Vulcano, Italy

Therasia

A resort on Vulcanello, where the volcano sets the swim, the spa, and a plant-based kitchen with two Michelin stars.

Our read

I Tenerumi, which they describe as plant-based, prints two Michelin stars. Il Cappero prints a Michelin star for 2025, and a green star. They also say, plainly, that the resort has no sandy beach. The sand is elsewhere on Vulcano, by their shuttle. The rock is the shore.

Come here for

  • A swim from the rock, with Lipari across the channel
  • Plant-based cooking at I Tenerumi, which they credit with two Michelin stars
  • A week shaped by Slow Living, Spa Recharge, or the Vegetarian Experience

Skip it if

  • You want a sandy beach at the hotel. They say they do not have one.
  • You are travelling with young children. Few family rooms, no kids club, and the spa is not for guests under 16.

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.

01 - Arrive

The place itself

Therasia Resort is at Località Vulcanello, 98050 Vulcano, in the Aeolian Islands. The telephone they print is +39 090 9852555. Book on therasiaresort.it. The hotel looks across the channel at Lipari. The island organizes the stay: cactus and cliff, water that drops away at the swim ladder, and a kitchen built around what a volcano will grow. They say the resort does not have a sandy beach. Sea access is by ladder from the rock, and the seabed drops off immediately. The sandy beaches of Vulcano are elsewhere, reached by their shuttle at set times. The outdoor pool is an infinity pool, with a jacuzzi and a waterfall, holding the next island in view. I Tenerumi is the plant-based restaurant. They write that it has been honored with two Michelin stars. Il Cappero, in their wording, earned a Michelin star in 2025 and a green star. Both want a reservation. The tables are few. The wellness collection they publish includes yoga, pilates, meditation, and personal training on a weekly schedule, plus private lessons. The spa is not open to guests under 16. They keep a limited number of family rooms and do not run a kids club. Arrival, as they describe it, is Catania Fontanarossa, a private car to the port of Milazzo of about 1 hour 45 minutes, then the public hydrofoil. On the island their shuttle runs at scheduled times. Stays they name include a Vegetarian Experience, Slow Living, Spa Recharge, and Therasia Active for three nights or five.

Why it is different

Vulcanello

Località Vulcanello, 98050 Vulcano. The channel in front of the hotel is Lipari.

The ladder, not a beach

They say there is no sandy beach at the resort. You enter the sea from the rock, and the bottom drops away at once.

Two kitchens

I Tenerumi is plant-based, and they print two Michelin stars. Il Cappero prints a Michelin star for 2025, and a green star.

A week with a shape

Yoga, pilates, and meditation sit on a weekly schedule. The stays they name include Slow Living, Spa Recharge, and a Vegetarian Experience.

The crossing

Catania, a car to Milazzo of about 1 hour 45 minutes, then the hydrofoil. Their shuttle meets the island.

How the days go

  1. Arrive

    Catania Fontanarossa, then a private car to the port of Milazzo, about 1 hour 45 minutes as they describe it, and the public hydrofoil to Vulcano. Their shuttle runs on the island.

  2. Feel

    Cactus, cliff, and the channel. The infinity pool holds Lipari. At the ladder the water is clear and deep at once.
