Summer at the spa, 6 wellness ideas and events

Tuscany, the emblem of wellness offerings, with Chianciano, Saturnia and Montecatini, South Tyrol with Merano,
Brianza in Lombardy and even New York. Here are 6 ideas for indulging in relaxation and fun.
Wellness treatments, music, cinema, good food and events all summer long.

Tuscany and the magic of the evening, including golden reflections on the water, music and flavors for the palate at Terme di Chianciano or the 120 hectares of Saturnia, where a thousand-year-old spring springs at the foot of a medieval village. A beach umbrella and a trip to a city of art, starting in Montecatini Terme. The mountains of South Tyrol, for a stay that combines aesthetics and medicine. The glamour of the Big Apple and cutting-edge technology, with wearable devices that provide a premium wellness experience. Again, 5,000 square meters dedicated to relaxation enclosed in a modern facility nestled in the greenery of Brianza. The spa is a great solution for those looking for an alternative to the classic beach, mountain or lake vacation, under the banner of wellness, among special events, music and taste.

1 Terme di Chianciano

Terme di Chianciano is banking on the golden hour and suggestions of twilight: the complex, located in Tuscany between Valdichiana and Val d’Orcia, a Unesco World Heritage Site, is offering a special evening opening. Until 10 p.m. throughout the summer, guests can immerse themselves in the regenerating Theia Thermal Pools and discover the holistic well-being of the Sensory Spa, let themselves be wrapped in a soft bathrobe and sip a drink on a lounger.

Every Saturday with the “Baths by Night” entrance, at the Theia Thermal Pools, which will remain open until midnight for the occasion, you can enjoy an apericena in your bathrobe and listen to live music, while every Thursday in August the sunset at the Theia Thermal Pools will be tinged with musical notes, with live sax sessions (Aug. 17-24-31) and DJ sets (Aug. 10). The poolside aperitif is a must. For those who choose August Ferragosto at Terme di Chianciano, the Theia Thermal Pools will offer wellness and and fun until 11 p.m. with DJ sets and appetizers to be enjoyed poolside.

At the Terme Sensoriali on August 26 and September 23, on the other hand, the “Tasting Night” events will be staged, the initiative that combines wellness with flavor, inviting people to discover Tuscan gastronomy, alternating relaxation in the thermal waters with moments dedicated to naturopathy and oriental philosophy.

2 Terme di Saturnia

The scents and silences of the Maremma are the setting for Saturnia‘s 20,000 square meters dedicated to wellness. On the occasion of Ferragosto 2023, the thermal park offers a special night dedicated to fun and wellness until 1 a.m.: entrance from 8 p.m. followed by live performance “Klaus Lessmann” Jazz Quartet, acrobatic show by Mariateresa Enti Latifa and choreography with fire by “Lucignolo e il Fuoco.” Until 10 p.m., it is possible to taste Maremma’s excellent wines from “La Maliosa” and “Erik Banti” estates.

Even the little ones are welcome, with two pools entirely dedicated and with the “Kids free” offer, which provides free admission up to 11 years old (one for each paying adult).

Diving into the waters of the Thermal Park pools is a special moment to regain new energy and smooth skin, thanks to the benefits of a unique water that has been flowing continuously from the heart of the earth inside a crater for more than 3,000 years, at a constant temperature of 37.5°C.

3 Palazzo BelVedere
