Nestled in the rugged, unspoiled nature of Pantelleria, Zubebi is not a simple hotel but an exclusive collection of dammusi restored that offer an authentic and luxurious stay experience. The name Zubebi, which means “raisins” in Arabic, evokes the sweet flavour and richness of the island's terroir. This property is the ideal destination for those seeking absolute privacy, breathtaking views, and a deep connection with the island's culture.
Zubebi's dammusi, typical Pantelleria dwellings with thick lava stone walls and dome roofs, have been carefully restored, maintaining their original charm while integrating design furnishings and modern amenities. Each unit is a private retreat that includes one or more bedrooms, a living area, and a covered terrace (ducchena) with views of the sea or the Mediterranean scrub. Many dammusi feature a private infinity pool or an outdoor hot tub.
The Zubebi resort hosts the Zateré restaurant, whose philosophy is based on the encounter between Pantelleria tradition and the use of zero-mile products, many of which come from the resort's organic garden. Here, guests can savour land delicacies and the catch of the day, reinvented and served under an intimate grape pergola. The generous and thoughtful breakfast highlights local flavours. Upon request, the resort organizes excursions, boat tours of the island, and Passito di Pantelleria wine tastings. The wellness experience is tied to the territory, with proximity to natural saunas and thermal springs.
Zubebi's location, in one of the island's most scenic areas, allows easy access to points of interest such as the Specchio di Venere Lake (Mirror of Venus). Staying here means experiencing the true essence of Pantelleria: the silence, the intense scents of the Mediterranean, and direct contact with the power of the volcanic landscape, making every moment a total wellness experience.

His Opinion: Sehr schöne und natürliche Insel. Allerdings auch sehr ruhig - für unseren Geschmack hätte es ein wenig lebhafter sein dürfen. Aber das lag bestimmt daran, dass wir Ende Mai da waren, das war zu früh. Die meisten Restaurants/Cafes öffnen erst später. Auch wegen der Temperaturen würde ich nicht vor Juni hinfahren; im Mai war es noch recht kalt auf der Insel.
Das Zubebi Resort ist sehr hübsch und geschmackvoll renoviert. Die Besitzer sprechen leider kein Englisch, deshalb ist es schwer Kontakt zu bekommen. Alle Mitarbeiter sind jedoch sehr nett und bemühen sich sehr um die Gäste.
