Where the volcano becomes wellness
Specchio di Venere (Venus Mirror Lake)
A lake nestled in a volcanic depression, where nature has created a natural corner of relaxation. On the southern shore, hot springs warm the water, making bathing enjoyable in every season. Here you’ll also find natural muds, and the view fades into a landscape that mirrors the sky.
Grotta di Benikulà (Benikulà Cave)
A small cavity among the rocks of Sibà, from which natural steam rises. Overlooking the majestic Monastero Plain. Just sit inside the cave to enjoy a primitive sauna, where the earth slowly releases its warm breath. A simple yet soothing experience, capable of melting away tension. We recommend visiting in the morning or at sunset, when the temperatures are milder.
Gadír
A tiny fishing village that shelters natural thermal pools carved into the rock, just a few meters from the sea. Soaking here means letting your mind drift and your pace slow down. The waters of Gadír were already known to ancient sailors, who considered them a source of rest and healing.
Nikà Hot Springs
Reachable only by sea, this wild stretch of coastline—framed by dark rocks and foaming waves—is where the volcano’s warm breath meets the sea. Thermal springs bubble up directly from the rocks and blend with the saltwater, forming natural pools perfect for a dip even in cooler months.
