Sicilian resort or village is the best way to leave stress and that annoying “to-do list” feeling at home: a thoughtful staff will look after you and you’ll find everything you need for unforgettable days.
A seaside village is the ideal choice for those who want the azure waters and waves right there, to see and hear them as the first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. Yet the Sicilian countryside inland can also deliver dreamlike moments, with its incomparable tranquillity and echoes of a noble, elegant feudal past.
Beauty isn’t always exorbitantly expensive. You just need to know where to look and good resort deals can be found in Sicily too. Booking well in advance is always advisable, but that’s not always possible: in that case, try a last-minute offer.
But where to go? The region is large and the options are many: we’ve searched for you to find the best resorts and villages in Sicily from 3 to 5 stars and selected 11 of them, 6 in western Sicily and 5 in the eastern part of the island.
The western part of Sicily is served by two major airports, Palermo and Trapani, from which you can reach many of the island’s most famous tourist attractions; you can also arrive by ferry.
It’s a vast area with a great variety of beaches, landscapes and cultural attractions. This diversity is reflected in the wide choice of resorts and villages for all budgets and suited to different types of holiday.
The eastern coast of Sicily, lapped by the Ionian Sea, is a succession of highly appealing locations: splendid cities such as Taormina, Catania and Syracuse are interspersed with fashionable seaside resorts like Giardini Naxos. Nestled among these top attractions are dream-like coves and stretches of greenery that have become the scenic locations of Sicily’s most beautiful eastern resorts.
For resorts and villages in eastern Sicily, the reference airport is Catania: it’s the region’s main hub and the one with the greatest low-cost flight availability. The area is also accessible by car from mainland Italy by crossing the Strait of Messina by ferry. Thanks to good road connections, the hotel facilities are easily accessible.
In the list that follows you’ll find facilities suited to both family holidays and adults-only breaks, perhaps a romantic getaway, a week of fun with friends or a well-deserved rest for busy professionals.
