This barren cape was transformed in the 1960s with the addition of the most avant-garde architectural statement in or around Taormina -- an oasis of posh comfort within a spectacularly inhospitable natural setting. Surrounded by the Ionian Sea on three sides, and with a layout that resembles an irregular pentagon, the hotel contains five floors with wide sun terraces. Elevators take you through 46m (151 ft.) of solid rock to the beach and to a large, free-form pool far below the level of the hotel, directly adjacent to the sea. Guest rooms are handsome and well proportioned, each with a private terrace and a spacious bathroom.
Amenities: 3 restaurants; 3 bars; outdoor seawater pool; golf; tennis; gym; seawater Jacuzzi; sauna; watersports program (supplemental charge) including deep-sea fishing and scuba; salon; room service; massage; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms
