Property details

Beach activities and Sicilian cuisine at a family-friendly hotel close to southern Sicily’s beaches and most attractive cities – includes breakfast and dinner
  • Beachside living: The stylish VOI Marsa Siclà Essentia is a one-stop destination for an exciting, scenic and relaxing refuge. The contemporary digs are a short, 1.4km walk through pretty dunes to the beautiful stretch of private sandy beach in Sampieri. While away whole days on a sun bed, alternating between refreshing dips in the sea and sunbathing sessions, listening to the soundtrack of the waves gently breaking on the shore.

  • Italian cuisine: Daily buffet breakfasts are served in the main restaurant, Il Bagilo Central Restaurant. You can also head here for Italian buffet lunches and dinners, with a number of traditional Sicilian specialities. Open for dinner, the Grill e Pizzeria Timilia is a big hit – pizzas are prepared on site in the wood-fired oven using ‘00’ flour, and can be served with a selection of Sicilian craft beers. The Pool Bar also serves breakfast, plus brunches including traditional Sicilian granita. If you’re at the beach, look out for the hotel’s Beach Bar, where you can get drinks, snacks and gelato.

  • Wellness while away: The large 1,000-square-metre swimming pool is a great place for guests of all ages, separated into swimming lanes, a dedicated children’s area and a solarium with umbrellas and sun beds. There’s a range of yoga classes, an all-weather tennis court, padel court and an outdoor fitness area with cardio and isotonic machines. The Thalasso space is the hotel’s spa circuit, featuring a variety of heated seawater pools and soothing massage jets.

VOI Marsa Siclà Essentia, Contrada Torre Samuele, 97018 Sampieri, Italy

The south of Sicily is an open-air history lesson, with plenty of Baroque cities to enthral budding history buffs. Modica’s medieval centre and spectacular cathedral will make you feel as though you’ve stepped back in time, while UNESCO-listed Noto looks like the film set for an ancient biopic, its elegant streets baking in the hot Sicilian sun. Stay refreshed with bowls of icy granita and ruby-red glasses of blood orange (or Aperol spritz for grown ups) and enjoy a quieter side to one of Italy’s most popular holiday destinations.
