Wandering Sicily’s Sensational Shores

‘Going to Sicily is better than going to the moon’
– Gabriel Garcia Marques

Set apart from the Italian mainland and boasting some of the best-preserved Greek ruins and fairy-tale scenery to complement its realm of Mythology, this is a place of wonderment, whose unique culture and traditions have remained truly Sicilian. The lure of this sun-kissed island maintained its strategic position during ancient trade routes, and as a result, has an extremely rich (and many times difficult) history, as well as extremely diverse populations and monumental architecture. Travelling here by road or sea is both humbling and transformative, as you encounter splendid panoramas and locals who are proud and eager to show you a taste of their homeland. Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of its seasonal ingredients, for culinary customs have been passed down from generations of nonnas; bursting with flavour, you’ll have to see for yourself

Palermo

The energy here is palpable and the capital of Sicily is a great bookend to your tour. Feast your eyes on the stunning Norman Royal Palace, discreet aristocratic residences, the Palatine Chapel…then surf the bustling street markets, stroll the waterfront, and cross the Quattro Canti to better understand Palermo’s cosmopolitan and artistic identity.

The perfect backdrop to a grand celebration at this 19th Century palazzo, Villa Igiea, a Rocco Forte Hotel, harkens back to a period of grandeur with Art Nouveau interiors. The lull of the seaside and tiered gardens are a welcome respite and sanctuary from the buzzing cityscape beyond its walls. Don’t miss Igiea Terrazza Bar, an atmospheric, sandstone vault.

Virtuoso travelers receive:

  • Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability
  • Daily Buffet breakfast for up to two guests per bedroom, served in the restaurant
  • $100 USD equivalent Food & Beverage credit to be utilized during stay (not combinable, not valid on room rate, no cash value if not redeemed in full)
  • Early Check-In / Late Check-Out, subject to availability
  • Complimentary Wi-Fi

South Coast

The drive along the Sicilian South Coast reveals natural poetry at its finest, as you trail along ancient wine-making traditions in Menfi, surreal white sand beaches of Porto Palo and Eraclea Minoa, gaze in awe at meringue cliffs at Realmonte, then dip into Sciacca’s thermal baths. In Agrigento, the imposing Valley of the Temples is a wonderfully preserved classical relic, and the laid-back fishing villages and endless beaches add colour to this road trip.

Relax at Rocco Forte’s Verdura Resort, a countryside spa and golf retreat, whose course is punctuated with orange and olive groves. Take advantage of their Culinary School or spend a day learning from a local insider. The 3-bed Acacia Suite is perfect for family gatherings with ample outdoor terraces for dining under the stars.

  • Early Check-In / Late Check-Out, subject to availability

Ragusa

Dating from 1693 and rebuilt after an earthquake, the magic of Ragusa Ibla lies in getting lost in its maze of quiet alleys dotted with over 50 baroque churches. Foodies delight, the delicacies are plenty at this gourmet capital, a range of flavours from minced goat and lamb pastieri, broad bean macco, caciocavallo cheese, to the unmissable chocolate of Modica and almond affucaparrinu biscuits.

After an innovative Michelin-starred tasting menu at La Locanda Don Serafino, rest your head at its connecting hotel’s Luxury Suite, expertly carved into local stone for a most unconventional experience. Enjoy wine tastings, cooking classes and farm visits.

Taormina

Arriving at idyllic Taormina takes you along a steep and scenic ascent up a rocky promontory and a serpentine road to reach this iconic perch. Originally part of the Grand Tour, revel in the picturesque views of Mount Etna, Naxos Bay, Teatro Antico, and medieval buildings which have held appeal since Roman times. Taormina continues to attract renowned writers, actors and directors seeking inspiration and solace.

Embrace the Belmond touch where you’ll be spoiled for choice with two separate properties. On the coast and away from crowds, old-world glamour resides at Villa Sant’Andrea at Taormina Mare with beach cabanas and subtropical gardens. Above is Grand Hotel Timeo, a timeless hideaway with superb alfresco dining and a Dior Spa.

Aeolian Islands

Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, considered a local’s secret on the less travelled path and flanked by two volcanoes Stromboli and Vulcano, these ‘seven pearls’ in the South Tyrrhenian Sea are a must for archaeology and seafaring lovers. From their untamed landscapes to an unchanged way of life, the timeless authenticity of this archipelago will surprise you.

Charter your private yacht as you traverse around the most beautiful bays and coves, uncovering treasures on a meandering route; soaking into Vulcano’s thermal springs, enjoying Salina’s capers and vineyards producing the best Malvasia, Panarea’s ancient rock formations and black beaches, and visiting the castle atop Lipari

You’re transported to an opulent yet unpretentious way of life, boasting a prime waterfront position that’s well away from the hoi-polloi.

