During my travel journey even today I vividly remember the name “Ischia”. Not just for its island atmospheres for its excellent location for premier wellness retreat in Europe. If you’re eagerly looking for how to make a successful wellness and natural spa I strongly recommend don’t miss to choose Ischia.
There are plenty of things that positively affect your natural thermal
baths. Out of that, its vast amount of unique natural thermal springs and
distinct blend of ancient therapeutic traditions and modern relaxation make
every visitor choose their primary wellness destination.
What You Can Expect When Planning Wellness Trip to Ischia
1. Its Thermal Parks
As I said earlier Ischia is often dotted with a good number of natural thermal springs and makes excellent hubs of Thermal Parks. These parks are even called Spa gardens where you expect wellness or spa experience through large and landscaped centric locations.
What is included within thermal parks are not indoor spas, they are
sprawling botanical gardens built around natural hot springs. Everyone is
allowed to dip its pools at varying temperatures, steam grottoes throughout
entire day along with enjoying sea views. Let’s dig a little deeper, which are
the most thermal parks you can choose to soak in mineral rich water.
- Giardini Poseidon Terme
Since it is the largest thermal park most backpackers choose as their
first preference including me. What I really want to say about this park is its
location. Located at the edge of the beautiful Cotara Bay, where you have an
option to choose 20 different thermal pools, natural steam saunas and easy
access to beach areas.
- Negombo
If you haven’t experienced hydro massage, I wish you could do it at
Negombo. Located amidst the lush valley of Ischia often known for its unique
styles of pools and artistic landscapes.
- Castiglione Thermal Park
Another location centric thermal park which primarily designed those
who’re willing to spend more dramatic cliffside locations. Castiglione Park is
an excellent option to you if you are ready to feel more secluded enjoyment at
its natural hot and cool sea water pools.
2. Its Natural and Wild Springs
Did you know one ultimate advantage from Ischia is that it is completely
free to access under a more rugged and authentic thermal experience. And it
would be done at this natural and wild springs.
- Sorgeto
Most eye catching natural thermal bays exhibit us to enjoy our wellness retreats where volcanic hot springs bubble up directly into the sea. Here it allows everybody to swim in the ocean while exposing pockets of intense heat.
The point to remember at Sorgeto is, you need to reach this thermal
point only through long sets of stone stairs, so be prepared for a little bit
of hiking to reach its pools.
- Fumarole Beach
Also called “Maronti”, even today millions of wellness lovers are looking for sand baths and volcano activity. If you’re one of them I strongly suggest Fumarole Beach to you. Reason is a simple, place perfectly known for strong volcanic activity, moreover traditional oriented heat therapies for sand baths.
Experience these activities better to make with experience guides or
designated areas to avoid burning.
3. Its Therapeutic Traditions
We shouldn’t miss out on this part. What exactly you’ll get once you dip in water and what kind of changes you can see at your body and mind. Most of its pools contain thermal waters which include mineral rich contents such as bromine, iodine and sulphur. These things make some sort of changes to the human body and are used as treatment for various physical conditions including arthritis, respiratory issues and skin ailments.
Choose valid hotels like Albergo Della Regina Isabella or Le Querc Resort to include all your
wellness packages including mud therapy or fango. Mud therapy is purely done by
local volcanic muds where you can spread across your body parts to reduce
inflammation and detoxify the body.
4. Its Active Wellness
Besides its wellness and therapeutic benefits, you have an option to do activities like hiking and try local cuisines. Yes, Ischia isn’t just limiting its advantage to the health and relaxation benefits, the island is perfectly eligible for us to enjoy the beauties of green and mountain landscapes.
The island's slopes of Mount Epomeo provide a great option for us to take hiking trails to enjoy nearby attractions of cardio and the epic beauty of the Gulf of Naples. Start your hike early in the morning to see beauties with great sunrise views.
Extend your local activities apart from wellness to try Mediterranean
Diet. The island is a perfect destination to try local fresh seafood, vegan and
complementing restorative retreats.
What to Remember at Ischia
1. Season
Going to Ischia during the warmer months between May and October is
really a welcoming idea. During these periods you have an opportunity to dip in
its water with a temperature between 22℃ to 27℃. However, warmer
months are an ideal time to see surrounding mountains and landscapes in a more
clear and green environment under lesser crowds.
2. Accommodations
It is very important where to stay in Ischia. Choosing to stay at their
own private thermal pools is a great idea if you dislike heavy crowds at large
public parks during peak summer season.
3. Footwear’s
Don’t forget to add sturdy sandals or water shoes in your travel
backpack before leaving your accommodation to its natural spots. Most of the
rock and stair sections can be hot or slippery, buy trail and water friendly
shoes or sandals to Ischia.
