UNA Hotels One Catania opens Thalasso-inspired Urban Spa

UNA Italian Hospitality has opened UNA Hotels One Catania in Sicily, complete with the 1,700sqm Urban Spa.

An indoor and outdoor wellness destination in Catania, the Thalasso-inspired Urban Spa has been developed in partnership Comfort Zone.

Facilities include an indoor pool with lumbar massage jets, an outdoor pool, a Turkish bath, Finnish sauna, the Hay Room bio-sauna, Himalayan salt room and a 27m Kneipp walking circuit. The Kneipp Path include river pebbles, Carrara marble, Etna stones and pumice stone.

There is Thalassotherapy pool, enriched with seawater at 30°C and algae, a dedicated relaxation area with daybeds and seven outdoor wellness suites situated on the terrace.

Advanced beauty and aesthetics centre

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.

The spa facilities at the 55-room hotel are part of the brand’s plans to reposition into the upscale segment and expand the target market.

A careful restyling of the previous hotel, Villa del Bosco, UNA Hotels One Catania is surrounded by an outdoor garden and a terrace.

The Una Hotels brand is owned by one of Italy’s largest hotel chains, Una Italian Hospitality, which has 59 hotels and resorts.
