Milan’s New Wellness Gem: Irene Forte Spa Blends Sicilian Nature with City Chic
In the heart of Milan’s iconic fashion district, a new sanctuary has emerged: Irene Forte Spa. This isn’t just another luxury spa; it’s a meeting point of nature, science, and Italian elegance, designed for the modern city-dweller who craves both restoration and results. With its eighth European location, the spa translates the brand’s Sicilian heritage into a sensorial experience perfectly suited to Milan’s rhythm: purposeful, expressive, and deeply mindful.
The philosophy behind Irene Forte Spa is simple yet profound: beauty begins from within. Founder Irene Forte explains, “In Milan, everything moves with purpose, and style is a way of life. This spa was created for that rhythm to restore balance and presence in the midst of momentum. When science and nature work together, you feel it on your skin, but it also lifts your whole being.”

A design that calms the mind
Step inside, and the transformation begins immediately. Designed by Paolo Moschino with Olga Polizzi, the spa’s interiors draw inspiration from nature’s architecture. Organic curves, earthy terracotta tones, honeyed woods, and chocolate leathers combine with sculpted walls to create an intimate, cocoon-like environment. Every detail, from the gentle lighting to the choice of textures, encourages a pause, a deep breath, a return to presence.
The spa’s layout is as functional as it is beautiful. Three treatment rooms, a Forte Vita Bar for express facials and hair treatments, a nail salon, a thermal area with sauna, steam room, ice fountain, and experience showers, a relaxation suite with vibration sound beds, and a fully equipped Technogym gym ensure every wellness need is met under one roof.

Science meets nature in skincare
At the core of the experience is Irene Forte Skincare, formulated with botanicals from the brand’s organic farm at Verdura Resort in Sicily. Each product is vegan, suitable for sensitive skin, and clinically approved, blending 40 years of biomedical research with the richness of Mediterranean ingredients.
Treatments are tailored to each guest using 3D skin analysis, allowing therapists to precisely map the skin’s needs. Signature facials include:
- The Phytomelatonin Facial, featuring buccal massage, LED therapy, and a hyaluronic acid sheet mask to restore glow.
- The Peptide Power Facial, pairing microcurrent radiofrequency with anti-ageing peptides to smooth wrinkles and lift skin.
- The Glow & Lift LYMA Facial, which uses low-level laser therapy to stimulate collagen deep within the dermis, producing lasting, transformative results.
Body treatments are equally innovative. Icoone® supports microcirculation and lymphatic drainage, pressotherapy with Hyperice NormaTec 3 aids muscle recovery and circulation, and volcanic stone massages restore balance while integrating breathwork and cancer-care-accredited techniques.
Oils enriched with ximenynic acid stimulate circulation, while rose oil treatments nurture expectant mothers. Every therapist is trained in Irene Forte protocols, ensuring consistent results and a personal, intuitive approach.

Forte Vita Bar: high-performance beauty on the go
Milan moves fast, and the Forte Vita Bar caters to this tempo with express, results-driven treatments. The Base Facial uses Tri-Energy Technology, combining EMS, radiofrequency, and LED to lift and enhance skin tone in just 50 minutes.
Optional add-ons, such as LYMA Laser PRO, oxygen therapy, peptide masks, and collagen-boosting LED, can be layered in for a radiant finish in as little as five minutes, making it perfect for professionals, fashion insiders, or anyone needing a quick reset between meetings or events.

Retail and lifestyle integration
The Milan spa also introduces a curated retail space featuring Irene Forte Skincare alongside complementary wellness and beauty brands: Davines (haircare), La Bonne Brosse (brushes), Manucurist (nails), Le Rub (SPF), Vyrao (fragrance), Varley (activewear), Lido (swimwear), and LYMA Laser PRO devices. The space encourages guests to take a piece of the spa experience home, extending wellness beyond the treatment room.
Irene Forte underscores the brand’s vision: “Natura e scienza is at the heart of everything we do. Whether on a Sicilian resort or the fashion streets of Milan, our spas help guests feel their best, instantly and enduringly, so they can live a longer life well.”

Technology, precision, and expertise
The spa blends luxury with cutting-edge innovation. Thermal facilities are by Stenhal, treatment furniture by Lemi, relaxation beds by Touch America, and Forte Vita Bar setups by Maletti. Gym equipment comes from Technogym, and treatment technologies include LYMA Laser PRO, Dermalux Flex, Pressotherapy by Hyperice, Icoone®, Sculpta by Déesse PRO, OXYjet GO, and Omnilux LED Mask. This combination ensures every service is both effective and immersive, delivering results that guests can see and feel.

A mindful escape in Milan
More than a spa, Irene Forte Milan is a sanctuary where science, nature, and Italian design converge. It invites visitors to slow down, recalibrate, and immerse themselves in an experience that is both luxurious and mindful. Whether it’s a targeted facial, a rejuvenating body therapy, or a quick reset at the Forte Vita Bar, every moment is an opportunity to reconnect with oneself.
Here, wellness isn’t an indulgence, but an art form. It’s a space to breathe, restore, and emerge ready to meet the city’s fast pace with calm, confidence, and vitality. In Milan’s fashion district, Irene Forte Spa is more than a destination; it’s an invitation to experience beauty, wellness, and presence, in perfect harmony.
