Closer to Africa than its big sister, Sicily, Pantelleria feels like a well-kept little secret of the
Mediterranean. It pulses with raw volcanic frequency yet beckons you discreetly and quietly,
albeit for an extraordinary experience.
Born of ancient eruptions, Pantelleria is still very much alive beneath the surface creating an open-air spa above. With seaside hot springs, fumaroles, natural cave sauna, rock formations and hidden coves, the black pearl delivers big healing energy. The island even boasts its own heart-shaped thermal lake – Lago di Venere – where the Roman goddess of love and beauty is said to have mirrored in its waters.
In fact, “love, beauty, magic, mother, healing, protection” are some of the words that inspired this special sanctum. And ever so befittingly, Isis, the Egyptian goddess healer and protector known for her wisdom, resilience and magical powers, graces the island’s earliest bronze coins.
