Donnafugata Golf Resort & SPA

The thing about golf resorts is that, for the most part, you don’t even have to be a golfer to enjoy them. Donnafugata Golf Resort & Spa is a case in point: set near the coast of rural Sicily, minutes from its own private beach. An expansive estate more or less goes without saying, as does a spa, a wine bar, and a handful of restaurants. Here, an hour from Catania airport, you’re surrounded by UNESCO World Heritage sites — and if, by chance, you do fancy a game of golf, so much the better: Donnafugata boasts not one but two championship-quality courses.
