ADLER Spa Resort Sicilia was born of the love for nature and a deep-rooted sense of awe for its beauty. Since the resort had to blend in with the landscape without altering its natural balance and beauty, bioarchitecture was the only way forward. Single-storey buildings alternate with botanical oases where indigenous plants grow.
The locally typical building materials used – such as tuff, unbaked clay, opus signinum and natural stone cladding – create a pleasant indoor environment that promotes a sense of well-being while also respecting the aesthetics of the surroundings.
Everything we do has an impact, and every single choice can make a difference. For this reason, the entire experience at ADLER Spa Resort SICILIA is tuned to sustainability! Within the resort, electric club cars are used to cover the longer distances. The property put a lot of effort into minimising waste (especially plastic waste), digitalising all processes to reduce paper, and optimising consumption of laundry materials. Cutting-edge heat pumps are used to recover energy and avoid fossil fuels for the air conditioning system, so as to promote the use of renewable sources.
Another way to contribute to sustainability is through a farm-to-table concept. All the fruits, vegetables and herbs served at the restaurant grow directly in the resort’s orchards and gardens. The rest of the ingredients are predominantly from local suppliers and preferably from organic and biodynamic farming. The property also offer guests an ecologically minded activity programme that enables them to truly get to know and enjoy Sicily and its people in a respectful, sustainable way. Not only does this offer guests a more authentic experience – it also supports the local economy and allows for a smaller environmental footprint, for example by reducing water consumption and transport-related pollution.
At ADLER Spa Resort SICILIA, you don’t have to compromise on comfort to achieve sustainability. You can enjoy Sicily’s natural paradise safe in the knowledge that it will still be here, unmarred, the next time you return.
