Almar Giardino di Costanza Mazara del Vallo

Opened in 2022, the 5-star Almar Giardino di Costanza Resort & Spa brings tradition and modernity together through its refined Italian design. Set amid lush surroundings of olive groves, vineyards, tropical plants, palm trees and orchards, this boutique resort lies close to Sicily’s west coast. On the former country estate of the Sicilian nobility, you can find your own balance amid an atmosphere of tranquillity, nature and history.

Mazara del Vallo lies on Sicily’s south-west coast, directly on the Mediterranean. Its proximity to Tunisia gives the narrow lanes in the town centre an Arabic feel, with colourful paintings by local artists, bright ceramics and tiles. The town is surrounded by a turquoise coastline lined with beautiful beaches. The old town and the surrounding beaches are about a 10-minute drive from the hotel.

Discover a varied culinary offering. At the “AquaMadre” restaurant, guests can enjoy traditional dishes reimagined with local ingredients. The dishes are prepared using 10 distinctive varieties of salt, flavoured by hand at Saline Culcasi di Nubia in western Sicily. This salt pan is a Slow Food Presidium and the only one of its kind where salt is harvested by hand once a year. In the morning, enjoy a generous breakfast buffet (7:30 am–10:30 am), with homemade cakes, fresh fruit, a selection of local cold cuts and juices, among other options. In the evening, half board includes a three-course dinner (7:00 pm–10:00 pm). For relaxed moments over a drink and light snacks, there is the elegant Turchinu Lounge & Terrace, with its panoramic terrace, as well as the Citrus Pool Bar.

Set across approximately 2,500 m², the Almablu Spa (for guests aged 16 and over) offers everything you need for a restorative wellness experience. The spa is divided into two themed areas, inspired by Roman, Arab and Norman influences that reflect Sicily’s cultural heritage. The Roman-Arab area features a tepidarium, calidarium, laconicum, Turkish salt bath with salt from the nearby salt pans, and an elegant tea room. The Norman area includes a bio sauna and Finnish sauna, an ice room with an ice fountain, plunge and cold-water pools, and a Nordic-inspired relaxation area. The two areas are connected by a heated indoor pool with a whirlpool.

The spa also offers a wide range of exclusive treatments rooted in the 4R WELLNESS method: Relax, Rebalance, Recharge and Revitalise. The various wellness programmes offer the opportunity to encourage relaxation and recovery, and enhance your sense of wellbeing.

The fitness area, open from 5:30 am to 8 pm, provides an ideal setting for exercise. A changing selection of sports classes is available daily, included with advance booking, such as Pilates, yoga and stretching. Personal training, tennis and sailing are available at an additional cost.

The exclusive Lido di Costanza, with sunloungers and parasols, is reserved for hotel guests and offers beach service (09:00–19:00), a snack bar and water sports. A shuttle takes you to the beach at set times, with a journey of approximately 20 minutes.

Visit the historic town of Mazara del Vallo and step back in time to Sicily’s old country estates. You’ll also find numerous other beaches nearby, including Tonnarella, Quarara, Capo Fet, Tre Fontane and Porto Palo. Enjoy the crystal-clear water and beautiful stretches of coastline, ideal for sunbathing, water sports or walks in nature.
