Perched above the Mediterranean, Sciacca is a historic spa town whose hot springs and mud baths have been renowned since antiquity. Steam once rose from natural grottoes where Romans and Arabs bathed, and today spa resorts and pools continue that tradition. The town is also known for its fishing port, colourful ceramics, and lively carnival. Overlooking both sea and hills, Sciacca blends wellness with Sicilian rhythm — restorative, authentic, and deeply rooted in history.

Closer to Tunisia than Sicily, Pantelleria is a volcanic island where fire and water shape the landscape. Natural hot springs bubble up along the coast, while ancient dammusi stone houses dot the hillsides. Lago di Venere, a crater lake fed by thermal waters, invites open-air soaks with views of vines and rugged cliffs. With its wild coastline, caper farms, and hidden coves, Pantelleria feels elemental and remote — an island where bathing and nature are inseparable.

Set high above the Ionian Sea, Taormina is Sicily’s most iconic resort town, famed for its Greek theatre with Mount Etna as a backdrop. Cobbled streets wind past elegant cafés and boutiques, while terraces open to dazzling sea views. Beaches below, including Isola Bella, offer crystal waters and sunlit afternoons. Though not a spa town, Taormina’s wellness is in its setting: fresh air, Mediterranean ease, and the drama of volcano and sea combined. Romantic and refined, Taormina is the jewel of Sicily’s east coast.

Cradle of the Renaissance, Florence dazzles with its cathedral dome, Uffizi masterpieces, and Ponte Vecchio sunsets. Yet beyond its grand museums and frescoed chapels, the city also offers quieter pleasures — gardens scented with citrus, boutique artisans hammering leather or gold, and cafés where locals linger over espresso. As a finale to Tuscany’s thermal journey, Florence pairs cultural splendour with moments of repose, a fitting balance of body and spirit.
