Golfers, couples and spa-seekers are being enticed to the sunshine island of Sicily this autumn, with the prospect of a never-ending summer at the five-star Donnafugata Golf Resort & SPA – with rooms available from only €170 per night for bookings confirmed by October 10, plus a reduction of 20 per cent on spa treatments.

With the months of October and November remaining particularly warm in Sicily, temperatures promise to be perfect for golfers to tee-off on the Resort's two championship courses, for culture vultures to explore the myriad UNESCO cities in the south-east region, or for pampered breaks in the award-winning spa.

Located just 15 minutes from Comiso airport and set in the beautiful area of Donnafugata, a natural reserve and famous tourist destination known for the imposing castle which bears the same name, Donnafugata Golf Resort & SPA boasts a number of fantastic historical cities to explore nearby. These include Val di Noto, the heart of Sicilian baroque; Ragusa Ibla, Modica, Noto, Siracuse and Scicli. All are deemed fitting of UNESCO World Heritage status.

The Resort is home to a luxury 900m2 spa with indoor pool, hydro-massage, sauna, steam bath and gym areas, with a host of seasonally selected treatments. A 'Sweet Carob' regenerating body treatment is on offer for dehydrated skin, using Carob derivatives (rich in vitamins A,C,E), which give the skin elasticity and intensive hydration. The treatment is completed by a massage with a scented cream with extracts of carob seeds and almonds leaving skin smooth and silky.

Host of the 2011 Sicilian Open and featuring two 18-hole championship courses – the Gary Player-designed Parkland, and the Links – Donnafugata Golf Resort & Spa has won widespread acclaim across the golf industry since opening in 2010 and its new Darren Clarke Centre of Excellence offers a variety of tuition packages and individual lessons for golfers of all abilities aged six and above.

And Donnafugata Golf Resort & SPA's south-east location gives guests the ideal opportunity to explore the unique gastronomic delights of the region, which include a plethora of impressive vineyards and its own inimitable style of cuisine.

Available from 1 October to 4 December, the 'Never-Ending Summer' promotion starts from €170 per room per night in November or from €180 in October. All rates include daily breakfast and complimentary access to the spa facilities and fitness centre.

The exclusive promotions at Donnafugata Golf Resort & SPA are set to continue right to the end of the year with a special New Year's Eve promotion to be announced in the coming days.
