San Domenico Palace

With panoramic views across the glittering Taormina Bay, the luxury resort and spa was originally expanded in 1896 to become one of the most iconic hotels in Sicily, attracting some of the world's most prestigious guests, including Oscar Wilde, King Edward VIII, Sofia Loren and Elizabeth Taylor.

Award-winning dining

Headed up by award-winning chef Massimo Mantarro, the hotel's signature restaurant Principe Cerami offers a veritable feast of quintessential Sicilian cuisine, rooted in local traditional dishes, with an innovative twist, coupled with excellent wine pairing showcasing some of Sicily's finest vineyards.

For those looking for lighter bites, head to Anciovi on the hotel's poolside terrace, where guests can enjoy a range of delectable Mediterranean seafood dishes. Expert mixologists are also on hand at the poolside bar serving up exceptional cocktails inspired by Sicily's eclectic heritage.

For 24-hour dining, the hotel also offers the indoor/outdoor Chiostro bar & lounge in the beautiful surrounds of the Grand Cloister, serving a range of coffees, cocktails and light meals of Sicilian and classic international dishes.

Indulgent spa experience

As you might expect from a 5-star hotel, the San Domenico Palace also offers guests the opportunity to indulge their inner senses at their Spa Serenity, featuring an extensive menu of luxurious pampering options, including massage, facial and body treatments. There is also a fitness center in the hotel's basement for those wishing to stave off the pounds while on vacation. 

In addition, hotel patrons have access to the hotel's cliff top infinity pool located nearby, with superb views across the bay.
