Spa Holiday On The Aeolian Islands

With their volcanic origin of the islands, spa treatments here often revolve around the use of rich natural mineral water, and many of our luxury hotels in Sicily and the Aeolian Islands feature outstanding spas. In the Aeolian Islands, our hotel of choice is the Therasia on Vulcano. Not only does it feature a comprehensive and luxurious range of treatments, visitors can enjoy great views out over the rest of the islands.

 

Honeymoon In Sicily

With their mixture of high class living, fine cuisine and glorious scenery, Sicily and the Aeolian Islands are ideal honeymoon destinations. We recommend basing yourself at Grand Hotel Mazzaró, one of our finest luxury hotels in Sicily. Placed above the little bay of Mazzaro, you can enjoy candlelit dinners on the restaurant terrace, walk in the surrounding countryside, or just relax on the private beach.

 

Sicilian Cuisine

Sicilian cuisine is a delicious blend of Arabic, Spanish, Greek and Italian cooking styles, and any luxury holiday to Sicily should sample some of the regional delicacies. We recommend a visit to the restaurants in the delightful town of Taormina – look out for arancini and caponata, best accompanied by a bottle of the famous Marsala wine, grown on the slopes of Mount Etna.
