Verdura Golf & Spa Resort, Sicily
Child-friendly but never over-run by children (and those that are here are of the tame, well-behaved kind!), the beachfront Verdura Golf & Spa Resort (part of the chic Rocco Forte group) combines minimalist tranquillity with children's activities that combine to make it a top choice for luxury family holidays in Sicily.
While you relax by the gorgeous 60m infinity pool, on the beach or in the award-winning spa (also open to teens), your kids will be more than ably entertained in the football, tennis, swimming or golf academies or at the Verdùland crèche or kids' club catering for babies through to 17 year olds. Other you might head to one of the three world-class golf courses. You can also borrow bikes and tour the resort (there are 7km of cycle trails) or take a cookery lesson – both with or without the kids. There are extensive watersports facilities and tuition too.
Rooms, suites and villas have designer interiors with Sicilian motifs; the largest sleep up to nine, making the Verdura Golf & Spa Resort a great choice for a family holiday with grandparents or other families.
