Ischia: Die grüne Insel neu enteckt

Warum Ischia?

Long known for its thermal baths and old-school Italian summer charm, Ischia is currently experiencing a quieter, more sophisticated revival. Beyond the faded glamour, a new generation of stylish openings, atmospheric boutique stays and design-conscious restaurants is attracting a more discerning, international crowd – without losing the island’s authenticity. Greener and more dramatic than many Mediterranean islands, Ischia feels almost cinematic with its volcanic mountains, lush gardens and endless sea views. Food lovers will appreciate that the culinary scene still feels genuinely local, far away from the overly polished tourist hotspots of the Amalfi Coast.

Perfect for a few slower days before or after the Amalfi Coast, Ischia rewards travellers who prefer atmosphere over spectacle. And then there is Faro Punta Imperatore: a remote lighthouse hideaway perched above the ocean, offering one of the island’s most unforgettable sunset settings. It is the kind of place that feels almost unreal – but also one that requires a certain adventurous spirit to reach. Not a conventional luxury stay, but precisely the sort of rare experience that makes Ischia so memorable.

Easily reached via Naples, Ischia also combines perfectly with a wider Southern Italy itinerary including Capri, Procida, Positano, Ravello or the Amalfi Coast. Smaller and wonderfully authentic, nearby Procida makes an especially charming addition for those looking to explore beyond the more polished hotspots.
