The suites are built inside ancient dammuso structures, each different in layout but sharing the same attention to detail and design sensibility. Elegant traces of the island's history are found throughout, from the white vaulted ceilings to the interplay of metals, glass, and fine fabrics, all of it creating an artistic and emotional experience tied to the nature of the island.

Agent Tips

  • Ask about a boat tour along the coast on board the private Sikelia vessel, a great way to discover Pantelleria's hidden coves.
  • Don't miss a visit to Coste Ghirlanda Wine Estate, a vineyard belonging to the same property, just a short trip from the retreat.
Accommodations

Shaped by the wild nature of Pantelleria.

Sikelia's twenty suites are organized across six categories, each defined by position, views, and architectural character, with natural materials that are reminiscent of the wild nature of the island. The categories group the suites according to their position and views within the hotel’s structure.
Pool

A place to relax in the Mediterranean sun.

There is a pool in the middle of Sikelia Resort, a quiet and cozy spot that's perfect for kicking back during the hottest hours of the day with a book—or cocktail—in hand.
Spa

Customized treatments for restoration.

Sikelia's Mini Spa pairs an intimate massage room with an Arabic garden, a quiet and unhurried setting where the therapist works with you to customize your treatment. Afterward, settle in with a herbal tea of your choice.
Restaurant + Bar

Sicilian tradition

Sikelia has two dining settings to choose from. Themà sits beneath the hotel's central palm grove and serves lunch and dinner rooted in Sicilian tradition, with original ingredients woven throughout. For something more immersive, L'Officina at the Coste Ghirlanda Wine Estate, the hotel's own vineyard, puts you in the middle of the vineyards for a memorable meal paired with the local wines.

The bar at Themà runs from morning through evening, always at your disposal whenever the mood strikes. Breakfast brings fresh juices and coffee, while afternoons culminate in the hotel's iconic “aperitivo on the roof,” complete with cocktails made with pink pepper and the natural scents of the island. Come evening, the focus turns to the red and white wines from Sikelia's own production alongside Champagne and prosecco from Italy and beyond.
  • Vibe
    Rugged yet refined design, relaxed and distinctive, with a warm welcome and high level of service.
  • Who's it for?
    Sikelia is a natural fit for couples, honeymooners, and groups of friends looking to trade the everyday for something more elemental. The appeal is in the combination: exceptional Sicilian food, wine from the estate's own Zibibbo vines, volcanic landscapes made for hiking and exploring, and a deep blue sea best experienced from the deck of the Esperanza boat.
  • Location
    Sikelia sits between the mountain and the sea, with the wild green vegetation and black lava rock on one side and the Mediterranean a seven-minute drive on the other. The white of the resort against that dark, rugged landscape is a striking contrast that sets an exotic tone for your island stay.
