Castel Volturno, Italy
Former sand quarries on the Domitian coast, reborn as a natural lake oasis. Southern Italy's largest glamping resort, with Campania's first Water Spa and territory-rooted dining at RES.
Sand quarries once scarred this stretch of the Domitian coast. Now natural lakes fill the craters, ringed by unspoiled coastal vegetation. Laghi Nabi occupies this reclaimed landscape as both eco resort and nature reserve. Guests sleep in safari tents and floating lodges set directly on the water. Steam drifts off the thermal infinity pool at night, lit from below. The Tyrrhenian Sea sits just beyond the treeline.
Regeneration is not a marketing word here. It is the origin story. Every lake, every path, every structure exists because extraction was reversed into restoration. The resort runs the largest glamping village in southern Italy alongside the 4-star Plana Resort. RES restaurant, La Serra garden bar, and Campania's first Water Spa complete a place shaped by the belief that damaged land can be given back more than it lost.
Wakeboarding runs across the resort's own lakes, with kayaks and pedal boats for slower days on the water. Soft yoga sessions start at 11:00 daily, open to all levels from age sixteen. At 17:00, gong bath meditations fill the hour with sustained sound, a practice the resort describes as a sound massage promoting inner peace.
Horseback riding and bike rides follow trails through the surrounding coastal landscape. A tennis court sits on the grounds. All activities are bookable through the concierge. The lakes themselves are the main stage, whether you want to paddle at dawn or watch steam curl off the water after dark.

RES takes its name from the Latin for 'a thing that you take care of.' The kitchen maintains a deep bond with the territory without giving up experimentation. Local raw materials drive the menu, with a focus on balance of flavors and high-quality Campanian ingredients shaped by contemporary technique.
La Serra, the indoor garden bar, smells of citrus. It serves savory aperitifs and cocktails throughout the day beneath a greenhouse canopy. The Lobby Bar opens from breakfast through after-dinner hours, stocked with genuine local products and set among comfortable armchairs. Three venues, one philosophy: territory first, innovation second, care always.
The NABI Water SPA is Campania's first Water Spa. Its centerpiece is a thermal-temperature infinity pool that extends over the lake surface. At night, underwater lights reflect across the water while steam rises into a dark sky. A dedicated SPA path and Relax Area surround the pool.
Treatment packages range from day visits to the Night SPA, which turns the lakeside setting into something close to ceremony. Cervical jet features line the wellness pool's edge. The philosophy is direct: find yourself in the authenticity of nature. Water is the medium, and the reclaimed lakes provide the setting no built facility could replicate.
Laghi Nabi exists because of ecological restoration. The natural oasis was born from the reclamation of former sand quarries on the Domitian coast, turning an industrial extraction site into a living reserve of lakes and coastal vegetation. Regeneration is not a program at this resort. It is the founding act.
The concept extends into daily identity. RES restaurant carries the Latin meaning 'a thing that you take care of,' embedding stewardship into the resort's name and menu philosophy. The land itself is the most visible proof: where machines once removed sand, water now holds kayaks, herons, and thermal pools. No certification tells this story better than the landscape.
