The Torre Salsa Oriented Nature Reserve, named for the historic watchtower that dominates the area, is a protected area of 760 hectares that extends almost 7 km along the sea. Established in 2000 and managed by the WWF, this natural oasis is famous for its extraordinary landscape and rich biodiversity.
The reserve offers a mosaic of breathtaking landscapes, encompassing valuable ecosystems. The hinterland, with its natural terraces, is nestled between the wild, mountainous areas of Monte Stella and a coastline characterised by stretches of golden sand, interrupted by spectacular marl walls and sheer cliffs with turquoise and emerald hues. The landscape is enriched with a great variety of endemic botanical species, including over 20 types of wild orchids and the fragrant sea lily. The fauna is equally fascinating: porcupines, foxes, peregrine falcons, lizards, butterflies, herons, gulls and numerous other species of water birds populate these pristine habitats.
However, the real stars of the reserve are the Caretta caretta sea turtles, which choose this precious coastline to nest, making it a symbol of Sicily's conservation and natural beauty.
The ADLER Spa Resort SICILIA is an exclusive 5-star hotel located in Siculiana, in the province of Agrigento, near the Torre Salsa Nature Reserve, one of Sicily's most renowned protected areas. The resort stands on a hill overlooking the sea, immersed in the tranquillity of a pine forest and surrounded by typical Mediterranean scrub. Thanks to a direct path, you can easily reach a beach of fine sand, located only 300 metres away and equipped to offer maximum comfort.
The structure, designed according to strict sustainability criteria to minimise its environmental impact, consists of single-level buildings that are perfectly integrated into the surrounding landscape. The hotel has 90 rooms, guaranteeing privacy and comfort for each guest.
Gastronomy is taken care of down to the smallest detail in the two restaurants and the bar, while wellness is at the centre of the experience with a large Wellness & Spa centre that includes 3 saunas, 13 treatment cabins with sea views, and a well-equipped beach that can be reached on foot in just 10 minutes or via a convenient electric shuttle service. Thanks to the Mediterranean climate, characterised by long, hot summers and mild winters, the ADLER Spa Resort SICILIA is the ideal destination for relaxing and wellness holidays all year round.
