Dolce&Gabbana has relaunched its DG Resort concept for summer 2025 at the San Domenico Palace in Taormina, a Four Seasons Hotel, reaffirming its presence on the Sicilian coast.
The initiative sees the fashion house transform the historic location with its signature aesthetic and an exclusive pop-up boutique.
The takeover is centred on the former monastery’s infinity pool area and adjacent terrace, both redesigned in Dolce&Gabbana’s Blu Mediterraneo theme. The motif, inspired by the hues of the Mediterranean Sea and traditional Sicilian ceramics, reflects the brand’s continued homage to Southern Italian craftsmanship. It marks a return to the venue where previous summer editions of DG Resort were held successfully.
Situated between the cliffs and the sea, San Domenico Palace is one of Taormina’s most prominent landmarks. Originally a centuries-old monastery, the hotel now offers high-end hospitality while maintaining a strong link to the town’s aristocratic past. The setting’s blend of natural beauty, historic architecture and cultural significance makes it an ideal match for the fashion label’s identity.
Within the former sacristy, Dolce&Gabbana has opened a temporary boutique offering a curated selection of clothing and accessories. The shop also features limited-edition items created specifically for this location, including a new print inspired by the local scenery.
Founded in 1985, Dolce&Gabbana is a global leader in luxury fashion, with its founders Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana remaining central to the creative and strategic direction of the brand. The company is known for its distinct Italian identity and operates across apparel, accessories, fragrances and fine jewellery, as well as in lifestyle and furniture collaborations.
San Domenico Palace became part of the Four Seasons portfolio in 2021, joining Four Seasons properties in Milan and Florence. It continues to play a significant role in the group’s expansion across Italy. Upcoming developments include a resort near Ostuni in Puglia and the transformation of the Hotel Danieli in Venice, set to open under the Four Seasons name in 2026.
Dolce&Gabbana’s DG Resort 2025 at San Domenico Palace runs throughout the summer season, reinforcing the ongoing partnership between fashion and luxury hospitality in one of Sicily’s most iconic destinations.
