Ischia Holidays

Discover one of Italy’s most beautiful islands on Ischia holidays where endless waters and thermal springs meet Italian fashion and glittering nightlife.

Your first peek of these exquisite islands as you glide over the Tyrrhenian Sea is good indication of why the rich and famous love holidays to Capri and Ischia. It’s all dazzling blue waters, silver sands lined with colourful parasols and pretty towns tumbling down the hills. We love hiking the Via Krupp on Capri - one of the most beautiful roads in the world, lapping the sensational coastline on board a luxury yacht and rowing into that famous translucent Blue Grotto in the late afternoon once the crowds have dispersed.

Holidays to Capri and Ischia are a vivacious combination of laid-back modern glamour and ancient beauty. There are the exclusive shopping streets of Via Camerelle in Capri and Corso Vittoria Colonna in Ischia and then the Roman ruins of Villa Jovis and medieval remnants of Castello Arogonese. Dress up to the nines and congregate with the locals at vibrant piazzettas, or slink off for drinks under a seductive sunset. Sweat it out at bubbling hot springs, putter along to secret coves or hike inland towards Ischia’s white lava and wildflower fields where you’ll come across the tiny village of Serrara Fontana and the most amazing coniglio on the island.

Ischia
There’s the beautiful 8th-18th-Century ruins of Castello Aragonese in the old town, the lively seaside piazzetta at the heart of Ischia’s social hub and the picturesque pastel coloured fishing village of Sant’Angelo on the south coast, filled with boutiques and restaurants. Head to the west coast for the best beaches, Ischia Porto for the glittering nightlife and Corso Vittoria Colonna for the designer shops. Hike up to lush Mount Epomeo for panoramic views of the Bay of Naples, spend a day at the famous La Fontelina lido and go down to the bubbling hot springs of Sorgeto, one of the biggest attractions in Ischia. The island is known as the 'Capital of European Spa' as it boasts over 300 spas.

Food & drink
Restaurants sit in pretty lemon groves, on the edge of a cliff or surrounding the ruins of Greek walls. There are perfect sunset spots for cocktails and views, and lots of pretty cafes dotted in and out a maze of cobblestoned streets. Up in the hills of Ischia, rabbit is a specialty, always cooked in a terracotta baking pan, and we recommend trying the island’s local white wines produced from Biancollela with a grape exclusively found on Ischia.
