LUDO Dine & Vibe 
3 Gluten-Free Pastry Shops in Milan 
With the arrival of the New Year, we always set ourselves new goals, often related to taking care of ourselves and reducing daily stress. Commitments, work, family and social life, however, often come between us and the achievement of these good intentions, reducing the time – and the desire – to pursue that much-deserved need for wellbeing that we feel after the holidays. Luckily, in Milan you can find numerous addresses for your every need for relaxation and beauty.
Spas in the Lombard capital will make you glow with treatments customised to your needs, while hairdressing salons will revive your hair with fashionable cuts and ad hoc colouring. Gyms, on the other hand, will help you lose the calories accumulated during the holidays with fun workouts, to the rhythm of music and followed by the best professionals. Flawless has selected the wellness addresses in Milan to try in January for a complete makeover in view of the new year.
SPA CASA CIPRIANI
Via Palestro, 24
One of the most interesting innovations in the luxury hotel sector could not fail to have a first-class spa. The Wellness Centre at Casa Cipriani is, it almost goes without saying, refined, beautiful, almost heavenly. Divided into a Spa and a Beauty Centre, the Wellness Centre designed by Studio Apostoli is characterised by precious materials and a harmonious and elegant environment. The Spa is accessible through a scenographic gallery that conveys the feeling of being in the middle of the sea, as in the Venetian lagoon. The men’s area, made of wood and stone, is inspired by the Japanese Onsen (typical spas of the Asian country). Inside you will find the glassed-in Finnish sauna, the steam bath covered in green onyx, the ice waterfall and the emotional showers. The women’s area, on the other hand, features softer, curvier shapes and is distinguished by the use of stone mosaics shaded in pink and red. Here you will find a Finnish sauna made of cedar wood and an exclusive hammam with a vaulted ceiling covered in French red marble. In conclusion, are you ready to treat yourself like kings and queens?
GREEN ACTIVE
Via S. Michele del Carso, 5
Innovation and sustainability: the 2 words that best describe the Made in Italy Green Active reality. A concept that combines in-person fitness with a remote coaching formula, as well as an app that can be used to develop a loyalty programme that encourages the user to lead a healthy and eco-sustainable life. The services offered by Green Active can be used remotely or at home thanks to the numerous personal trainers scattered throughout Italy, thus offering the opportunity to train in the most efficient but also the most comfortable way possible. The innovative gym is structured through a small path that requires the intervention of different professionals: a visit with a kinesiologist, an expert in movement, a subsequent visit with a supervisor who assesses the physical fitness of the future client through specialised tests. This is followed by an appointment with a nutritionist, to combine training with the right diet, and then training appointments with a personal trainer who will follow you step by step.
PURE WELLNESS
Piazza Ernesto de Angeli, Via Ernesto Breda, 1
Pure Wellness was founded in Milan in 2014 as the first Personal Training Studio, its founders like to define it as a ‘gym not a gym’ precisely because of the innovative way in which it is set up and in which it wants to take care of those who have chosen to train with its methodologies and its professionals. Pure is a true laboratory where a team of specialists devotes itself every day to the well-being of its clients with a science-based approach. Functional training, yoga, pilates, golf athletic training, running training, personal training at home many activities, true, but a single objective, namely to promote total wellness through a tailor-made training path aimed at feeling good.
SPAZIO IKOS
Via Luigi Pirandello, 4/A
The Christmas holidays are always a wonderful time, yet the lunches and dinners that have followed without interruption call for a detox and remise en forme intervention in January that is nothing short of necessary. Fortunately, there is Spazio Ikos, the refined and cosy refuge in Via Pirandello, which opens its doors to wellness with a pampering dedicated to you during the first month of the new year. A place where beauty and wellness have been the priority for over 30 years with treatments that are the result of experience, professionalism, updating and love for the skin care of body and face. Spazio Ikos is a precious salon for everything related to relaxation and well-being on a physical and mental level.
HAIR COMPANY
Viale Vittorio Veneto, 10
A salon in which grey tones dominate, ‘softened’ by vases filled with boldly coloured flowers and leather and velvet armchairs that touch on different shades of green. Hair Company is a salon dedicated to the care of your hair with a fascinating aesthetic and full of personality. Treating yourself to a freshening up of your look, especially at the beginning of the year, is an almost obligatory decision and we all know very well how hair, especially for the female public, is a fundamental tool for asserting one’s character, one’s style, but also an important change that can often happen with the start of the new year. Head to Hair Company to start 2024 in style by giving your hair treatments and transformations that will make you feel your best.
