Discover the Best Luxury SPA destinations in Milan and surroundings

In a city known for its style and decadence, Milan’s luxury spas redefine the meaning of both. Inside some of the city’s most exclusive 5 star hotels you will find tranquil oases with some of the best treatments, breathtaking pools and turkish baths.

Spa therapy has had a place in Italian culture since the Roman times, which explains why there’s ample opportunity in this “Bel Paese” (that means beautiful country) to pamper yourself from head-to-toe. 

A moment to rejuvenate in a city as vibrant as Milan is necessary to make the most of its enviable selection of chic restaurants, fashion boutiques, unique museums and the world’s best furniture shops. And, when the city gets too hot and you need to escape, the Lombardy region has some of the finest spa days and wellness experiences.

Taking an Italian furniture shopping tour with Esperiri is an opportunity to explore the Italian dream in all of these aspects, which is why we’ve put together a list of the best luxury spa destinations in Milan and the lake spa locations surrounding the city…
