Atlantis Bay: A Grotto Hideaway in the Bay of the Sirens

Atlantis Bay occupies one of the most dramatic settings on the Sicilian coast, tucked into the Bay of the Sirens directly below the hilltown of Taormina. Its grotto-inspired architecture, all curves and natural stone, tumbles down to a private beach beneath the cliffs, giving it a secluded, almost mythical feel.

The dining makes the most of Sicily. Nui Restaurant offers a modern vision of traditional Sicilian cuisine under chef Agatino Privitera; the Kori Bar pours Etna wines and citrus-and-herb cocktails poolside with sunset views over the bay; and the Beach Bar handles all-day granita, juices, snacks and cocktails by the sand.

For a dramatic, secluded Taormina stay, Atlantis Bay is a standout.
