Botania Relais & Spa: A Green Retreat on Ischia

Botania Relais & Spa offers a different side of Ischia, the volcanic island in the Gulf of Naples: a green, garden-focused retreat set among botanical grounds on the hillside above Forio, away from the coast. With pools scattered through the park and a strong wellness focus, it is a place to slow down and reconnect with nature.

The dining reflects that ethos. Il Mirto holds a Michelin Green Star as a vegetarian restaurant built on seasonal vegetables from the relais's own garden; Il Corbezzolo serves seafood and wood-fired pizzas among the pool gardens; Cucina di Nonna Marì offers traditional home cooking; and characterful bars, including one set in a natural cave, complete the offering.

For a green, wellness-led Ischia stay, Botania is a standout.
