The Spa at Mandarin Oriental

The five-star luxury hotel Mandarin Oriental, Milan has long been a benchmark in global hospitality, so it comes as no surprise that its Spa offers a day where looking after yourself becomes an exquisite escape for body and mind. Designed, like the entire hotel, by the studio Antonio Citterio & Partners, The Spa at Mandarin Oriental welcomes you with soft lighting, comfortable loungers, wood-panelled walls, veined Italian marble and calming scents.

It is a setting where elegance and design meet in complete harmony, ensuring an effortless visit you will miss the moment you leave. Unwind in the splendid pool, where calm, quiet and understated beauty set the tone, and treat yourself to one or more of the bespoke treatments on offer. Among the Signature rituals is the Dòmm de Milan: a Turkish bath, hydromassage pool and a delicious healthy break on arrival.

It begins with a foot ritual to ease you into relaxation with essential oils and acupressure, followed by a bespoke body massage for 90 minutes and an illuminating facial for 30 minutes. The Time Ritual is an outstanding holistic treatment lasting one hour and 50 minutes, where expert therapists create tailor-made rituals tailored to your individual needs. If long hours at a computer take their toll, the 80 minutes of the Digital Wellness Escape are the ideal antidote: focusing on the head, eyes, neck, shoulders, hands and feet, this restorative treatment eases tension caused by prolonged screen time. Designed specifically for the fast pace of Milan.

The Spa at Mandarin Oriental in Milan also uses products from three luxury health and beauty brands, including the Mandarin Oriental Quintessence aromatherapy collection, an exclusive line of natural oils developed around five energies based on the elements of feng shui: Awaken, Bloom, Flourish, Release and Reflect. The spa also features the premium skincare line Natura Bissé, while as an added highlight, it also uses organic ESPA products formulated with natural ingredients such as argan oil, cleansing yucca extract and anti-ageing summer snowflake bulb for innovative treatments.

This exclusive haven of physical and mental renewal naturally includes a modern gym with state-of-the-art equipment, open 24 hours a day. The wellness centre has not forgotten outdoor runners either, setting up a jogging station with complimentary morning water and towels at the hotel entrance, while personal trainers and yoga instructors are available for private sessions. Recharging 100% often calls for a little pampering, and inside The Spa at Mandarin Oriental you will also find the G Hair Stylist Salon, an acclaimed salon where you can treat your hair and look your best. If you were still wondering which luxury spa in Milan to pick for a few hours of genuine relaxation and wellness, your choice is now clear.
