4 Sicilian Wedding Venues with a Sea View
If you’re dreaming of an Italian wedding by the sea, Sicily isn’t short of coastline – but these trusted venues really do show off the island’s best angles.
Torre di Scopello
On Sicily’s northwestern coast, Torre di Scopello has stood since the sixteenth century – and you’ll have it all to yourself for your wedding weekend.
Conduct your ceremony on the ancient piazzale overlooking the Faraglioni rocks, then dine in the open air with up to 250 of your favourite people. Come the morning after, head down to the private solarium for a swim while you relive the night before.
Insider tip: The Torre has no exclusive suppliers, so you’re free to personalise your celebration in any way you like.
Tonnara Foderà
Tonnara Foderà doesn’t try to impress you with polish. Embrace its raw beauty on the shoreline at Castellammare del Golfo, where the colours of the bay shift from soft sunrise pastels to fiery sunsets, and the whole place feels like an open-air museum, ode to its ancient fishing past.
Say your vows by the water, then dine under the stars in the garden. It’s atmospheric, intimate and full of character, and it suits smaller, soulful celebrations best.
Insider tip: Getting your guests there is surprisingly simple. Palermo airport is just 25 km away, and a train station sits directly across the road with connections to Palermo and Trapani.
Villa Bona
Villa Bona is a historic villa in Termini Imerese, set among olive groves with views stretching towards the sea. Vows are exchanged among the trees, and then it’s all about the terraces. Enjoy an aperitif with the last of the sea view before the light drops and your whole party drifts happily into dinner.
It’s a villa that gives you plenty of freedom to decide how the day should unfold.
Insider tip: There’s room for up to 130 guests outdoors and 100 inside, so a change in the weather never has to change your plans.
Commenda di San Calogero
Commenda di San Calogero sits on 110 acres of orange and olive groves near Augusta, with the sea glinting in the distance. Its owner, an architect and garden designer, has restored it with real care, and the estate is full of shady corners, look-outs and secluded benches for slipping away. There’s a historic chapel, and even a cave where a saint is said to have hidden in Roman times.
Insider tip: Say “I do” right here. Civil ceremonies can be held on site and with no cap on numbers outdoors, there’s plenty of room for everyone you love.
