WHY STAY
Sikelia is a boutique art hotel on the small and mysterious island of Pantelleria, located between Sicilian and African coasts. Here, barefoot luxury meets modern Mediterranean design and high-end local cuisine. All suites are built within ancient dammusi structures, with private terraces facing the countryside.
Get lost in the Arabic garden. Experience an evening spa treatment under the starlit sky. Enjoy the silence of Pantelleria nights.
WHY WANDER
Pantelleria has originated from a volcanic eruption thousands of years ago and is characterized by its dark rocks and the intense blue sea. Hike to the many crystal clear coves the island has to offer. Enjoy the natural spa with a visit to the hot springs of Gadir, the Benikulà Cave sauna or the rejuvinating mud of the Lago di Venere. Wander through Pantelleria’s vineyards, and sample the local wines.
INDULGE IN
Traditional Sicilian cuisine with an Arab and African twist. Try spaghetti with sardines, followed by the catch of the day, and finish the meal with Passito soufflé with caper ice cream. Enjoy the unique Coste Ghirlande olive oil, with its slightly spicy bitter taste and wine grown on the premises.
GETTING THERE
Take a direct flight from any major Italian city.
