Belmond Villa Sant'Andrea, Taormina, Italy

Belmond Villa Sant’Andrea

Boutique
Sicily, Italy

Set on its own exclusive beach, beside the most beautiful coastline, Belmond Villa Sant’ Andrea overlooks the aquamarine sea.

Built by an aristocratic family in 1830 among lush, subtropical gardens, this secluded retreat retains all the charm of a private residence.

The hotel has its own stretch of sand on the secluded Bay of Mazzaro. Crystal clear waters teem with marine life. Go for a swim and discover one of many caves tucked around the bay. Relax at the beach with your favourite newspapers and magazines. Hire a private beach cabana and retreat to a personal sanctuary beside the azure sea. The heated infinity swimming pool is spectacularly located by the edge of the bay. There are a fitness centre and a hammam.

Hotel guests can enjoy a complimentary daily boat tour. Spend a few hours soaking up the sun as you cruise around the stunning Sicilian East Coast and the Ionian Sea.
