About the Location
The east-coast town of Taormina has a bit of a split personality. The upper part of town is all glitz and glam, with designer boutiques lining cobbled streets and a fantastic restaurant scene. Up here is where you’ll find the majority of Taormina’s sights – medieval churches, centuries-old towers and the well-preserved Greek amphitheatre. The Corso Umberto I is the centre of activity, with a myriad of small streets and alleyways threading off the main thoroughfare.
A cable car links the upper town with Taormina Mare, where you’ll find a handful of bars, shops and restaurants, plus a shingle beach. Across the Gulf of Naxos is Mount Etna – a trip to this towering volcano is a must while you’re in Sicily, although you’ll be able to enjoy standout views of it from all over Taormina.

We are a family of 4 that stayed at this beautiful hotel for one week. It wasn???t enough. From our initial reception by Sonia and Alessia to our rooms with breathtaking views. The location is superb. You are on the water with beautiful day beds to layout on and a pool if you fancy. The concierge is led by Angela who is a gem. She helped me make our 20 year anniversary dinner so special and was there for every reservation and excursion that we were interested in. She went above and beyond her job to make sure we got in to restaurants and hired boats for the day and generally enjoyed everyday with something interesting planned. She was the cherry on top for us as we could not have planned everything without her expertise and help. The spa caters to all needs as my daughter and I both had amazing beauty treatments. You are a stone throw from the finucular that can take you into the heart of the town for dinners and walking around. We loved being on the water and yet so close to the town. Much better that way for the hot days where you want to lounge by the sea! The breakfast was divine!! Every morning Miriam guided us to our table and even remembered our orders, she was incredible! The array of food for breakfast is outstanding. Omelet bars, grilled vegetables, fruits, cereals, granitas.. you name it and they will try and accommodate! I can not say enough about the entire staff at this lovely hotel, there really should be more than 5 stars. In a city as beautiful as Taormina, you should only stay at a hotel that complements its beauty. I can only thank Atlantis Bay for making our week in Sicily so memorable!

This is an outstanding property and is first class all the way. Service is universally excellent. We only had lunch by the pool once during our 5 day stay, and the food was very good. My order of Fritto Misto was perfect, but my daughter???s salad with tuna was off the mark (the tuna was tasteless, I am sorry to say). The breakfast - included in our booking - was fabulous in both quality and selection. We had booked 2 ocean view rooms for a party of 4, and both were spotless at check in. Wonderful views. Daily attendant service was excellent. The Hotel is right on the water (no beach, but a very large stone deck with plenty of lounge chairs) and we never got the sense that it was ???crowded???, despite the hotel being fully booked. The bar overlooking the water is lovely and offers an assortment of ???complimentary??? - and very good - snacks with cocktails. For a visit to Taormina, this would be a good selection if you want to be on the water. This entails taking a cab or the cable car to town. We got the hang of the cable car pretty quickly. It???s about 200??? from the hotel and costs 6 EU round trip. There is a market right near the cable car where you can stock up on water for the room (which is necessary), wine, or whatever basics you need. This hotel is a pricey option, but I thought the cost was worth it considering the service and the physical plant and the location. I cannot think of any concerns or limitations to highlight, other then the location issue - do you prefer a hotel up in Taormina itself, or one on the water? If the latter, this is an good option. Angela, the concierge, is outstanding and responsive on email.

As you drive up the A18 from Catania, there are glimpses of the blue, blue sea. You then ascend down the SS114 to Atlantis Bay, turn into the hotel, are greeted by friendly staff, and when you enter the reception, nothing prepares you for the striking view. Straight out of a brochure, you browse through and wish you were there.
The hotel is set on a cliff face and there are panoramic views from all levels. The hotel is smart, fully air conditioned and exquisitely maintained. There are plenty of staff that are more than happy to help and deal with your requests. All staff are smartly turned out and move around the hotel with a smile and a buongiorno every time you pass them. During our stay we encountered Angela, the hotel concierge, who was happy to recommend and make restaurant reservations, investigate and book any site seeing requests and always update you and arrangements made. Salvo, Walter, Alessandro and Miriam, to mention a few, in the restuarant served us breakfast, lunch and coffees with friendly banter and a smile.
We stayed on the first floor with easy access to the sea front and pool. The hotel room was large, spacious with two balconies. The rooms were cleaned in the morning and towels changed again in the evening when requested.
There is a 5 minute walk from the hotel to the cable car to take you to the main town, where there are plenty of restaurants and bars.
The hotel and location is beautiful and I look forward to my next stay.
