SimplyAbuDhabi XLVII

Guest Rooms Verdura’s 203 rooms and suites, and 20 private villas, are sanctuaries of calm and comfort, each with panoramic sea views and private terraces. The design is a dialogue between Sicilian tradition and contemporary luxury: polished concrete floors, dark-wood four-poster beds draped with muslin, and vibrant ceramics. Bathrooms are flooded with natural light, featuring generous bathtubs and Irene Forte Skincare amenities crafted from the estate’s own botanicals. Classic Suites, at 60 square metres, offer serene sea vistas from a sun-lounger on your terrace. Grand Suites and Villas elevate the experience with private courtyards, pools, and dining areas perfect for family gatherings or sunset aperitivi. Every detail—from the soft hues inspired by maiolica tiles to the bas-relief Sicilian motifs at your door—speaks to a deep respect for local heritage and a commitment to guest comfort. Expect immaculate cleanliness, plush bedding, and thoughtful touches such as twice-daily turndown service. The tranquillity is palpable, with only the sound of the sea and birdsong to accompany deep rest. Hospitality Service at Verdura is both polished and heartfelt, a reflection of the Forte family’s four generations in hospitality. Staff are multilingual, attentive, and genuinely invested in making each stay memorable. From the concierge’s bespoke excursions— wine tours, archaeological adventures, or private flights over Mount Etna—to the spa therapists’ personalised wellness journeys, every interaction is infused with warmth and professionalism. General Manager Giulio Polegato describes the philosophy succinctly: “Our guests are always searching for something exclusive, where they can enjoy a peaceful corner, where they can live experiences.” This philosophy is evident in the seamless orchestration of everything from romantic getaways to major corporate events, and in the way staff remember guests by name.
