The Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa can host a conference for up to 450 delegates, an incentive group that fills several hundred rooms or a wedding by the sea, and the whole resort can be booked for a single event. It stands on the shore at Viale Himera 7 in Campofelice di Roccella, on the north coast of Sicily, east of Palermo.
Seminars and company events
The resort has more than 1,000 square meters of event space, indoors and outdoors. The plenary room seats up to 450 delegates. Sala Reale and a set of breakout rooms complete the meeting floor, and a business center is available to organisers. With 469 rooms on site, a congress or a sales meeting can lodge every participant under one roof, which simplifies transfers and timing. For the largest groups the resort offers exclusive hire of the entire property. A dedicated MICE team in Sicily handles group and event requests.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are sold under the group's Palladium Weddings brand. Ceremonies and receptions use several settings across the resort, including terraces with sunset views over the sea and outdoor areas by the pool or in the gardens. Guests can stay on site, which suits destination weddings with several days of celebrations.
Rooms and capacities
The published figures are the plenary room for 450 delegates and an overall event area above 1,000 square meters. Sala Reale and the breakout rooms can be visited through 360-degree tours on the official site, but their individual capacities are not published. The restaurants also give an idea of scale for group dining: the Sicania buffet restaurant seats 600, Portofino 220, and El Dorado and Chang Thai 200 each.
Accommodation
The resort counts 469 rooms. That capacity allows a single group to take a large share of the hotel, or the whole of it under an exclusive hire agreement. A spa is part of the resort.
Catering
Four restaurants serve hotel guests. Sicania offers a Mediterranean buffet every day. Portofino serves Mediterranean dishes in a casual setting and closes from mid-May to mid-October. El Dorado is a steakhouse and Chang Thai serves Asian fusion cuisine. Menus for events are arranged with the resort's teams.
History and setting
The resort faces the Tyrrhenian Sea on the coast of the province of Palermo, between the city and Cefalù. It belongs to Palladium Hotel Group, a Spanish hotel company with resorts in Europe and the Americas. The setting is a beachfront property with pools, gardens and sea views, built for large groups.
Getting there
Palermo Falcone Borsellino Airport is about 80 km away. The resort gives a travel time of about two hours, and a private transfer from the airport takes a little longer. The town of Campofelice di Roccella has a station on the Palermo to Messina coastal railway.
