A Historic Mediterranean Legend on the Bay of Naples
Overlooking a tranquil private marine bay in the picturesque seaside town of Lacco Ameno on the volcanic island of Ischia, Regina Isabella Resort SPA Restaurant has represented the quintessential Italian dolce vita since 1956. Founded by legendary filmmaker Angelo Rizzoli and a proud member of The Leading Hotels of the World, this iconic haven was the favored playground of Hollywood icons including Clark Gable, Elizabeth Taylor, and Maria Callas.
Comprising three architecturally harmonious wings—the historic Regina Isabella, the waterfront Sporting, and the ultra-exclusive Royal Wing—the resort features 128 individually decorated rooms and royal suites. Accommodations showcase radiant hand-painted Vietri and Capodimonte ceramic tiles, Murano glass chandeliers, antique furnishings, and private sun terraces overlooking the turquoise Bay of Naples and the iconic “Fungo” mushroom rock.
Culinary prestige is celebrated at the one-Michelin-starred Indaco, where Executive Chef Pasquale Palamaro crafts inventive seafood tasting journeys right above the water's edge using seafood caught fresh from the bay and organic produce from the hotel's private estate gardens. Additional dining venues include the panoramic DolceVita Restaurant, the poolside Sporting Restaurant, and the famed piano cocktail lounge. The resort's crowning jewel is the Regina Isabella Thermal Spa, drawing directly from the bioactive, mineral-rich thermal springs of Santa Restituta, revered since ancient Greek and Roman times for natural healing, mud baths, and Roman grottos.
