If you’re visiting Milan spas, you’d be remiss to miss its fabulous spas. These are not just for locals but also perfect for all those who spend time in the city on business or on vacation. They can help you see the capital of Lombardy from a different angle, one that’s more concealed and relaxed.

The opulent Palazzo Parigi describes its day spa as an “exclusive oasis of relaxation” in the heart of one of Milan’s fashionable districts, Brera. Its Grand Spa is Moroccan themed, though it boasts therapy rooms fitted out in styles inspired by exotic paradises — Bali, India and Sweden come to mind — as well as a luxurious pool flanked by Moorish doors, steam bath, Finnish sauna and ice waterfall.

Another excellent choice is QC Terme Milano, a modern complex that’s surprisingly discreet and located in the middle of a neighborhood surrounded by 16th-century walls. Here you’ll find large pools, saunas and whirlpool tubs as well as a beauty salon that specializes in hair removal.

Among the many other fine Milan spas is the one at Armani Hotel in the Quadrilatero della Moda fashion district, which offers both hotel guests and non-residents an experience of beauty, wellness and delight that would fit in perfectly with any high-end brand’s image. The spa has several treatment rooms and special packages that incorporate massages, beauty treatments and even a visit to Lake Como, which is just an hour’s drive north of the city.
