Best Luxury Hotels in Taormina

Glamorously sun-drenched and historic, Taormina is a favourite Sicilian destination for lovers of luxury. Its spectacular clifftop spot means that all of Taormina’s luxury hotels have incredible views, and many of them date from the period when Taormina was on the route of the European Grand Tour, so there’s an opulence to many of them as well. At the five star end of Taormina’s luxury hotel collection are the converted palazzos and mansions — perfect if you’re planning a honeymoon, or a romantic trip — plus you can expect to find elegant boutique townhouse hotels, and more contemporary beach resorts. Some of Taormina’s B&Bs and guesthouses are pretty luxurious too! Browse our pick of the properties and start planning your upscale getaway.
