About La Plage Resort

La Plage Resort is a beach resort on the sand at Isola Bella below Taormina, with sea-view ceremony spaces, a beach club, a spa and 77 rooms and suites.

La Plage Resort stands directly on the sand at Isola Bella, inside the nature reserve on the coast below Taormina in Sicily. The little island lies just offshore, linked to the beach by a thin ribbon of sand, and the terraces, the beach club and most of the rooms face it across the turquoise Ionian bay. The resort belongs to the Ragosta Hotels collection.

Ceremonies take place on the sea-view terrace or on the beach itself, for up to around 200 guests. Receptions can move into the glass-walled Scilla hall, which seats up to around 120, or out onto the terraces, or onto the sand, where the beach club sets long tables and lanterns. The Idda restaurant cooks Sicilian and Mediterranean menus built on seafood and island produce. With 77 rooms and suites, many with sea views and private jacuzzis, plus the Thalea spa, the wedding party can stay together on the shore. Catania Fontanarossa Airport is about an hour away.

Couples marry on the sea-view terrace or on the beach, with a white aisle and flowers set against the water. The reception then moves into the glass-walled Scilla hall, out onto the terraces, or onto the sand, where long tables and lanterns are laid after dark.

Location

Sicily

La Plage Resort stands on the shore at Isola Bella, in the nature reserve directly below the hill town of Taormina on Sicily's east coast. It is about an hour from Catania Fontanarossa Airport, a short climb or cable car from Taormina itself, and within reach of Mount Etna, the Greek theatre and the rest of the Ionian coast, so guests reach a beautiful beach setting with plenty to explore around the wedding.

Excellent experience

Excellent hospitality, especially from the staff who go out of their way to welcome and pamper the guests, in particular the professionalism of the
Manager Diego. Excellent location but the property is dated and not up to 5-star standards, deserving of a thorough restyling. Overall an excellent experience, we will gladly return.

Wonderful respite from the Tourist trap Taormina

Very pleasant few days down the hill from Taormina. Great food, great staff and a good beach set up. Our room was great . It is expensive but it gets you out of the melee in the old town of Taormina, choked with cruise ship passengers and tours of tourists who don’t know what they are looking for . Taormina town is one big over priced tourist trap. But the resort gets you away from that
