Minareto SICILY, ITALY
Perched atop pale golden cliffs overlooking the Ionian Sea, Minareto enjoys a privileged position on a promontory facing the historic island of Ortigia. The resort is the vision of local entrepreneurial
brothers Antonio and Cristian, who have carefully shaped Minareto into an elegant retreat that respects its natural surroundings. Low-rise architecture blends seamlessly into the landscape, with generous use of glass to frame the horizon and materials drawn from the region, including volcanic stone from Mount Etna and white limestone from Siracusa. Gardens and terraces shaded by olive trees
surround the property, offering pockets of greenery and calm throughout the day. Direct access to two private beaches, one sandy and one rocky, allows guests to move easily between swimming, sunbathing and exploring hidden coves that can be reached by boat. The coastline here remains largely untouched, with crystal-clear waters that reveal the rich marine life protected within the reserve. Days are spent relaxing on the private cliff
terrace, cooling off in the infinity pool or wandering
along the shoreline. For moments of deeper relaxation, panoramic terraces with whirlpool baths and sunbeds provide one of the most captivating sunset viewpoints along the coast. Dining is an essential part of the experience.
Plemmirio Terrace Restaurant serves Italian classics and Sicilian specialities throughout the day, all enjoyed against a backdrop of sweeping sea views. A short boat taxi journey of just 12 minutes leads to Area M, Minareto’s seafood restaurant on Ortigia, where freshly prepared fish and shellfish celebrate the flavours of the Ionian Sea. Signature experiences add a memorable layer
to each stay. Candlelight dinners transform the cliffside into a romantic scene beneath the stars, while immersive cooking classes invite guests to explore Sicily’s culinary traditions beyond the plate. Minareto’s uniqueness lies in the balance of being
close enough to admire Ortigia and experience its baroque streets, local markets and ancient ruins, yet secluded enough to be able to detach oneself from it and relax completely.
