Once a sacred monastery perched between sky and sea, San Domenico Palace, Taormina, now reimagined by Four Seasons, becomes the stage for an evocative new chapter: the DG Resort 2025.
In this corner of eastern Sicily—where baroque facades meet volcanic cliffs—Dolce&Gabbana returns with a creative takeover that redefines summer luxury. For the third consecutive season, the maison transforms the hotel’s iconic infinity pool and panoramic terrace into a Mediterranean reverie, adorned with the unmistakable Blu Mediterraneo motif. Inspired by Sicilian majolica, the vivid cerulean-and-white palette captures the essence of the island: sun-drenched coastlines, artisan heritage, and the poetry of slow living.
More than a seasonal décor, this is an immersive aesthetic experience. At the heart of the former sacristy, a pop-up boutique unveils exclusive pieces designed especially for Taormina—each one a tribute to the town’s most arresting views. These collector’s items, crafted with great attention to detail, reflect the brand’s enduring devotion to handmade traditions and Southern Italian identity.
Since 1985, Dolce&Gabbana has embodied an uncompromising vision of Italianness, one that marries romance with rigor, theatricality with authenticity. This summer, that vision is in perfect harmony with the legacy of San Domenico Palace—a place where history whispers through cloisters and luxury lives in the details.
As Four Seasons continues to expand its Italian footprint, from Florence to soon Puglia and Venice, the Taormina address remains a singular destination. Here, amid jasmine-scented evenings and Greco-Roman ruins, the DG Resort 2025 invites you to step into a Sicilian dream where design, fashion, and place become one.
