Overview

Perched on a clifftop along Sicily’s eastern coastline, this landmark hotel boasts spectacular views across the Ionian Sea, Mount Etna and Taormina’s ancient Greek theatre. It was built on the former site of a 14th century convent and has welcomed royalty and celebrities over the years. This stunning hotel has even recently featured as the backdrop to the second season of the popular TV drama series, The White Lotus. Today, it houses an impressive number of luxury rooms and suites − some with private terraces and plunge pools − as well as a spa, gym, infinity pool and several restaurants and bars – including a Michelin-starred venue.

Four Seasons Taormina, San Domenico Palace is situated in the hilltop town of Taormina, just off the main street, Corso Umberto. You will find plenty of shops, bars and restaurants in the town, and you can wander its medieval streets before stopping at the ancient Greek theatre. Take the cable car down to the scenic stretch of beach below, and follow the pathway to the tiny island of Isola Bella. The hotel is 42 miles from Catania-Fontanarossa Airport, and around 180 miles from Palermo Airport.

The elegant accommodation features contemporary furnishings, classical artwork, herringbone wooden floors, marble accents and full marble bathrooms. Rooms overlook the town, cloister, gardens, Etna or Ionian Sea, and some offer a private balcony or terrace. You can book a Sea View Premium Room with a private sea-view terrace, or upgrade to a Junior Suite with a private terrace and plunge pool overlooking the Ionian Sea.
