Parc Thermal Negombo

Parco Termale Negombo on the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples occupies the exquisite Baia di San Montano, widely considered the most beautiful bay on Ischia, where the chloride-rich volcanic spring waters of this thermally exceptional island feed a sequence of thirteen pools designed as an open-air garden of art and nature by Count Luigi Silvestro Camerini, who created the park in 1946 inspired by a visit to Negombo in Sri Lanka. The volcanic thermal water of Ischia, heated by the same geological processes that created the island through successive eruptions over the past 150,000 years, sits within a long thermal tradition associated with well-being that dates back to classical antiquity, when Ischia was known to the Greeks as Aenaria and described by Strabo for its volcanic nature. The park's extraordinary combination of botanical gardens, sculpture installations, thermal pools, and a private beach within the most beautiful bay on Italy's most thermally gifted island creates one of the Mediterranean's most complete luxury wellness environments.
