Overview

 
Tucked behind the golden sands of Marina Di Ragusa, Acacia Palace is a stylish 4-star retreat that feels purpose-built for slow Sicilian days. A generous pool with whirlpool, manicured gardens, a smart spa and modern, light-filled rooms set the tone, while a short stroll brings you to the beach and the waterfront bars and trattorias that make this part of Sicily so charming.

Think warm Sicilian light over palm-fringed pools, cool marble interiors and relaxed Mediterranean elegance. At Acacia Palace, lazy mornings drift from breakfast to the beach, afternoons are best spent between the pool and spa, and evenings are made for aperitivi on the terrace before exploring Marina Di Ragusa’s seafront restaurants. For couples and older families seeking Sicily (Catania Airport)’s coastal charm with everything on your doorstep, Acacia Palace delivers an easy-going mix of beach access, a fantastic pool area and a polished wellness space. It’s around 2 hours from Catania Airport by road. See more Italy holidays.

Pool & outdoors


The heart of the hotel is its outdoor freshwater pool, framed by neat lawns, palms and a spacious sunbathing terrace. Built-in whirlpool areas invite long, lazy soaks, while plentiful sunbeds and parasols create an easygoing poolside scene. Fresh pool towels are available (deposit or local charge may apply).

When you’re ready for the sea, a short walk (around 100m) brings you to Marina Di Ragusa’s sweeping sandy beach. Here you’ll find lidos offering sunbeds and parasols for hire, clear water ideal for a refreshing dip, and beachfront cafés for a quick espresso or gelato between swims.
