Villa Sant'Andrea, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina Mare
A Sicilian retreat with its own private beach, overlooking the tranquil Bay of Mazzarò
When Goethe called Taormina a “piece of paradise on earth,” he may well have been describing Villa Sant'Andrea. Along one of Italy's most picturesque bays on a private beach with exclusive cabanas, this villa is just a courtesy shuttle ride away from the town center. Rest in blissful refuge in one of 69 elegantly furnished guest rooms. Take in panoramic views from the heated outdoor swimming pool. Revel in complimentary morning boat cruises, relish fresh seafood at Ristorante Sant'Andrea, and relax with a soothing massage in your room or beneath an orange tree. Little guests can enjoy fun activities at the dedicated Smile Club.
Hotel Tip
Ask for dinner reservations at Ristorante Sant'Andrea; being there for sunset is a must. –Ralph Iantosca Valley Ranch, TexasVirtuoso Preferred Supplier Since 01 Jun 2010

Sustainability
Our Commitment
Belmond is deeply respectful of its communities and their surroundings.
We aim to tread lightly and indeed make a positive contribution to the many destinations where we operate. We are also strongly aware of our responsibility towards natural resources and the environment, especially at locations close to World Heritage Sites.
All our hotels, trains and river cruises run initiatives to support the places and people that surround them. As part of our “Think Global, Act Local” approach we:
- Purchase as much food as possible from sustainable sources
- Run and support educational programmes
- Follow sustainable practices to reduce the impact of our operations on the environment and to ensure energy efficiency
Among our many initiatives, the food and beverage operations of the majority of Belmond’s hotels, trains and river cruises are assessed by the UK-based Sustainable Restaurant Association. Belmond is the first global luxury hospitality brand to have undertaken this ongoing third-party testing.
