ARIA Retreat & SPA - Lake Como, Italy



Overlooking Lake Lugano sits the ARIA Retreat & SPA, a member of The Leading Hotels of the World. This jewel property is built in the subtropical forest of Mount Bronzone and is our top destination recommendation for anyone looking to relax and connect with nature. The Milan architecture firm R4M was behind the environmentally conscious architectural project of ARIA Retreat & SPA.



Strategically located, the five-star hotel provides a convenient base for both relaxation and exploration. Situated just a 20-minute drive from Lugano’s city center in Switzerland and Menaggio in Lake Como in Italy, and a mere hour and a half drive from Milan Malpensa Airport, the property provides easy accessibility regardless of your travel purpose.


ACCOMMODATIONS


ARIA Retreat & SPA features only 15 suites created across three floors. Think of these suites as fully furnished luxury apartments, each offering breathtaking lake views. There are three categories: Loggia Suites, Grand Loggia Suites, and the Penthouse Suite. For extra space, the Lake View Grand Loggia Suite offers 2 king beds, living room and ample space. The LAGO Penthouse Suite provides an exceptional experience with breathtaking views. Larger families will appreciate the Lake View Family Grand Loggia Suite, while the Iconic ARIA Penthouse Suite offers superior luxury.



Worth mentioning that all suites are brightly lit and feature contemporary modern design, fully equipped kitchens, sophisticated lighting system, very comfortable beds, curated furniture including antiques, and carefully selected artworks and home decor touches.


DINING


Enjoy three bars and six restaurants designed to cater to all tastes. From casual dining on the beach to gourmet dishes at La Musa Restaurant. Savor delicious Italian cuisine in a diverse menu complemented by an extensive wine cellar.



SPA


SPA CEò at ARIA Retreat & SPA draws from Celtic heritage to offer tranquility and well-being, focusing on the elements of water, air, earth, and fire. This 16,000 sq ft (1,500 m²) adult-exclusive spa features 5 individual cabins and a panorama spa with saunas, a saltwater whirlpool, and a bio hay sauna, all overlooking stunning views of the lake and Alps. Other notable facilities include a Turkish bath, “Snowflake” cold cabin, various relaxation pools, an indoor pool, a heated saltwater infinity pool, and a reflexology foot bath.



OTHER


As you wander through ARIA Retreat & SPA, you’ll encounter a curated selection of art installations and sculptures, adding a touch of culture to your stay. Even the parking lot, with its futuristic lighting system, is a sight to behold. We suggest a nature walk adjacent to the property overlooking Lake Lugano; a pleasant 15-minute stroll will take you to the nearby town of Porlezza. Additionally, day trips to Lake Como or Lugano are easy to arrange and highly recommended.
