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.

Stayed for three nights in early April and while the weather was not optimal for enjoying the beach, the hotel was beyond our expectations. It is well decorated and each room has its own charm. The stone walls add a special touch!
The property is along the beach and almost every room has a balcony with a magnificent view of the mountains, a patch of green in the sea and the beautiful turquoise and emerald green waters. Breakfast spread is lavish, amenties are good and the staff is courteous.

What a beautiful place to stay! Want to say a big thankyou to staff for making our stay so comfortable. Especial mention to Tiziana - feel like we have a new friend😊 Really went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed; to Sonia, Angela, Francesco & Alessandro at reception - fantastic service! And always with a smile😊 And to Domenico & all the catering staff & "salvataggio"s😉 really a different class, all of you!
Other than that, stunningly beautiful spot on the bay with easy access up to Taormina (3min walk down to cable car), 1min walk to best place for pizza we've ever been! (Castellucio's) & autostadi to go see Mt Etna, Siracusa.. Really had a great time, highly recommended

We stayed here for 2 nights in October to celebrate my Mother???s 60th Birthday. On arrival we found the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful and were advised only one of our rooms would be ready as we were quite early before check in. Our luggage was taken to the room and we walked around 150m to the cable car to take us to the main part of Taormina. When we arrived back at the hotel that afternoon, there was champagne waiting for us complements of the hotel.
On my mums birthday Angela helped arrange a boat tour around the bay which was wonderful.
Honestly can???t fault this hotel, the rooms were large, clean and beds were comfortable. Staff were so pleasant, and the location is second to none.
Thankyou so much for making my mums birthday a memorable one, would recommend anyone stay.

Spent a wonderful week in this beautiful hotel. So lovely to spend time in a hotel that isn???t generic. The bedroom has a nautical feel as does most of the hotel. The bathroom was clean sleek and well appointed. The freebies are fabulous and plentiful. The main restaurant is beautiful. We were lucky enough to have great weather in October so were able to sit on the fabulous terrace overlooking the stunning bay having breakfast every morning. The pool area has plenty of sun beds and very comfortable armchairs and sofas. The bar staff around the pool were charming and attentive, as were all the staff. The breakfast staff couldn???t do enough for you, and whilst talking about breakfast it was amazing. Everything you could wish for even divine procecco if you can handle it first thing in the morning.
The hotel in down the bottom of Taormina so you need to take the cable car to get up into town. It is only a 5 minute walk from the hotel and ???6 return.
As this is a 5* hotel drinks and food tend to be a bit pricey but worth it.
The concierge were all very helpful and friendly. Value for money this hotel is a must. Make sure you get a room with a terrace overlooking the bay.
My husband says I must mention the train that you can hear occasionally. Something that bothered me more than him. 😝

We went for couple of weeks for the first time ever with our 6months old newborn Matteo. We knew Taormina is difficult due to many stairs but we took the risk. Boy and it was worth every penny at Atlantis Bay. Quiet, private beach, superb service (especially Salvtagios Vito, Andrea, Christian + Giulia) who made our stay excellent. We will be back!
One minus: no lift at the entrance which could be quite difficult for many!!!
