Hotel Botania Relais and Spa

Ischia is a beautiful Italian island located just across from the coast of Naples. Shrouded in legend, Ischia is renowned for its thermal springs that are said to have healing properties.

With lush green parks and stunning panoramas at every turn, you’ll understand why Ischia is known as the Green Island, making it an ideal retreat for your Italian island holiday.

Along the western coast of Ischia is where you will find Botania Resort & Spa, a 15 minute drive from the town of Forio.

Exuding elegance and Mediterranean character, this sprawling property is conveniently located. With a short ten minute walk down some steps you will find yourself in the seaside town of Lacco Ameno, which has a charming harbour dotted with restaurants and shops, luxury spas, and Greek ruins.

Ischia’s thermal springs can be enjoyed in public baths, but can easily be found naturally trickling away across the island’s beautiful landscapes.

Head to Negombo Thermal Park, tucked away in San Montano Bay and just 350 metres from Botania Resort & Spa, where you can unwind on white sands in a tropical setting and benefit from the thermal springs. Or visit the Poseidon Gardens, officially Europe’s largest thermal springs park.

With a fresh ocean breeze never far away, Ischia is encircled by sandy beaches, with sweeping forested mountains and the dormant Ischia Volcano in its midst. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can take the 16 mile round hike to Mount Epomeo, the island’s highest mountain.

Located at the other side of the island is the natural rock spa of Cava Scura, which overlooks Ischia’s largest beach, Spiaggia di Maronti, boasting warm gulf waters all year around.

You can also take a boat to the beaches and attractions at the south of the island, including San Pancrazio and Scarrupata.

One of Ishchia’s most impressive attractions is Castello Aragonese, which proudly perches on volcanic rock and is connected to Ischia island by a bridge. This medieval castle is the grand setting of the annual Ischia Film Festival, which attracts film stars and celebrities from across the globe.

Ischia is equally famed for its ancient artisanal and culinary traditions. During your stay, we encourage you to taste the local specialities, including grilled swordfish and Ischia’s signature dish of braised rabbit, which is available in many of the island’s eateries.

If you wish to venture away from Ischia, then the glittering coastline of the Amalfi Coast, the island of Capri, and the ancient city of Pompeii in Naples are all close by.

Your luxury, adults-only holiday in Ischia awaits.
