However eminent the clientele, the secluded hideaway still feels like a beautiful private home. Set in subtropical gardens, it boasts a heated infinity pool overlooking the crystalline bay, open-air wellness treatments and stylish cabanas on the pebble beach. Guests can soak up the view from their private loungers, sip cocktails served by the beach butler or plunge in with snorkels to explore the hidden coves. Lavish, light-filled accommodation reflects the Sicilian palette. Balconies bloom with jewel-like geraniums. In the garden-inspired Scented Suites, details include copper bathtubs, bright ceramics and vintage movie posters.
