Botania Relais & Spa - Naples

Botania Relais & Spa Ischia is a five-star, adult-only hotel, set over three hectares of lush gardens on the aptly named ‘Green Island’ of Ischia, Italy. This intimate boutique hotel features a spa, a large outdoor swimming pool and two on-site restaurants and bars.

From the Botania Relais & Spa, you can stroll down the shaded road that leads to San Montano – one of the most beautiful beaches in Ischia – or grab the hotel’s shuttle, which is especially handy for the uphill return. As a hotel guest, you benefit from a special rate for umbrella and sunbed rental. Next to the beach, you can bathe in the warm pools within Negombo Thermal Park. You can also easily walk to the restaurants and shops in Ischia’s smallest town, Lacco Ameno, which huddle around a charming harbour. Otherwise, visit the stunning Poseidon Gardens, Ischia’s largest thermal park, which overlooks the Bay of Citara. It’s less than four miles away.

You can take a ferry or hydrofoil from Naples to the island, where you can pick up a private transfer, bus or taxi from Ischia Porto and Forio ports. The drive to the hotel takes about five minutes from either port, while the drive from the third port, Casamicciola Terme, takes about 20 minutes. Naples International Airport is approximately 30 miles from the hotel.

Botania Relais & Spa Ischia features 40 elegant rooms and suites, located in 10 villas around the resort, surrounded by tropical gardens and floral footpaths. Some face the fragrant gardens, while others overlook the sea. The bright Superior Rooms, 28 m2, feature a terrace overlooking the garden, as well as a satellite TV, Wi-Fi, electronic safe and a minibar containing soft drinks. They are furnished in a typical Mediterranean style, characterised by ceramic flooring and walls in light and bright tones. The elegant Ortensia Suite is the largest room with 65 m2 of space with sea, gulf and surrounding landscape views. Its sleeping area consists of a bedroom with comfortable queen-sized bed, whilst the second bedroom has two single beds. In addition, there is a spacious living room with a sofa and a large terrace that features a mini Jacuzzi.
