Naturalis Bio Resort & Spa

Enjoy a charming Italy stay at a luxe eco-spa retreat in Martano, near Lecce, including breakfast, optional dinner, a welcome drink and spa perks

Set among fragrant lavender groves, pomegranate orchards, aloe vera plantations and olive trees, Naturalis Bio Resort & Spa is the ultimate hideaway for those seeking a rural Italian countryside retreat. Located in what was once a traditional Salento village, this boutique resort has lovingly restored the original pastel-hued farmsteads and thatched barns to create a simple but luxurious eco-experience that is brimming with old-world charm and character. The hotel has smoothly scooped a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence.

Housed within terracotta villages, simple but elegant rooms ooze rustic chic, each with their own attractive terrace that offers swoon-worthy views over the natural surroundings. There’s a bijou spa where you can enjoy a soak in the hammam or a treatment using wheat, wine, olive oil or aloe extracts.

Spend your days lounging poolside, or in the saltwater pool itself, renting a bike and enjoying a leisurely cycle through the pergola-shaded gardens, or indulging in a wine-tasting session with the on-site sommelier.
