Cefalù Italy

Club Med Cefalù is nothing short of spectacular! This luxury resort in Sicily offers an incredible structure where every detail is designed for comfort, beauty, and relaxation. The setting is absolutely breathtaking – the private beach with crystal-clear waters is simply one of the best in Cefalù, and the natural water pool is a true highlight, offering a perfect spot to unwind while soaking in the stunning views of the Mediterranean.

The location is ideal, just 5 minutes by car from the charming center of Cefalù, making it easy to explore the historic town and return to the peaceful, exclusive atmosphere of the resort.

One of the most memorable moments of my stay was enjoying a fresh octopus lunch right by the sea. Delicious food, a beautiful setting, and that magical Sicilian vibe you can’t find anywhere else.

A special mention must go to Andrea, the Chef de Village. His attentiveness, charisma, and warm leadership create a welcoming and joyful atmosphere throughout the resort. He and his exceptional team make every guest feel truly special and cared for.

If you’re looking for the best resort in Cefalù, with breathtaking scenery, outstanding facilities, and unforgettable experiences, Club Med Cefalù should be at the very top of your list. It’s not just a vacation, it’s a memory for a lifetime!

Our stay was magnificent. We enjoyed every single moment. It was our annual family reunion. The team didn't spare any effort to meet our expectations. Tidhar at the kayaks and Alon at the bar so as the two tennis coaches (Karine and Emma) were fantastic. We came back to the kayak beach and the tennis courts at least once a day. Such a great attitude were "injected" to the guests by these members of the Cefalù's team.

We just got back from an unforgettable week at Club Med Cefalù. The views and location were breathtaking, but what really made the trip so special were the amazing people we met there and the GO team.

Tidhar from the water sports team brought so much fun and energy into every activity – whether it was our first time trying out something new or we just wanted to enjoy the sea, he made it easy, exciting but also safe. Alon, at the bar, always greeted us with a big smile and made the best drinks. He somehow remembered exactly what we liked every time. And the tennis team, Carine and Emma, were simply wonderful, patient, encouraging, and full of good and positive energy, which made us come twice a day every day. All of them felt like a second family by the end of the week

It’s one of those holidays where you leave, already thinking about when you are going to come back. Thank you to all of you for making it so special!

An absolutely wonderful holiday. We couldn't have asked for more.
One of the standout features of the club for us was how hardworking the staff team are - from cleaners, to groundsmen, bar staff to the reception desk. It doesn't matter what level someone's role is, the effort and level of commitment to their part in the overall experience went way beyond our expectations. The CDV Andrea is always present and works tirelessly to be visible and make all guests welcome.
We had tennis lessons with Carine and Emma who are both friendly and professional. Carine taught us so much. We witnessed everyone progressing in the course of one lesson, which is the epitome of a good teacher. They were both able to teach in a range of languages and encouraged us to attend the Sport's Club Cocktails on the Azzurro Rooftop on Thursday night -which we did. Andrea had previously tipped us off that it was the most romantic spot in the resort, so we'd already had some drinks up there under the stars alone.
The Zen Pool is stunning and peaceful. It has panoramic views across the Tyrrhenian Sea and isn't overcrowded.
The steps down to the sea at Riva Beach are perfect for getting into the sea without any fuss and the main pool by the Azzurro Bar is clean. Each of the three areas cater very well according to your preference of sea, pool or tranquility.
Our only improvement there would be more shade for the Zen Pool loungers.
The Sailing Club was wonderful and the range of seacraft was excellent. My husband went sailing and we both took out pedal boards which I'd never used before. I thought it was simply the best day ever down on the sea.
Our bedroom was clean, had all the facilities we needed and the cleaning staff were incredibly hardworking. They provided our room with a cupboard full of bottled water.
The food and drink in the bars and restaurants was exceptional. There was a great range of non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. We enjoyed the fun ideas for daily cocktails and the great pop up aperitif stalls. We loved the live music which set a great atmosphere for evening pre-dinner drinks. A huge shout out to the chef preparing the nightly appetizers by the Azzurro Bar. He was surrounded by wasps but worked on through the bombardment to provide us with delicious treats.
The beach side restaurant was unbelievably beautiful. Great food and incredible scenery. Again, very hardworking and attentive staff.
La Rocca had an amazing range of food. Really high quality with daily new starters and main courses. We felt spoilt by the chefs. There are lots of table options so you can sit alone and feel privacy, or with new friends you've made. We also loved the dramatic backdrop of Cefalù across the sea. I'm still closing my eyes to see the beautiful image burnt onto my retina.
We had a fun day out on the Vespa excursion. Although we wouldn't recommend it to those without experience of driving 2 wheels as some of the uphill twists and turns may be a bit challenging. Also, there isn't an equivalent of an MOT in Italy, so the Vespas needed a little TLC. It was an interesting excursion and the guide Salvatore put a lot of effort into explaining the history of Castelbuono.
The chauffeurs to and from the airport (David & an Italian man), were welcoming, knowledgeable and the best they could be.
Overall, a wonderful holiday. The scenery is just as advertised and totally breathtaking, there are lots of carts to transfer you around if you don't want to walk, a wonderful atmosphere, exceptional food and an incredibly hardworking team. We would love to return and are already looking at future dates or other Club Med Exclusive Resorts. A heartfelt 'thank you' to all staff at Cefalù for the perfect holiday. We appreciate you!

Thanks again for best holiday ever. Great to be back at Cefalu. The happiness in this place is unmatched.

Special thanks for Leonardo from kids club, Alessandro the sommerlier and Salvatore at Riva.

And all the other GO’s - thanks for making our stay so special.

We will be back!