Discover the Riches of Africa

We’re exploring the vastness and the contrasts of the African sub-continent this week, featuring six ways to engage with wonderful places, experiences and cultures we think you’ll adore…

Sterrekopje, Franschhoek, South Africa

So, it’s not a hotel – they’re emphatic about that – but this is certainly a place where you’ll relax and unwind entirely, while reconnecting to nature and food so fresh that it could have been harvested just minutes before you tuck in. Sterrekopje is a remote farm nestling in the foothills of the Franschhoek mountains, where over many years the natural balance of the land has been restored and cherished to make it as fertile and sustainable as possible. The biodiverse abundance means 100 different items of fresh produce are grown on-site, miles away from anywhere. You’ll be staying in an elegantly comfortable farmhouse or one of the cottages enfolded by lush nature, and while you enjoy the sanctuary you’ll be reconnecting with your soul – and looking forward to another leisurely dinner under the stars.

Eagle Island Lodge, Okavango Delta, Botswana

There are few places to match the Okavango Delta wetlands to experience a magical and satisfying safari. It’s at its very best from May to September – so think about your trip next year, maybe – when you can glide silently through the natural water channels in a traditional-style canoe, with hippos wallowing either side of you and sea eagles soaring above. This Belmond lodge, is, as you might expect, on its own private island, and the dozen beautiful tented rooms have high ceilings, huge beds and their own plunge pools. They have privacy and wonderful outlooks in equal measure. By staying here you’ll be helping projects to harmlessly separate local livestock from endangered local predators, and to save Africa’s wild dogs.

Virtuoso travelers receive:

For 2023:

  • Daily Full Breakfast for up to two guests per bedroom
  • Private dining experience for up to two guests once during stay, served on the balcony of your room or at a private location within the lodge (must have minimum value of $100 USD equivalent)
  • Early Check-In / Late Check-Out, subject to availability
  • Complimentary Wi-Fi

Serra Cafema, Kaokoland, Namibia

It’s not just animals that are rare, fascinating and in need of traveller support; it’s people too. Namibia’a Himba are some of this stunning country’s last semi-nomads. This is their wide-ranging home, an untouched wilderness of silent deserts and rushing rivers where they have learned to adapt to life alongside everything from oryx and tiny chameleons to crocodiles and zebra. Staying here helps to maintain and protect the delicate balance between all of Serra Cafema’s inhabitants. In exchange, you’ll return each day from all kinds of guided safaris – boat, walking, even quad-biking – to sultry luxury in one of eight suites built from wood, canvas and thatch, with elevated decks to watch the orangeness of the sinking sun intensify… having put away a hearty and local supper.

andBeyond Bateleur Camp, Masai Mara, Kenya

Reflecting the ambience of 1920s and 1930s classic Kenyan safaris, andBeyond Bateleur Camp boasts luxurious safari tents complete with private butler service, ceiling fans and spacious ensuite bathrooms. In close proximity to where the famous final scene of ‘Out of Africa’ was filmed, this magnificent camp is set on a private concession allowing one to explore by day or night, on foot or in a vehicle in the company of your expert safari guide. In the late afternoon, head out in open safari vehicles, and in the evenings have an exclusive experience, a night safari which offers an opportunity to seek out nocturnal wildlife.

Victoria Falls River Lodge, Zambezi, Zimbabwe

So close to the Victoria Falls that you can see the mist thrown up by that tumbling crescendo of water, you’ll be staying on Khandahar Island with epic views of the Zambesi river… and you can only get there by boat. Nature teems around you both in the water and on land, where wild elephants spend their days semi-oblivious to the admirers close by. Accommodation is in a series of specially-built treehouse suites, connected by wooden walkways to the lounge, dining area and sunset bar, and the levels of luxury are splendid. The ultimate stay is in one of the two Starbed Treehouses, built spectacularly over two levels above the tree-tops. Not one for the under-16s, mind.

A Taste of Malaysia’s Miraculous Highlights

For those who don’t yet know Malaysia, there is so much more than meets the eye. The rich multicultural history of these islands bordering the Malacca Strait invite you to reveal the depths of nature, people, and gastronomy, peeling back the many layers that exist within. Proudly representing a variety of Asian influences that requires a long checklist for foodies, the tantalising tastes of aromatic laksa, fragrant chicken rice, herbal ribs soup (bak kut teh) and nasi goreng must be experienced firsthand. Across the sea on Borneo island where orangutans reign and tropical birds flock, the rainforest is as old as the Amazon with a breathtaking biodiversity of wildlife. Scale the sacred Mount Kinabalu by dawn, encounter one of over 30 ethnic races in Sabah alone, and go scuba diving in crystal clear waters teeming with untamed marine life. Below, we share a glimpse of our favourite parts of the country…
