The philosophy and origins of the ADLER Sicilia
Luxury that exists in harmony with nature. That’s the philosophy the Sanoner family puts into practice at all of the ADLER Spa Resorts & Lodges. At the ADLER Sicilia, this philosophy is evident throughout the hotel. Characterized by its secluded location on the edge of a WWF nature reserve, the family-run establishment places particular importance on respecting and preserving nature.
Experience Southwestern Sicily at the ADLER Sicilia
The ADLER Sicilia is located on the southwestern coast of Sicily, near the town of Siculiana, between the cities of Agrigento and Sciacca. It’s a region characterized by expansive landscapes, a scarcity of structures, and unobstructed vistas of the Mediterranean Sea. This remote location puts you far away from the island’s popular tourist centers, giving you space to relax and unwind.
