Romantic Getaway: ADLER Spa Resort SICILIA Awaits

Wander With Wonder – Discovering Wow Moments Around the World or Across the Street

Read on to discover a serene escape at ADLER Spa Resort SICILIA, where relaxation meets romance on the stunning Sicilian coast.

Small waves lapped the pale gold sand. Sea birds ran along the shoreline, searching for mollusks beneath the wet sand. The aqua sea brought occasional shells to shore for our collection. We walked towards the sun loungers, our bare feet lightly sinking into the warm sand. It was a perfect picnic spot.

We spread our blankets and ate a meal of Sicilian cheese, ham, bread, and fruit. After opening our prosecco, we toasted one another and our escape to the Agrigento region of Sicily for a wellness retreat and a renewal of romance at ADLER Spa Resort SICILIA.

We needed a break. Weeks of work punctuated with several short and busy scouting trips had left us tired and irritable, so when we were offered a retreat at ADLER Spa Resort SICILIA, we jumped at the chance to spend four days relaxing and renourishing our bodies, spirits, and devotion to one another.

The five-star spa resort is located on the west coast of Sicily, in the Province of Agrigento, 8.5 miles from the village of Siculiana. It is on an 1878-acre gently sloping hill, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea and Torre Salsa Nature Reserve.

At ADLER, pristine nature was just beyond our doorstep. We immersed ourselves in the beauty of the sea and countryside with walking trails that led directly to the beach and nature preserve. We could roam the sandy shores and explore the serene preserve, surrounded by flora and fauna that thrive in this distinctive Sicilian setting.

Rejuvenation and Relaxation at The Spa

ADLER’S spa offers diverse skin, hair, body, and spirit treatments. The services are delivered by trained professionals who prioritize environmental sensitivity. You can select individual therapies or a personalized program tailored to your needs. Medical professionals can also assist with diagnosis and treatment, supporting your wellness journey.

During our stay, Kevin treated himself to a Swedish massage. After we checked in at the reception, he was shown a cozy private room with a view of the resort’s beautiful green grounds. The treatment area had a calming and peaceful atmosphere as soon as he stepped inside. With the sound-proof walls, it felt like a true sanctuary for relaxation while the therapist worked her gentle magic. When the session was over, Kevin emerged feeling more relaxed than he had in ages.

Our Impeccable Guest Room

A wave of tranquility washed over us as we stepped into our room. We paused momentarily, grinning at the inviting large bed with crisp white sheets, plush pillows, and a thick, cozy comforter. But we were drawn to the large sliding glass door, eager to take in the view.

Our Private Deck

As we opened the sliding door, we stepped onto a spacious wooden deck overlooking beautifully landscaped grounds and the calm sea. The air was filled with refreshing salt, ocean, and earth scents. It was just what we needed—the opportunity to relax, rejuvenate, and reconnect with nature and one another.

As the moon ascended, we savored a nightcap on our deck in a large circular lounge. Occasionally, a night bird called, adding a touch of magic to the evening. The sea created a gentle soundtrack, with waves tenderly embracing the shore, reminding us of life’s beauty.

A Sensational Bath Area

The elegant bathroom featured a spacious glass shower with rain and hand-held fixtures. The ADLER bath and hair products were outstanding, but the water was the true highlight. After each shower, our hair and skin felt soft and radiant. It was a delightful experience.

The double sinks provided ample counter space for our grooming products. A beautiful wooden box contained all the necessary items for the vanity. Beneath the sink, we found a hair dryer and large, thick bath towels for wrapping up after an invigorating shower.

The ADLER bathrobes, the thickest we had ever used, were neatly folded on a bench outside the shower. The sand-colored, full-length robes with hoods could be seen everywhere during the day as guests visited the spa and pools or even for casual meals.

Food and Drink

ADLER believes in farm-to-table cuisine. It is the heart of its cooking philosophy. ADLER grows most of the delicious food served. The friendly flock of sheep provides the resort with fresh dairy and tasty meat. When they source ingredients from elsewhere, they always choose from nearby farms to ensure the highest quality and freshness. You can taste the difference.

A Toast to Sicily

The delectable wine served is a local affair. ADLER partners with Donnafugata Winery and serves their award-winning Sicilian wines. Discover wines from various regions, with a special emphasis on Sicilian wines’ exquisite flavors.

The bar has an international selection of spirits, including exceptional single-malt scotches, cognacs, and whiskeys, which promise to elevate your experience. At the restaurant or spa, savor refreshing smoothies, soothing teas, and aromatic coffee, where every sip inspires relaxation and delight.

Three Meals A Day

ADLER has two restaurants. The Seaview offers breakfast and dinner. Breakfast features a buffet with endless options, including delicious house-made sheep’s yogurt and fresh orange juice from on-site oranges. We enjoyed trying different breads daily, with the savory croissants being our favorite.

Dinner at Seaview is a delicious experience. Each evening, a new menu features meat, fish, vegetarian, and vegan options. While your entrée is prepared, you can enjoy soups, salads, pasta, bread, and a cheese buffet. After your meal, the dessert buffet offers an impressive variety to sweeten your dining experience.
