Italy’s medical spa hotels bring clinical expertise together with la dolce vita. In the mountain air of South Tyrol, Palace Merano is a five-star medical wellness retreat with medical staff on site, while near Bologna the Lucia Magnani Health Clinic specialises in longevity and preventative care. In the hills of Lazio, Palazzo Fiuggi offers world-leading health programmes, and on the island of Capri, Capri Palace Jumeirah is known for its anti-cellulite and vascular leg treatments.
Several of these hotels are adults-only, making them ideal for a focused health break without distractions.
Our favourite feature at Palazzo Fiuggi is its unique Food as Medicine philosophy, where personalised nutrition meets exceptional cuisine by three Michelin star chef Heinz Beck, creating a dining experience that is as considered as the resort’s wider approach to health and longevity.
We love the location of this resort - the spectacular view from the outdoor pool overlooking Lake Garda and the natural landscape is simply breath-taking. Perfect for finding your inner balance and harmony.
The ADLER Spa Resort enjoys a unique position in the beautiful Orcia Valley, featuring top-quality spa facilities and panoramic thermal water pools. Guests can experience the healing properties of Bagno Vignoni's 2000-year-old spring, rich in precious elements, and have unlimited access to five distinct saunas and revitalizing refreshments from two Vital bars.
Preidlhof is located on the 46° parallel where the Mediterranean climate begins, offering a unique microclimate where palm, lemon, and olive trees flourish alongside snow-capped mountains. This dual character trait influences the resort’s holistic approach to wellness, making it a one-of-a-kind destination for year-round rejuvenation.
While each aspect of the generous spa is world-class, the salt water lake really stands out. Comprising the mineral dimension of your journey through water, fire and ice, the salt lake and salt grotto provide essential, enriching minerals for your skin and body, completing your wellness immersion.
We loved Il Riccio Beach Club, the cliffside restaurant overlooking the Blue Grotto, as lovers of seafood it was pure bliss to eat delicious food, soak up the sunshine and feast our eyes on the views all day.
Central to Palace Merano's offerings is the renowned Revital Method, a holistic approach that combines Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern diagnostics and therapies. The 6,000 m² wellness centre, renovated in 2023, features state of the art facilities including indoor and outdoor pools, hydrotherapy suites, saunas, and a dedicated medical floor equipped with an in house laboratory for swift health assessments.
