Palazzo Fiuggi Wellness Medical Retreat has consolidated its position as a global leader, winning the prestigious title of “World’s Best Wellness Retreat” for the fifth time for the year 2025.
A place that blends the charm of the Belle Époque with cutting-edge medicine
Located less than an hour from Rome, the Palazzo is a 1913 Art Nouveau masterpiece set in an 8-hectare park. In the past, it has hosted royalty (such as Vittorio Emanuele III), movie stars, and heads of state. After an impressive restoration, it reopened in 2021, transforming itself from a luxury hotel into a true wellness clinic, one of the most advanced in the world.
Unlike a classic spa, everything here is based on evidence-based medicine. At its heart is the local thermal water, renowned since Michelangelo’s time for its purifying properties. The center has a multidisciplinary team of doctors who use high-level hospital diagnostic technologies (MRI, genetic analysis, biomechanical assessment).
Main programs:
- Deep Detox, to eliminate toxins and heavy metals
- Longevity: aimed at slowing down the cellular aging process
- Optimal Weight: not just weight loss, but metabolic re-education
- Regenerate: ideal for post-surgical recovery or enhancing physical performance

Michelin-starred but detox cuisine
One of the unique selling points is the food line created by chef Heinz Beck (3 Michelin stars). It is not the usual restrictive diet: Beck has collaborated with doctors to create menus that are scientifically balanced to reduce inflammation and toxins, but which maintain the taste of a high-class restaurant.
Winning the World Spa Awards means that the facility has been voted for by industry professionals (executives, operators, media) and thousands of consumers around the world. It positions Italy as the number one destination for luxury “Medical Wellness,” surpassing famous competitors in Switzerland, Austria, and Asia.
How much does it cost?
The cost depends on the program you choose. For example, Palazzo Fiuggi’s introductory Wellness Break program allows you to enjoy the wellness spa with treatments supervised by a medical team and receive a professional medical check-up. A stay in a Charme room, single occupancy, for 3 nights, costs €3,200. Services included: thalassotherapy, psammotherapy, Kobido face lift, lymphatic stimulation, Spa wave, binaural sound therapy, deep tissue massage, Palazzo Fiuggi Ritual Hammam, 3-step hydrotherapy, Mind & Body relaxation massage.
How far is it from Rome? Palazzo Fiuggi is located about 75-80 km from the center of Rome. Address: Via dei Villini 34, Fiuggi (RM).
