Indulge in Relaxation at Santuario Wellness & Spa

The ‘wellliving’ experience begins inside Santuario Wellness & Spa, where one can find a moment of peace swimming in the indoor pool filled with mineral-rich water extracted from a natural well over 120 meters deep. Through a meticulous decalcification and osmosis process, the water is purified and enriched with essential minerals, providing numerous health benefits.

Guests enjoy access to the sauna and hammam areas of Santuario Wellness & Spa. These rituals, based on ancient techniques, offer multiple scientifically recognized benefits for both body and mind.

The hammam, which applies moist heat to the body, and the sauna, focusing on dry heat, work together to raise body temperature, promoting the release of endorphins that activate the parasympathetic nervous system, inducing relaxation and restfulness. The ensuing calm helps reduce cortisol levels, leading to a state of well-being.
