Treatments in the Spa

The resort’s volcanic spa is another big lure, with transformative therapies inspired by the natural world, local traditions and Roman bathing rituals, and with treatments carried out in an outdoor cabana should you wish.

The fêted Wellness Experience is inspired by the baths and steam rooms of ancient Rome, utilising a variety of extreme hot and cold temperatures to eliminate toxins and stimulate the metabolism. A popular feature of the experience is the Turkish-style herbal steam bath which can be flavoured with the delicate flavours of essential oils. There’s also a cold cabin which cools guests right down with a refreshing shower of arctic rain, interspersed with sessions in the sauna or Hammam.
