Grotta di Benikulà (Bagno Asciutto)
Bagno Asciutto di Benikulà
Hot, humid steam seeps from volcanic rock caves, forming a natural sauna. A unique volcanic experience on the island.
Grotta di Benikulà lies on the southwest slope of Montagna Grande, near the village of Sibà. Steam of about 40°C constantly seeps from the rock crevices, and after sitting inside for a few minutes you'll be sweating heavily. Locals call it the 'dry bath'. It's about a 15-minute walk from the parking spot along a stone-stepped trail. Admission is free, but the cave is small, so visitors must queue to enter in turns. People with heart disease or high blood pressure should avoid it. Bring water and a towel.
