Quieter, plush alternatives to ‘The White Lotus’ hype in Sicily.

Travel Research: Luxuriant Sicilian Hideaways

Our Curated Recommendations


Sicily, Southern Italy’s mafioso island darling offers a bounty of indulgences, from deeply intoxicating wines, gilt antiquities, crisp cannolis, chilled almond granitas, and warm seaside vistas. There are a number of luxurious resorts and hotels on the Mediterranean's largest island, with the Four Seasons being largely sold out with overzealous viewers of ‘The White Lotus.’ In this guide, we look beyond the influencers, at five of our favorite, slightly more subdued, luxury getaways. From the expensive and famous cliffside resorts of Belmond, to smaller boutique gems in the south, be inspired by these plush hideaways.
