The World Travel Awards 2009 has voted Sicily’s Verdura Golf & Spa Resort as the top new spa hotel in Europe.
Verdura Golf & Spa Resort features one of Europe’s most advanced luxury well being centres, designed to ensure that a holiday can be a life-changing experience. At 4,000 square metres, the spa is one of the largest in Europe.
Set amid fragrant, sun-kissed olive groves and gardens, Verdura Spa offers a complete holistic approach to health, wellbeing and fitness. An extensive menu of spa treatments, lifestyle, exercise and nutritional programmes will leave the body revived, relaxed and rejuvenated.
Treatments are focused around the four key areas of anti-ageing, detox, rejuvenation and diet. The experienced health and therapy staff will consult with each guest and develop a personalised programme of treatments and fitness activities. Treatments can be tailor-made to concentrate on massage, golf-related exercise, diet and nutrition. Treatments such as facials and body wraps take inspiration from the island, using local ingredients such as blood oranges, lemons, volcanic mud and Sicilian seawater.
There are 11 treatment rooms and outdoor treatment spaces; a glass-walled, state-of-the-art gym with a complete range of equipment; a relaxation area; a yoga room; a double-height hammam, experience showers and sauna. It has its own four thalassotherapy pools for invigorating treatments, and a 20-metre lap pool for serious swimmers. A separate beauty area offers hairdressing, manicures and pedicures. The spa bar serves fresh organic juices and nutritionally balanced meals.
The Spa at Verdura is a destination in its own right. Guests can come for a week-long spa break, or drop in for a pedicure or post-flight massage. It is a place to revitalise the senses and relax the mind, leaving you feeling younger and more refreshed than ever.
