Looking for the best spas in Rome? Here are seven of our absolute favourites…
From luxury hotel sanctuaries to the rumoured locations of scenes in the upcoming season of Emily in Paris, the Eternal City offers plenty of indulgent wellness experiences that blend history, especially ancient bathing rituals, with the very latest in modern treatments.
Whether you want to relax in a Roman-like thermal bath, experience a fully indulgent Italian spa day, or biohack your way to relaxation from head to toe, these top spas in Rome deliver unforgettable moments of calm amid the city’s bustling streets.
The Bulgari Spa, Bulgari Hotel Roma
Stepping into the Bulgari Spa in Rome is like walking into a modern reinterpretation of an imperial Ancient Roman bath – and that’s something special. Inspired by the grandeur of the Baths of Caracalla, every corner gleams with marble and mosaics, while natural light filters through the stained-glass windows casting a mind-calmingly soft glow across the 1,500-square-metre wellness space. At the heart of the spa is a 20-metre pool that practicaly demands you to take a long soak, but it’s worth floating off to one of the eight treatment rooms too. There, you can choose from an indulgent range of spa treatments designed by luxury skincare brand Augustinus Bader. One thing is for certain: you’ll feel gorgeously expensive coming here.
The signature treatment
For the ultimate experience, book the Onyx spa suite, which allows couples to retreat into a private haven, complete with their own marble hydromassage pool, for an indulgent three-hour ritual. It comes with the choice of one ninety-minute treatment, with multiple (and equally blissful) massage and facial options available.
Six Senses Rome
Six Senses spas are not just about relaxation – they are wellness sanctuaries for full head-to-toe rejuvenation. At the Rome outpost, you can feel the city’s bathing heritage all around you, with a Roman bath circuit — tepidarium, caldarium, frigidarium — providing some classic hot/cold therapy for tired limbs and minds. We’d recommend complementing your visit with a skin-reviving post-soak scrub in the hammam, or trying a whole host of high-tech sensory therapies, including biohacking, wellness screenings, sleep analysis, and sound healing, plus results-driven facials and massages – perfect for anyone who wants more than just a lie down when they visit a spa. Wellness even extends beyond the treatment rooms, with rooftop yoga and breath-work sessions overlooking the city’s terracotta rooftops; that’s a must-book opportunity.
The signature treatment
The Cocoon ritual is a massage like you’ve never experienced before, with each stage designed to ease tension and restore energy. It starts with a grounding foot soak and gentle body exfoliation to stimulate your body’s detox system, before a warm Tuscan candle massage and body wrap cocoon you in a deeper sense of wellbeing. The finishing touch? When all wrapped up, you even get a mini Seed to Skin facial so you can glow from head to toe.
Hotel Eden
If you haven’t seen Hotel Eden’s beautiful spa before, get ready to. It is said to feature heavily in the upcoming Rome-based series of the Netflix show Emily in Paris, which just goes to show how picture-perfect it really is. You don’t have to be worried about it getting too busy, though. In fact, this tranquil spa might be in the heart of Rome, but it is a must-book for anyone who prefers their relaxation with utter privacy because each guest enjoys a dedicated suite, complete with a private changing room. The spa’s classic vaulted ceilings evoke ancient Rome just enough to help you soak in the culture, but the facilities are state-of-the-art, with particularly good Valmont facials on offer which are as pampering as they are results-driven.
The signature treatment
Need a skin wake-me-up that helps you look like you’ve had a week of good sleep? The one-hour Vitality of the Glaciers facial is perfect, involving a really stimulating massage with energising and collagen-boosting products.
Spa at Hotel Hassler Roma
The Hassler hotel is an institution — Audrey Hepburn once twirled through its lobby — and its spa lives up to that legacy. Perched above the Spanish Steps, the small but mighty space combines commanding views of the city with an indulgently-packed treatment menu which includes everything from aromatherapy massages to collagen facials, all performed with practiced Roman elegance. Inside, rooms exude quiet luxury with soft lighting, fragrant candles, and plush treatment beds, but it’s arguably outside that holds the greatest acclaim. Our biggest piece of advice: make sure you book a treatment that includes terrace time. There, you can get a spectacular view over the domes of the city, which is a wellness treat in itself. Oh, and it’s another space that’s rumoured to be featured in Emily in Paris’ Rome-based season…
The signature treatment
Right now, any of the massages or facials are worth booking for a bit of pampering, but just wait for 2026, and there’s even more treats in store. A new expanded spa sanctuary will be opening at the hotel, with new facilities and services. Details are being kept under tight wraps for now, but watch this space.
Spa at Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel
Tucked above the ancient Diocletian Baths, the spa at Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel is a truly dreamy escape right in the middle of Rome. Step inside and you’re instantly transported from the city’s buzz to a world of calm though, and you can discover a whole array of treatments that draw on ancient Roman rituals and Mediterranean ingredients — think olive oil scrubs, soothing aromas, and plenty of luxe touches. After a dip in the vitality pool or a blissful massage, you’ll leave with a quiet sense of balance. The kind that lingers long after you step back into the pace of the city.
The signature treatment
Powered by potent natural ingredients including olive oil, honey and aromatic herbs, the Diocletian Ritual is an indulgent spa journey that shouldn’t be missed. It combines a salt and Laurel scrub, a Cleansing Mud Wrap, and a soothing St. John’s-wort Oil Massage for complete rejuvenation.
Casa Monti
Casa Monti’s rooftop spa (where your head will feel it is literally and figuratively in the clouds) is a hidden haven with Rome at its feet, and it also happens to be Susanne Kaufmann’s only spa in the city. With features inspired by the ancient Roman baths, including mind-soothing yellow tones throughout, the terrace also offers sweeping city views, best enjoyed from the cosy jacuzzi. Inside the treatments bring together plant-based formulas, age-old wisdom and a modern, holistic touch. From nourishing body rituals to tranquil soaks, it’s a serene spot that allows even stressed-out brains to slow down.
