Mangia's Selinunte Resort

The landscape here is quintessentially Sicilian, so you can expect to spend your stay surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. The 15-minute stroll to the shoreline, meanwhile, takes through a nature reserve, so the setting really is something to shout about.

Did we mention there’s a stretch of the golden, sandy shore that’s reserved just for guests of the hotel? Swim, sunbathe, or just flop down on a sunbed under a parasol and let the day roll by – the choice is yours. There’s even a handful of water sports you can get stuck into if that’s more your vibe. As for the offering up at the hotel, there are three pools in all, with one dedicated just to the little ones, plus a poolside bar to keep your thirst quenched on those sunny afternoons.
