5 Star Super Luxury Hotel
Exclusive member since: 2020
Location: Taormina in Italy
It is fitting that Belmond Villa Sant'Andrea was born in the 1950s as a hidden hideaway. Situated on an idyllic stretch of the Sicilian coast, this ancient villa oozes glamour and old-world charm. There is something special in the air: relaxing in such a magical setting gives new meaning to the phrase "la dolce vita".
A stay at Belmond Villa Sant'Andrea is like reconnecting with long-lost friends. We preserve the personality of an elegant private residence: you'll be greeted with fresh homemade lemonade when you arrive, and the open-air breakfasts offer a bounty of hand-picked local fruits. It is these small details that will help you immerse yourself in a world of calm, as soothing as the sound of the ocean. Balconies are bejeweled with bright geraniums and lush terraced gardens that lead to our picturesque pebble beach.
The bays here are rich in enchanting caves to discover and beautiful small islands to explore. A thin strip of sand connects the beach to Isola Bella. Walk and visit the nature reserve or enjoy the solitude of its rocky beaches. The Ionian Sea is rejuvenating. Floating sailboats add to the heavenly feel of the place.
Apart from our private beach, there is also an exclusive stretch that houses six luxury cabanas. With shaded loungers and sofas, they are charming little hideaways. If you prefer your water a little warmer, our heated infinity pool is irresistible. Enjoy breathtaking ocean views as the sun dips below the horizon.
As night falls, make the most of your surroundings by dining on the terrace. Or let us arrange a private dinner on the beach; musicians will cruise the bay just to serenade you.
Oliviero's restaurant serves regional dishes that let local ingredients shine. Chef Aniello cooks seafood freshly caught in our water; swordfish and sardines are always a favorite. Our sommelier knows the perfect wines to pair with them. He recently won the award for best sommelier in Italy and has an encyclopedic knowledge of excellent regional wines. Don't leave, of course, without trying Chef Michele's pastries. The cannoli, a local delicacy made with sheep's milk ricotta, are little bites of heaven.
After dinner, head to our open-air bar, where DJs create a vibrant scene. With the sea crashing on the shore, there's no dance floor like it. Cocktail in hand, dance the night away as the stars twinkle overhead.
