Stunning 5* Sicily beach retreat
La Plage Resort, Taormina, Italy
Property details
- Sicilian slow-living: Indulge in sun-kissed dolce vita days at La Plage Resort, an exclusive five-star retreat nestled in an enchanting cove. Framed by lush pine trees and fragrant Mediterranean vegetation, this idyllic spot sits within Taormina’s Isola Bella Nature Reserve, so-called after the picturesque islet that lies just a stone’s throw from the resort’s private beach. While away your hours at the beach club as the sea laps gently against the shore, before retreating inside for airy whitewashed spaces that ooze discreet maritime luxury.
- Seafront savouring: Sicilian flavours meet Mediterranean haute cuisine at the magnificent Fusion Restaurant, an elegant yet laid-back eatery featuring a stunning outdoor terrace with dreamy views of the sea and Isola Bella. Elsewhere, culinary tradition takes centre-stage at Pietra Marina Restaurant, where offerings range from mouthwatering seafood to rich rice and pasta dishes. And for ice cream, coffee and cocktails, you won’t want to miss the beachfront Fusion Bar.
- Spa serenity: Immerse yourself in a world of tranquillity at the luxurious ExPure Spa, a soothing oasis crafted for ultimate relaxation. You’ll find a maxi Jacuzzi to bubble away in after a session in the Turkish bath, as well as a relaxation area and herbal tea corner to unwind in when you’re done. And with healing thermal and water-based circuits plus a range of top-notch treatments on offer, you’ll leave feeling utterly refreshed and restored.
How to get there
Located in Taormina on Sicily’s eastern coast, La Plage Resort is about an hour’s drive north of Catania’s Vincenzo Bellini Airport, and the resort offers an airport shuttle service for an additional fee.
