Spa at Belmond Hotel Splendido

Above Portofino, in a garden overlooking the Ligurian Sea, Dior Spa Splendido brings a distinctive wellness identity to one of the Italian Riviera’s landmark hotels. This is the first Dior Spa in Italy, set within Belmond’s Splendido. The appeal lies in the combination of a heritage setting, sea-view treatments and a quietly luxurious atmosphere: a reason to slow the itinerary rather than simply add another stop to it.

The treatment menu gives that setting substance. SplendiDior and Golden Aura are both 90-minute rituals, while Dior Powered by HydraFacial offers a choice of 60 or 90 minutes. For body treatments, New Look, Constellation and D-Tissue each come in 60- or 90-minute versions; the Kobi-Dior Facial lasts an hour. The range makes it possible to choose by both focus and available time, without assuming that every spa visit needs to occupy an entire afternoon.

For a shorter appointment, look at the 20-minute Dior Skin Light or Dior Oxygen Therapy treatments. The separate wellness add-on menu includes Back Release, Body Scrub and Foot Relief at 30 minutes each, alongside 15-minute Dry Brushing. Check how these additions fit your chosen treatment before making plans. Beyond the spa, Splendido’s fitness centre, personal training and outdoor adventures offer an active counterpoint to time spent at rest.

Our suggestion is to choose one principal treatment first, then leave some breathing room around it. If you would like to extend the occasion over a meal, La Terrazza draws on Ligurian culinary traditions, while Splendido Grill overlooks the sea. Consult the official Belmond website for the current treatment menu and booking arrangements; confirm access requirements before building a day around the spa.
