Sicily’s coastal Verdura resort continues to appeal to golfers looking for high-quality facilities and relaxed luxury
Verdura Resort in Sicily has been named Europe’s Best Golf Hotel at the 2025 World Golf Awards, adding to its growing reputation as one of the top golf destinations on the continent.
Located on the island’s southern coast, Verdura offers two 18-hole courses and a nine-hole short course, making it a strong option for women golfers looking for a resort that combines good golf with quality accommodation and a welcoming atmosphere. The resort’s practice facilities and coaching programmes, including access to Italy’s only European Tour Performance Institute, offer additional appeal for those looking to improve their game.
The award, voted on by industry professionals and travellers, recognises Verdura’s consistency in delivering a strong all-round golf and hospitality experience. It’s part of the broader World Travel Awards, now in their twelfth year.
Scenic Views and Playablity
The resort’s East and West courses, designed by Kyle Phillips, are known for their scenic coastal views and year-round playability. Beyond golf, guests can access a wide range of activities including tennis, padel, a private beach, and one of the best spas in the region. The Irene Forte Spa offers a mix of traditional treatments and modern wellness facilities, including indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, and hammam.
Accommodation includes 203 rooms and suites, all with sea views, and 20 private villas. Dining options range from fresh seafood by the beach to traditional Sicilian dishes, and lighter options at the Clubhouse.
For women planning a golf trip with friends or family, Verdura’s tailored packages—such as Unlimited Golf or Family Golf—offer flexibility, combining tee time access with use of the wider resort. The resort will also open its golf facilities for weekend play during the winter months (excluding festive dates), ahead of the 2026 season launch on 1 March.
