Wherever your imagination leads you, Verdura Resort promises a slice of bliss tailored to your desires. 

Discover a destination perfect for the whole family, with the added space and serenity of our elegant villas.

Our Private Villas

Embrace the unparalleled peace and seclusion of our Private Villas, while the first-class amenities of Verdura Resort remain at your fingertips. Our three-bedroom villas offer spacious retreats, with sweeping views of the Verdura Golf course and the glistening shores of the Mediterranean. Open-plan layouts at both Villa Agata and Villa Smeraldo allow for a relaxed atmosphere, with light-filled living areas welcoming the whole family. 


Villa Topazio and Villa Corallo house four king-sized bedrooms, alongside a private infinity pool and terrace area, ideal for sharing sunset family dinners overlooking the horizon. Villa Corallo’s fourth bedroom remains separated from the main building with its own private entrance, for the ultimate coastal oasis. As you wake up and peel back the blinds, revel in the sparkling sea views before refuelling with a delicious breakfast, prepared by a dedicated Villa Assistant and served in the comfort of your own dining room.

Unique Experiences

For Private Villa guests, a choice of exclusive experiences awaits. Enjoy an enthralling family bike ride through beautiful Caltabellotta, along winding paths through sleepy villages and citrus groves. Or perhaps you prefer to embrace your surroundings through a rich array of culinary offerings; share in the sweet secrets of a cannoli-making class, or sit down with a picnic of local delicacies in the sun-dappled Diodoros Gardens against a stunning backdrop of Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples. 

Family-friendly Adventures

Junior guests will find ample entertainment at Verdùland Kids Club with a tailored programme of activities, from cooking and sports to arts and crafts. While the children are engrossed in play, adults are invited to spend a sun-drenched afternoon bathing in peace and quiet. Visit our tranquil Irene Spa, or practise your swing amongst our spectacular 18-hole course, with two rounds of golf included with every Private Villa stay. 

For quality time together, families can arrange a private tennis lesson, or take a trip to the playful Museo del Giocattolo where a vast history of toys inspires little ones and adults alike. Private Villa guests are also invited to savour shared moments with a complimentary family-style dinner at our colourful Liolà trattoria. 

From the fragrant delights of your welcome basket of fresh flowers and fruit to a seamless checkout, Verdura Resort’s Private Villas promise an enchanting experience for the whole family from start to finish.
