Discover Capofaro Resort
Heartbeat of the
Aeolian Islands
Capofaro is more than a resort. It is a haven for the spirit, cradled within the radiant green of vineyards and the deep blue of the Mediterranean, gazing towards the horizons of Panarea and Stromboli. Suspended between sea and sky, time slows as the surrounding nature and the essence of Salina unfold, making each stay a deeply personal, intimate experience.
The Resort
Born to welcome the curious and those accustomed to the luxury of simplicity, Capofaro blends the discreet elegance of Sicilian hospitality with the untamed beauty of the Aeolian landscape. Embraced by Malvasia vines, renowned as a symbol of the island, Capofaro is custodian of one of the archipelago’s most enchanting views: a lighthouse that for centuries has guided the safe passage of seafarers.
Upon arrival, you will be warmly welcomed and accompanied on a guided tour of the resort. You will discover its many charms, from the vineyard, restaurant, bar, and pool to the elegant clubhouse, the small open-air gym and the secret garden.
Rooms & Suites
Twenty-six unique rooms in nine categories are scattered between the Estate and the Lighthouse, surrounded by vineyards, each a white jewel that gracefully interprets the island’s elemental style. Private terraces face the sea, coloured by flourishing bougainvillea and naturally shaded by traditional reed canopies, creating corners of peace and coolness in the warmest hours.
Authenticity and seasonality guide every elegant creation by Chef & Maître de Maison Matteo Manco and his team. Most of the herbs and vegetables are locally sourced, coming directly from the lush Capofaro garden and local fishermen deliver the fresh catch-of-the-day.
Dining & Cuisine
Chef Manco's cuisine blends two traditions: Salento and Sicily. This dialogue between two regions is reflected in his epicurean expression, featuring unique flavours that respect the finest quality raw ingredients which blend together to create a exquisite signature cuisine.
Location
Set in the heart of the Aeolian archipelago, Salina, called the green pearl of the islands, is a place where nature, sea and silence embrace one another in perfect harmony. At its very centre lies Capofaro, a sanctuary that captures the true essence of the soul of the island.
Perched on a small plateau overlooking the sea, Capofaro sits gently between the white lighthouse that gazes toward the coastline of Santa Marina and the picturesque village of Malfa on the other side.
Here, nature dictates the rhythm of your stay, wandering through the vineyards, following the scent of the sea breeze, or simply surrendering to the stillness by the pool, sipping a cooling infusion under the Aeolian sun.
Experiences
Whether your heart is called by the whisper of the sea or the quiet majesty of the mountains, in Salina both worlds embrace you harmoniously. The Aeolian Islands are not just about the deep blue of the sea; they are also about lush nature, winding trails, and breath-taking landscapes that capture every sense.

Wine tasting
Perhaps set sail on a private boat tour around Salina, at sunrise or sunset, when the sky and sea merge into a palette of soft gold, maybe pausing for a local lunch or simply allowing the gentle rhythm of the waves to guide from island to island.
Each island holds a secret worth discovering, a story told thought its colours, scent, and silences.
Wellness
A wellness retreat is, above all, a return to simplicity, the luxury of slowing down, the sound of nature, and finding balance in life's small gestures. It's the gentle art of taking time and treating your body and senses with care, surrounded by the scents and textures of the island.
Indulge in a massage that carries the essence of Salina: the salt air, the warmth of the sun, and the subtle fragrances of herbs and capers. Discover restorative treatments inspired by the land with the soothing background rhythm of the sea.
