Address
Via Provinciale Lacco, 284 - Forio

Nature, wellness and local cuisine: this is Botania Relais & Spa in Forio, a relais set within a 3-hectare park built using natural materials and alternative energy sources, with an organic farm supplying 70% of the kitchen's produce.

Ten villas in the green

The resort has 10 white Mediterranean-style villas set throughout the park among olive trees, aromatic herbs and fruit trees, each designed to offer complete privacy and quiet. Categories range from Superior, Premium, De Luxe with garden-view patio, Master, Signature and Junior Suite up to Suite, with the exclusive Open Plan Suite with Jacuzzi at the top of the range.

The Open Plan Suite with Jacuzzi is the most immersive stay at the relais, with open-plan spaces and a private Jacuzzi set within the park's natural surroundings.

Three restaurants, one philosophy

The dining offer spans three distinct concepts. Il Corbezzolo, set on a bright Mediterranean terrace, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with fresh fish and local meat. Il Mirto is the relais's vegetarian fine dining restaurant, looking out over its own organic garden and the first restaurant on Ischia to receive a Michelin Green Star. Nonna Marì is the house kitchen: light lunches on a terrace in the upper terraced woodland, private dinners in a traditional farmhouse setting and cooking classes. The Bar La Grotta occupies a natural cave carved into the tuff rock, while Bar Iris serves poolside drinks under an olive-shaded pergola.

Wellness and the outdoors

The Garden Spa offers regenerative pools and personalised wellness programmes. Outside, a semi-Olympic pool and two heated spring-water pools are available to guests alongside an outdoor gym, yoga in nature sessions (mid-May to September) and an amphitheatre. A free shuttle runs to the beaches of Lacco Ameno and Forio and to the Negombo thermal park (with beach service included from 1 July to 31 August).

Spent 5 nights here after a week in Positano and before a couple of days in Naples. What a wonderful tranquil experience in a beautiful setting with outstanding service. Lovely warm 20m length outdoor pool and quiet immaculate gardens with lots to discover round hidden corners. All the staff were super helpful. Beautiful cove beach only 10 min walk away which was fabulous for swimming in. Highly recommended.
