In THE SPA the mind and body find their equilibrium.

THE SPA provides the ideal escape: a range of treatments which
combine the philosophies of European and Oriental traditions,
a gym equipped with the most up-to-date technology, a Zen
studio with classes in Swasthya Yoga, a relaxation area and the
“heat experience”, mixed sauna and hammam (Turkish bath).
An indoor swimming pool with hydrofun classes, the “vitality
experience”, and a hairdressing salon can be found as well.

Our concept takes as its staring point the Seven Pillars of
Starwood essential for well-being: Beauty, Harmony, Water,
Vitality, Equilibrium, Nature and Nutrition. The result is a
place of pure leisure and relaxation, where the tensions of
everyday life are dispelled.

THE SPA has seven treatment rooms, one of which is a double
suite specially prepared for treatments which take a holistic
approach, caring for the face and body but without neglecting
the inner well-being. You can take advantage of various facial
and body treatments, and we would specially mention massage
with hot stones and aromatherapy, the Body Wrap and the
anti-stress treatments.

All the treatments are available for men as well as women, and
we recommend the relaxing, jet lag, and hot stone massages.
The heat experience zone comprises 3 saunas arranged by heat,
aroma and humidity, as well as a relaxation area.

THE SPA uses the “ESPA” line of products based on organic plants
known for their beneficial therapeutic powers in treatments.
THE SPA also offers a variety of healthy and balanced gastronomic
choices in the Juice Bar. There is also a collection of services at
your disposal designed to help you rediscover yourself. Your health,
beauty and physical fitness are reflected in your physical and
spiritual well-being.
