Where luxury comes naturally


Exclusive and personalised experiences in southeastern Sicily


Perched atop golden cliffs lapped by the Mediterranean Sea, on a promontory facing the island of Ortigia — the beating heart of Syracuse and a Unesco World Heritage site — Minareto offers a collection of rooms, suites and villas with a unique viewpoint that can only be described as spellbinding. Entrepreneurial brothers and locals, Antonio and Cristian, have transformed this exclusive resort into a refined sanctuary of peace, fully respecting the Plemmirio Marine Reserve and surrounding natural beauty. Minareto enjoys dual access to


the sea: a fine, sandy beach offering comfort and ease, and a more “wild” rocky shoreline, the gateway to the secrets of the reserve. Here, snorkelling enthusiasts can discover hidden coves, underwater treasures and crystal-clear waters. Days at Minareto drift slowly


into relaxed evenings. Guests can enjoy a cocktail on the Ortigia Terrace — perhaps continuing to the promenade, where swings overlooking azure waters invite you to rediscover a sense of wonder. Alternatively, enjoy a moment of absolute serenity in the panoramic

whirlpool bath area, where sunbeds provide the perfect place from which watch the sunset warm the horizon. The Minareto experience


continues with a journey through flavour — from the authentic Sicilian soul of the Plemmirio Terrace to the seafood specialities of Area M, an exclusive restaurant located in Ortigia. This venue represents Minareto’s indissoluble link to the history and charm of the island. Minareto provides an opportunity


for guests to escape the crowds, without sacrificing the cultural richness of Ortigia, which is less than 10 minutes away by boat. The resort’s exclusivity lies in this perfect balance — being close enough to admire and experience Ortigia, yet protected enough to feel like a retreat.


ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS Rooms in the Deluxe category and up are a good way to fully experience everything Minareto has to offer, and Panoramic Suites with sea views and Villas are both popular. The spacious Panoramic Presidential Suite has private access to the sea and


its own solarium, where guests can enjoy true relaxation. Of the Villas, Villa Moneta di


Mare is a great option. Thanks to its generous and light-filled living spaces, it offers the ultimate sense of freedom and luxury. Guests particularly love its fully equipped kitchen, perfect for bespoke dining experiences, and the private pool overlooking the sea, where the water blends seamlessly with the horizon.
