What it is

Flanking a gentle cove, with 70 airy rooms; a locavore restaurant and bar; a wellness spa and solarium; and a mosaic tile-lined pool that faces the sea.

What it isn't

Landlocked. Ask about their yacht tours along the Baia delle Sirene (bubbly included).

What we think

When you envision your dream Sicilian getaway, this is likely it. A stone Mediterranean-style marvel presiding over a quiet beach cove. Even the “starter” rooms here, 290 square foot Superior Rooms, are ultra luxe with their barrel vaulted ceilings, marble lined bathrooms, Nespresso machines and a terrace overlooking the bay of Mazzarò. We recommend the 398 square foot Junior Suite for its Instagrammable dream of a private balcony: you can watch the yachts bob from your breakfast table.

You're here because

Their curated experiences set your pulse racing, whether you want to ride vintage Fiat’s a la “The Godfather” or take a sunset boat tour on the bay upon your arrival.

The Moment

In recent memory, you’ve never had a meal as delightful as tonight’s on the terrace at Armònia. Maybe it’s the impossibly fresh seafood…or this cocktail, the aptly named King of the Island. But you’re in love.

Restaurants & Bars

Armònia Restaurant - With its splendid terrace, the Armònia restaurant in Mazzarò Sea Palace is run by a young and talented chef, Riccardo Fazio. Sicilian ingredients play a principal role in amazing dishes that are balanced, flavoursome and continually evolving. The cuisine is typical of Sicily, where the sea is always the main player.

Almarè Bar - On the outdoor terrace overlooking Mazzarò bay and the private beach, the Amarè bar offers cocktails based on local ingredients, as well as a wine list featuring the renowned wines of the Etna region, all accompanied by delicious appetizers.

Location

Edging a daybed-lined beach on the bay of Mazzarò, a 49 minute drive from Vincenzo Bellini Catania Airport.
