San Montano Resort & Spa in Ischia Unveils New Suite Vesuvio and Skincare Partnership

San Montano Resort & Spa is a luxury retreat atop Mount Vico on Italy’s volcanic island of Ischia, a renowned sanctuary of rejuvenation and healing. The hotel overlooks the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius, offering picturesque views at every turn. Founded in 2008 by the De Siano family, a force in Italian hospitality spanning three generations, San Montano reflects the island’s status as a destination where geography is foundational to its identity. “Our vision for San Montano has always been to create something that feels deeply connected to the spirit of Ischia, balancing nature, wellness, and hospitality,” says Francesco De Siano, Co-Owner and Sales Director.

The property is built over Ischia’s legendary thermal springs, which are said to offer countless therapeutic benefits and stress relief. Guests can find true tranquility in the hotel’s 11 outdoor thermal pools, four dining venues, spa specializing in volcanic mud treatment and healing waters, private speedboats, a beach club, and seven acres of lush park space. For the 2026 season, San Montano introduces a new partnership with award-winning skincare and spa line Seed to Skin Tuscany, in addition to refreshing its guest suites and debuting the new Suite Vesuvio. “This next chapter reflects our ongoing commitment to honoring the island’s heritage while continuing to shape what modern hospitality can be here,” continues De Siano.

Ocean Blu Spa Partners With Seed to Skin Tuscany

San Montano’s Ocean Blu Spa welcomes an exciting new partnership with Seed to Skin Tuscany. The line uses only the purest, raw ingredients and advanced botanical science. The brand emphasises ethical sourcing and growing as many ingredients as possible at their own certified organic farm in the heart of Tuscany. The collaboration marries the healing power of Ischia’s thermal waters with Seed to Skin’s innovative “Green Molecular Science”. The technology is based on the premise that skincare must penetrate each of the skin’s many layers in order to truly activate cell regeneration. With this in mind, Seed to Skin Tuscany uses an advanced delivery system sized to penetrate even skin’s deepest layers.

Unwind at Ocean Blu Spa with new treatment options and rituals that are unique to Ischia, including the Thermal Miracle and LeMontano Open Sky Ritual massage to help restore the body back to balance and connect guests with the island’s healing landscape.

San Montano Unveils Luxury Suite Vesuvio

At an expansive 55 square meters, Suite Vesuvio offers an open layout and boasts two private balconies that offer panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius, in addition to the Ischian coastline. Find a true home-away-from-home experience with a spacious walk-in closet and a Mediterranean-style bathroom, complete with blue geometric floor tiles, a shower, a freestanding bathtub, and double vanities.

For even more flexibility and privacy, the suite can interconnect with a Junior Suite to form an 80-square-meter private residence.

In addition to the new Suite Vesuvio, guests can continue to enjoy the famed Lighthouse Suite, which remains one of the property’s most extraordinary accommodations.
