Marina Villa Igiea, Palermo

Marina Villa Igiea sits in Palermo’s Acquasanta district, just west of the city centre and beside the elegant Grand Hotel Villa Igiea. Sheltered by the surrounding mountains and two breakwaters, the marina has a calm, protected setting despite being part of a lively Sicilian city. Palermo’s historic centre is around 10–15 minutes away by car, while cafés, restaurants and everyday shops can be found close to the marina. With palm-lined waterfront surroundings and the city within easy reach, it offers a convenient combination of relaxed marina life and access to Palermo’s sights.

Marina Villa Igiea, Palermo Sailing from Marina Villa Igiea, Palermo

Marina Villa Igiea is a strong starting point for exploring northern Sicily and the islands beyond Palermo. From here, you can cruise east along the coast towards Capo Zafferano, Cefalù and the Madonie coastline, with plenty of opportunities for swimming and anchoring along the way. Heading west opens up Mondello, the Capo Gallo Nature Reserve and the quieter bays around the Gulf of Castellammare. For a longer charter, you can make the crossing north towards the Aeolian Islands, with destinations such as Filicudi, Vulcano, Lipari and Salina offering a very different island-hopping experience. A catamaran is particularly well suited to this area, giving you plenty of space for relaxed days at anchor and easy access to the region’s beaches and coves.

Marina Villa Igiea, Palermo Facilities and Amenities

Marina Villa Igiea has the practical facilities needed to make the start and end of a charter straightforward.

The marina also has a lounge bar and restaurant, while supermarkets, a pharmacy, bank and ATM are all close by, making last-minute provisioning easy. The reception can also arrange services such as car hire, taxis and tourist information. For a Palermo departure, this combination of useful facilities and nearby city amenities makes the marina particularly convenient for preparing for a week on the water.
