Our hotel

Verdura Resort is set on 230 hectares and nearly two kilometres of private Mediterranean coastline. With three Kyle Phillips golf courses, a 60-metre infinity pool, six clay tennis courts and much more, it is a place where buildings are subtly woven into the landscape, with a true sense of space and uninterrupted views of the azure waters. Above all, it's a place where our team delivers an outstanding level of service.
