Discover the Best
Sicily is perhaps the Mediterranean's finest destination for sophisticated indulgence: dramatic coastlines, ancient cityscapes and a culinary tradition of the highest order. At the island's leading luxury hotels, timeless elegance meets contemporary comfort — sea-view suites, the scent of lemon groves and a standard of service that anticipates your wishes before they are spoken. Stays are refined further with private beaches, discreet butlers, bespoke excursions and spa rituals drawing on local ingredients such as olive oil, sea salt and aromatic herbs. Whether you are looking for an iconic address in Taormina, a palazzo on the waterfront in Palermo or a secluded countryside retreat, Sicily's luxury hotels offer uncompromising standards, a genuine warmth of welcome and memories that linger long after you return home.

Our Selection Criteria
Ratings and standards
We focus on five-star properties and hotels with a demonstrably high standard of quality — consistently strong guest reviews and an attention to detail that is evident in everything from housekeeping to gastronomy. Our benchmark is international excellence, where comfort, service precision and the upkeep of the property are maintained to a consistently high level.
Distinctive features
Hotels that offer something beyond the ordinary take precedence — signature restaurants, rooftop bars with panoramic views, private beaches, exceptional spas, golf courses and curated experiences such as meetings with winemakers or private boat charter. It is about added value that enhances every day of your stay.
Location and surroundings
We give as much weight to location as to the interiors. Secluded coastal retreats, historic palazzi in city centres and stylish rural hideaways all qualify, provided that access is straightforward — whether by transfer, private parking or proximity to sights and bathing spots. The balance between tranquillity and easy access to things to do is central to our thinking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Taormina for iconic views, Palermo for a palazzo atmosphere and rich culture, and the southern and western coasts for secluded resort experiences with beaches and golf.
May to June and September to October offer better value, pleasant weather, warm enough temperatures for swimming and a rather more relaxed pace than the peak-season rush of July and August.
Yes. Many luxury hotels are very welcoming to families, with children's clubs, children's menus and larger family suites. That said, certain areas of the hotel and some pools may be adults-only — it is worth checking the policy before booking.
For popular restaurants, advance booking is strongly recommended, particularly at weekends and throughout the high season.
