Spot: Terme di Forio (Italy)
Ischia is an Italian island that is part of 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 occupies the western coast of Ischia island, the volcanic counterpart to Capri in the Bay of Naples, where bicarbonate-rich thermal waters emerge from the island's active hydrothermal system. Forio's whitewashed village backdrop and terraced gardens tumbling to the sea create a quintessentially Mediterranean setting. Ischia's thermal tradition dates back to Greek colonization, and the island hosts more thermal establishments per square kilometer than anywhere else in Italy.
