Terme di Baia Naples Phlegraean is a thermal spa in Bacoli, a municipality on the Phlegraean Fields (Campi Flegrei) peninsula west of Naples, Italy, built upon one of the ancient world's most celebrated resort destinations — Baiae, the legendary Roman thermal resort where Julius Caesar, Augustus, and Nero bathed in the volcanic springs of this hyperactive caldera landscape. The naturally bicarbonate thermal waters here flow from the Phlegraean Fields' intense volcanic activity — a supervolcano system where bradyseism periodically submerges and re-emerges the ancient Roman villas, temples, and bath complexes that now form the underwater archaeological park of Baia. Bathing in the thermal waters of the Phlegraean Fields above the submerged ruins of antiquity's most famous spa resort, in the volcanic shadow of Vesuvius across the Bay of Naples, offers one of the world's most historically resonant and geologically spectacular hot spring experiences.
Insider tip — Terme di Baia sits within the volcanic Campi Flegrei caldera on the northern shore of the Gulf of Pozzuoli, drawing bicarbonate-rich hydrothermal water at 37°C from one of antiquity's most celebrated pleasure resorts. Roman emperors and senators built elaborate pleasure complexes here, and the partially submerged ruins of the ancient Portus Julius are visible just offshore by glass-bottomed boat. The phenomenon of bradyseism — slow volcanic ground uplift and subsidence — has shaped and reshaped this coastline for millennia. The Archaeological Park of Baia museum houses stunning recovered Roman statuary from the underwater site.
