Mandarin Oriental Lago di Como secures sixth World Spa Award

On the shores of Como, where Alpine light catches the water and the Mandarin Oriental’s spa sits as a sanctuary of considered tranquillity, the team has once again claimed Italy’s Best Spa at the World Spa Awards, their sixth consecutive recognition of this calibre.

The achievement speaks to something more deliberate than mere consistency. Each treatment, each moment of the guest’s journey, has been constructed with a precision that feels almost architectural: the therapists in their sage green robes moving with quiet purpose, the brass vessels holding oils and essences positioned just so, the white linens arranged with an almost ceremonial care. The spa’s philosophy centres on the individual, on understanding what brings genuine restoration rather than spectacle.

The award sits within a broader landscape of Mandarin Oriental’s spa legacy across the world, yet this particular honour carries particular weight. The Como location, nestled between the Alps and the Mediterranean influence of northern Italy, draws from a place that has long understood the concept of refuge. The spa team has spent years refining their craft, learning the particular needs of their guests, perfecting the balance between technique and intuition that defines exceptional therapeutic work.

Recognition at this level from the World Spa Awards validates not the surface of what the spa offers, but the depth of attention that runs through every element of the experience. The choice of materials, the training of the therapists, the rituals built around ancient and contemporary wellness practices all converge around a single ambition: to send guests back into their lives genuinely restored.

The spa at Mandarin Oriental Lago di Como welcomes guests daily. Reservations can be made through the resort.
