8 best hotels with a pool in Taormina

Hotels with a pool in Taormina blend Mediterranean relaxation with a postcard backdrop. For first-time visitors, the most convenient base is usually the historic centre around Corso Umberto, Taormina’s pedestrian main thoroughfare lined with shops, cafés and evening life. If your priority is sea time, consider staying nearer the cable-car link to the Mazzarò / Isola Bella area, where the beach access system connects the upper town with the seaside in minutes.

A genuinely “pool hotel” here is more than a token dip: look for a proper outdoor swimming pool, a sun terrace for lounging (often with views over the Ionian coastline), and a calm poolside set-up that works between sightseeing and dinner. These properties suit couples wanting romantic downtime, families who need a guaranteed activity on warm afternoons, and travellers who prefer a walkable location without giving up on resort-style comfort.

In our bookable collection, options such as Villa Carlotta (4★) and Villa Fiorita (3★) cater to different budgets while keeping the pool-and-views brief in mind. For a more elevated stay, Villa Sant Andrea, A Belmond Hotel (5★) and NH Collection Taormina (5★) are ideal for guests seeking a polished experience alongside classic Taormina sightseeing.
