of the most attractive places on the Adriatic coast, but its archipelago just offshore is also a beauty that would be a shame to miss. Staff will be happy to organise for

Le Calette, your Sicilian home N


Your escape to the welcoming splendour of the Sicilian coast at boutique resort Le Calette


estled in the picturesque town of Cefalù, just


hour’s drive from Palermo, Le


Calette is named after the enchanting coves (‘calette’ in Italian) that grace the Sicilian coastline. Te hotel’s architecture harmonises effortlessly with the contours of Caldura Bay, mirroring the natural beauty of the surrounding coast. Conceived by engineer Cacciola in


the 1960s, Le Calette was envisioned as a Mediterranean escape for family and friends — a vision still carried on by the third generation of the same family. Exuding the warmth, nature, and


generosity typical of Sicilian


hospitality, today the hotel is an exclu- sive retreat where comfort and elegant design seamlessly merge with the captivating beauty of the bay it calls home. With rooms, suites and villas bathed


in natural light and sea breeze, Le Calette showcases the simplicity of Sicilian beauty, offering panoramic


an


vistas alongside spacious terraces and gardens. Local materials and historic furnishings create a unique Sicilian experience. A recent addition are nine sea-view suites with private whirlpool baths in the lush Mediterranean park: the Lotus Cabanas. Whether lounging on the king-


size beds of the beach club, kayaking around the bay, joining a yoga class among the olive trees, exercising in the underwater gym, or unwinding in the whirlpool bath and infinity pool over- looking the crystal-clear sea, guests experience unparalleled luxury amid the stunning natural


surroundings.


Treatments and relaxation pathways are available at the elegant spa and gazebo over the sea stacks. For sea enthusiasts, this year’s


exciting addition is a private boat with which guests can explore Cefalù’s beautiful beaches, visit the Aeolian Islands, or enjoy sunset aperitifs and candlelight dinners overlooking the historic centre.
