Redefines luxury in Italy

Nestled along the stunning Ligurian coast, Dior Spa Splendido invites guests to immerse themselves in a holistic retreat that celebrates both natural splendor and the couture care synonymous with Dior. 

 

More than just a spa, Dior Spa Splendido is envisioned as a destination in itself—an immersive sensory journey where the spirit of Dior’s art de vivre meets the enchanting coastal backdrop.

Drawing inspiration from Christian Dior’s beloved summer escapes in Granville, Milly-la-Forêt, and La Colle Noire, the spa embraces a philosophy of slow wellness. Designed for total physical and mental renewal, the space is crafted using oak wood, natural sandstone, and elegant green tones of the iconic Toile de Jouy print, all in harmony with the surrounding landscape.

The art of healing

Among the standout features is a serene rooftop terrace, complete with rattan loungers, shade awnings, and a wellness bar offering custom-crafted drinks to rejuvenate the body from within. Guests can choose from a menu of exclusive treatments—from revitalizing body therapies to anti-aging facials—all delivered in an atmosphere that channels the understated glamour of the Italian Riviera.

 

The spa houses four treatment rooms, including a breathtaking double suite with panoramic sea views. Signature experiences include ‘Splendidior’, a bespoke ritual that blends facial and body massage techniques with the therapeutic energy of semi-precious stones. Other highlights include Golden Aura and Kobi-Dior facials, New Look and D-Tissue body rituals, and La Dolce Vita Therapy—a radiant journey fusing yoga, massage, and skincare to restore balance and glow.

Guests can also unwind in the enchanting Jardin des Rêves, an open-air sanctuary with sea-facing gazebos dedicated to outdoor treatments. With its marriage of couture sophistication and natural tranquility, Dior Spa Splendido promises to become one of Europe’s most coveted wellness retreats.
