Rocco Forte Hotels completed 124 million hotel and golf resort on the southern coast of Sicily in a small village called Verdura, near Sciacca, just over an hour's drive from the international airport in Palermo and 30 kilometres from Agrigento and the Temple Valley. The development, involving the restoration of several existing buildings on the site together with new construction, which will reflect the history and character of Sicily and the region, consist of a 200-room ocean-view hotel, two championship golf courses, a hydrotherapy spa, sports facilities and a relatively large real estate development. The Verdura Golf and Spa Resort offers a total of 200 bedrooms, including 50 suites, set into the contours of the landscape to minimise visual impact and provide stunning views of the Mediterranean,and all rooms will be at least 40 square metres and will offer the very latest facilities. In addition to the spa, there are two 18-hole championship golf courses, plus a nine-hole course. The golf club will include a restaurant, cafe-bar and retailing in addition to the normal golfing facilities. Guests will also be invited to use the private beach at the hotel. The conference centre ( eight meeting rooms) at The Verdura Golf & Spa Resort can accommodate up to 250 people in the main room.
