The spa was designed by Italian architect Mario Rizza of Mario Rizza Architetti. Rizza’s approach focuses on creating spaces that balance contemporary architecture with functional wellbeing environments.

The spa concept was developed with the support of Italian company, Finland Philosophy, which specialises in sauna and wellness solutions.

The Urban Spa, managed by Alessandra Fiorentino, also incorporates a dedicated Beauty Hub developed in collaboration with Comfort Zone.

The advanced aesthetic centre has six treatment rooms and offers face and body therapies, anti-ageing protocols and personalised ritual experiences.
