From clifftop hotels carved into the rock face to boutique hotels in the heart of historic Taormina; discover the best resorts and hotels in Sicily with Kuoni
Sicily holidays are all about history, heat and hideaway hotels, whether you’re looking for an award-winning spa hotel like Verdura Resort on the south west coast or a luxury boutique hotel in the heart of historic Taormina (we love Excelsior Palace Hotel just outside the Porto Catania, and Hotel Diodoro Villa, surrounded by beautifully maintained and fragrant Mediterranean gardens). If you have a desire for landscapes scattered with olive trees and vineyards, Grand Hotel Miramare, a romantic hillside villa looking out over the bay of Isola Bella is the spot. Similarly for sun-drenched seaside escape, the Belmond Villa Sant’Andrea has its own private beach, and the UNAHOTELS Hotel Capotaormina features an extraordinary design – the main building perched atop the headland; the seawater pool and outdoor terraces carved into the rock face; and a secluded private beach tucked into the foot of the cliff (with a lift to whisk you down).
