Accommodation & Leisure
Situated on the sprawling Donnafugata
Manor, close to Ragusa and only an hour
and twenty minutes’ drive from Catania
Airport, this resort offers access to pris-
tine beaches and historic conservation
areas, as well as refined 5* luxury and
two wonderful golf courses.
There are four neighbouring UNESCO
World Heritage towns nearby: Ragusa
Ibla, Modica, Noto and Scicli remain
beautifully preserved in the Sicilian
Baroque style.
Donnafugata Golf Resort and Spa, as
you might expect of a five-star facility,
has just about every amenity you could
wish for, with three restaurants, two bars,
state-of-the-art fitness centre, swimming
pool, hydro massage, Turkish bath,
sauna and a full menu of spa treatments.
The spacious guestrooms are well
equipped, with wi-fi access, satellite TV,
safe and minibar.
Golf
Donnafugata’s two fantastic courses, the
Parkland and Links, were laid down by
Gary Player and Franco Piras respec-
tively. They are very different in nature
and complement each other beautifully,
providing the golfer with much needed
variety on their Italian golf holiday.
Player’s Parkland Course is awash with
carob and olive trees, which are
indicative of the region, and hosted the
2011
Sicilian Open which is testament to
the quality of the Black Knight’s creation.
The Links course, meanwhile, features
very few trees, enjoys several
panoramic views towards the sea and
offers a completely different test of golf
that is akin to that of the age old links
classics of the UK & Ireland.

Accommodation & Leisure
Befitting of this five-star experience,
Verdura is home to two championship
golf courses designed by world famous
architect Kyle Phillips, whose previous
work includes the likes of Kingsbarns
and The Grove. Both courses defy their
youth and draw on ancient heritage
from classic Scottish links courses.
Each of the 203 exquisitely designed
rooms and suites offers an unobstructed
view of the beautiful Mediterranean Sea.
With a range of rooms on offer from
elegant Deluxe Rooms to the opulent
Presidential Suite, golf holiday makers
will find themselves catered for to the
very highest level after their golf has
finished.
Although golf is the main attraction at
Verdura, those wishing for a relaxing
break can enjoy a wealth of activities
during time away from the course. The
spa itself is one of the most comprehen-
sive in Europe, where guests can enjoy a
range of treatments using local produce
from the Island.
Golf
Both the East and West courses
measure in excess of 7,400 yards, and
ensure golfers of all abilities will have
the full repertoire of their golfing
armoury tested. With dramatic coastline
vistas and impressive natural
landscapes, Verdura has been created
with tournament golf in mind, however
given the range of tees on offer golfers
can play the courses at a length suitable
to them.
Be sure to take your camera on the golf
course with you, the views from the
ocean holes will be the best snap of
your holiday!
