Villa Lina - Ischia, Italy - 26th August - 2nd Sept 2023
Re-furbished and re-opening in 2023
Situated on the thermal island of Ischia in the bay of Naples on the side of the cliff, this purpose built yoga centre has amazing views in every direction - all the way to the Isle of Capri!
Our Yoga Venue
This is a very rustic venue in a stunning and unspoilt area of Ischia. This part of the island has a natural, untouched feel and amazing views of the Mediterranean.
Just off the Amalfi Coast, the island of Ischia boasts natural wonders such as a dormant volcano, lush gardens, thermal spas, clear beaches, ancient ruins, and endless views across the Bay of Naples.
One of the worlds first health spa destinations, Italians (and Romans, before that) in the know would flock to Ischia to indulge in its mineral-rich volcanic mud and waters.
We are in a corner of paradise in the south of the island, perched high above the Mediterranean, with lush and wild organic gardens, surrounded by unspoiled nature, overlooking an endless sea.
The family is committed to sustainable and environmentally friendly practices and grow fresh herbs and vegetables in their garden for your meals.
This area is beautiful, with fabulous sunrises and sunsets, olive groves, palm trees and wild flowers of beautiful colours will be your companions alongside silence and relaxation.
Two swimming pools:
An outdoor fresh water pool on the terrace for sunbathing with deck chairs, beds, chairs and umbrellas.
This pool is refilled every Friday with the natural mineral rich water of the island.
There is also an indoor thermal pool with temperature of 34 / 36 degrees.
This is situated in a sauna-cave completely covered with mosaics of pumice stone.
The Area:
The village of Panza is close by for cafés and shopping. There are also optional carefully-planned day-trips to offer guests a full experience of Ischia.
These include the village of Ischia Ponte for a visit to the picturesque Castello Aragonese and artisanal shopping in Ischia Porto. A guided mountain walk will also be offered.
Within 30 minutes walk are the natural hot springs at Sorgeto, which are one of the biggest attractions in Ischia.
The island's underground volcanic activity bubbles up from beneath and naturally heats a series of rock pools.
By climbing down the many steps towards a tiny beach in a wonderfully picturesque cove, visitors are able to bathe in a variety of pools, each with slightly different water temperatures.
Bathers usually spend the day here enjoying what is effectively a natural jacuzzi which soothes and massages the body to ease aches and pains.
Yoga
Yoga is twice a day with one day off for excursions. The first class in the morning will be a hatha flow class before breakfast after which your day is your own. Our second yoga class of the day will be more restorative in the late afternoon after which we will all have dinner together.
We have a choice of two yoga spaces
There is a purpose built yoga studio with sliding glass doors looking out to the garden and the endless ocean.
There is also an open stone pavilion build into the cliff which is perfect for evening restorative yoga.
Yoga mats, blocks and belts are provided
