Since ancient times, the island of Ischia has been renowned for its thermal waters, which have made it one of Europe’s leading spa destinations. All the thermal parks are nestled in a magnificent natural setting, surrounded by lush greenery and the azure sea, and feature swimming pools, Kneipp circuits, saunas and massage centres.
During your stay on the island, make time to relax in one of the numerous thermal gardens, such as the Negombo Thermal Park, which boasts numerous pools arranged on the terraces of a hillside, and the Poseidon Gardens, the largest thermal park on Ischia with 20 pools set among greenery just a stone’s throw from the sea and Citara Bay.
The island of Ischia is a true thermal paradise in the Mediterranean, with over 100 springs and 29 thermal basins. Its waters, characterised by rich mineralisation, spring forth at temperatures ranging between 20° and 90°C, offering a wide range of therapeutic benefits.
Poseidon Gardens is the largest and most prestigious thermal complex on the island, spanning 60,000 square metres in the stunning Citara Bay. The twenty thermal pools, with temperatures carefully maintained between 28° and 40°C, are spread across panoramic terraces sloping down to the sea. Each pool is designed for specific therapeutic benefits: the Olympic pool at 28°C is perfect for physical activity, whilst the Kneipp pools alternate between temperatures of 15°C and 40°C to stimulate circulation.
The state-of-the-art wellness centre offers personalised treatments, from traditional therapies to innovative massages.

The panoramic restaurant serves traditional Mediterranean dishes, whilst the thermal bar offers herbal teas and fresh juices.
These ancient Roman baths represent a journey through time across two thousand years of thermal history. Carved directly from green tufa, they preserve the authentic atmosphere of the Roman era.
