“Sustainable sea-view hideaway 

Where it is located

The Adler Spa Resort in Sicily is located in the picturesque province of Agrigento, immersed in the splendid Torre Salsa Nature Reserve, a protected oasis managed by the WWF that covers a vast area of 762 hectares along a coastline of almost 7 km. Here, wild nature blends with the breathtaking beauty of the Mediterranean Sea, providing unspoilt beaches, white limestone rocks and rolling hills tinged with bright green and the vibrant colours of the Sicilian spring.

Nearby, the famous Scala dei Turchi and a coastline evoking Nordic landscapes, with its cliffs recalling the coasts of Portugal, Brittany and sometimes even Ireland. The crystal-clear sea, symbol of the Mediterranean, offers perfect scenery all year round, while spectacular sunrises and sunsets paint the sky in shades of pink and orange, providing unforgettable moments for visitors.
This still little-known part of Sicily promises an authentic and fascinating travel experience, made even more special by Agrigento’s recent proclamation as the Italian Capital of Culture 2025. With its incredible tranquillity and breathtaking views, the Adler Resort perfectly embodies the ‘Hideaway’ concept, offering guests an escape from reality in an authentic Mediterranean paradise.

Design and mood

The Adler Spa Resort embodies a design that reflects the principles of eco-sustainability, a core value of its philosophy. With a deep respect for nature and a conscious use of resources, the hotel’s architecture is based on indigenous natural materials, such as natural raw earth, rock and volcanic tuff from Mount Etna, as well as glass and cedar wood, with its delicate sandy-grey colour smoothed by the waves of the sea.

Every space in the hotel is designed to harmonise perfectly with the surrounding landscape, offering guests an experience of total immersion in nature. The simple and essential Nordic design recalls the style of the Adler Lodges, with their diffuse architecture. The buildings, arranged on one and two storeys along the hillside sloping down towards the sea, house restaurants, swimming pools and spas, linked by paths winding through the lush Mediterranean maquis. In this way, the Adler Hotel creates an environment that welcomes guests with an embrace of nature, harmoniously blending comfort and sustainability.

Room style

The rooms offer ample space and breathtaking views of the sea. All rooms are of the same type, Junior Suites, with the exception of family rooms that include two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Each room is equipped with SMART TV with Chromecast, functional GRMS systems and automatic temperature control, ensuring a comfortable environment. Walls clad in natural raw earth help regulate humidity and create a balanced climate.

Each room is equipped with a coffee machine, while the minibar, available at an extra charge, offers a selection of drinks and snacks. A bottle of water is offered as a courtesy each time the room is cleaned.

To complete the experience, each room has an outdoor relaxation area, such as a patio with a sofa, table and chairs, offering a private space to enjoy the sea view.
