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).

Magical long weekend with family

We had a great stay here as a family with two children of 10 and 12 years. The service was really exceptional – all the staff were friendly, helpful and made us feel very welcome from the first moment. The rooms were nice, comfortable and well maintained, and the food was consistently very good with something for the whole family. Also recommend to try local wines. The hotel had a calm and lovely atmosphere that made it easy to relax and enjoy the holiday together. Loved the spa and the small hot pools outdoors. On Friday night, they also had world-class live music at the bar. The artist who sang had an incredible voice! We would absolutely love to come back and can warmly recommend the hotel to other families!

Excellent hotel, beautiful and first class infrastructure and a level of service from the staff rarely seen and clearly above expectations, even by luxury hotels standards. We will certainly return and had an exceptional time.

Magical Place

Botania Relais&Spa was by far the best hotel experience I have ever had. The staff were incredible. They were incredibly caring and kind and thought of things that I didn’t think I needed by myself. The spa was so calming and relaxing with the hot steam room adding to the atmosphere. Anna and her Team treated us like family which warmed my heart. My husband ended up in the hospital after an accident and the hotel sent a lovely representative to keep me company, provide support and translation assistance. Antonio helped me find my way several times and was always happy to drive and pick me back up. I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful, magical place.

Facilities were immaculate! Staff was very friendly, professional and attentive! SPA is very good. We were using it almost every day. Shuttle service very convenient and helpful to move around, taking us to near by attractions, restaurants and towns. We would love to come back one day.
