Minareto Signature Experiences

At sunset, the Minareto is transformed into a place suspended between sky and sea, enveloped in a golden light that slowly fades into the night. The soft candlelight and the sound of the waves create an atmosphere of refined intimacy, where every detail is designed to enhance the beauty of the moment. The Minareto Candlelight Dinner is a unique event, designed exclusively for adults, with a maximum of 20 participants, to ensure privacy, elegance and a truly intimate experience. Every moment becomes a precious memory: a glance, a smile, the simple pleasure of being together in a place that celebrates beauty, tranquillity and the wonderful view of the nearby island of Ortigia. At the Minareto, time slows down and magic becomes real: an experience that remains in the heart.
