Sublime adults-only South Sicily stay by the sea

• Leisurely living: Moments from the sparkling shores of Ragusa Marina Beach, the delightful Acacia Palace is a textbook Sicily beach retreat. Framed by beautiful gardens teeming with lush Mediterranean vegetation, the hotel exudes an air of total tranquillity, while inside airy, spacious guest rooms boast elegant modern designs, soothing maritime hues, and large windows to let in that sea breeze.

• Sun-soaked stay: Get your vitamin D fix from the lovely outdoor pool, where you can while away balmy afternoons under a parasol before cooling off beneath the terracotta fountain. You'll also be walking-distance from a spectacular sandy beach with both public and private areas, while the hotel's sauna, Jacuzzi and Technogym fitness centre are the perfect place to pamper yourself between sunbathing stints.

• Sicilian savouring: Start each day with a hearty buffet breakfast at the hotel's restaurant, and return later on for colourful Sicilian cuisine, Mediterranean favourites and mouthwatering sweet treats. Elsewhere, the poolside bar is perfect for morning coffees over a newspaper, stylish aperitifs and laid-back nightcaps, and should you wish to venture out, the hotel is on-hand to share their favourite local eateries.
