Minareto
A Secluded Oasis Overlooking Ortigia: Where Nature, History, and Luxury Converge on the Sicilian Coast
A rare blend of natural beauty and cultural proximity, Minareto Resort is perched on a private peninsula overlooking the UNESCO-listed island of Ortigia, once described by Cicero as “the greatest and most beautiful of all Greek cities.” Tucked between the Plemmirio Nature Reserve and the sapphire waters of the Ionian Sea, the resort offers an immersive Sicilian experience — serene, sun-soaked, and rich in history.
Scattered across lush Mediterranean gardens, its 77 rooms and 4 Junior Suites combine local craftsmanship with modern luxury. Many boast spectacular views of Ortigia and the sea, while interiors feature custom furnishings by Sicilian artists that reflect the region’s vibrant spirit.
Guests can unwind on the private sandy beach, soak in the sun from the cliffside solarium or Jacuzzi terrace, or explore the resort’s pool, gardens, spa, and sports facilities. Just minutes away from the cultural heart of Siracusa, Minareto Resort is the ideal base for travelers seeking both tranquility and adventure on Sicily’s southeastern coast.
