Italy: Ischia is an Italian island belonging to the Phlegraean Islands archipelago, in the metropolitan city of Naples. Famous for its thermal waters and its Mediterranean cuisine, it has historically been a place renowned for wellbeing, offering across its six municipalities the chance to stay in luxury hotels and enjoy upscale shopping.
Insider tip — Terme di Forio d'Ischia sits on the western coast of Ischia island, where the volcanic substrata of the Phlegraean Fields feeds a network of naturally hot seawater pools overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. The combination of volcanic minerals, salt air, and views of the Aragonese Castle at sunset makes this one of the most atmospherically charged thermal experiences in Italy.
