In recent years, Taormina has progressed with a luxury element that was mostly missing in years past. Nowhere was this more evident than in the nightlife infrastructure that included mostly a handful of restaurant bars and youth-minded discos along the town’s edges. That was until Morgana, a sexy and stylish lounge bar located within the historic town that stocks a crowd of designer-loving revelers that come for sunset cocktails and linger well past 2am in summer. The space is divided between a series of smaller lounge spaces decorated to the nines. Interiors mix Sicilian styles from Caltagirone ceramics to Baroque frescoes and extravagant stucco detailing. Outside, an Ibiscus garden with premium vodka and champagne bar sits under a flowering orange tree and is one of the prettiest terraces in the city and the perfect spot for a midnight Italian romance.
