Irene Forte Spa: Luxury Spa in Rome

Where Sicily meets Scotland

Rooted in the rhythms of the Mediterranean, Irene Forte Spa is a serene world of holistic wellbeing and restorative calm in the heart of Edinburgh.

A contemporary retreat infused with Sicilian warmth, every space has been designed to restore equilibrium. Hand-painted lemon murals, tones of soft terracotta and sage, and the scent of orange blossom evoke the landscape of Southern Italy. Discover bespoke rituals using Irene Forte Skincare’s award-winning vegan products, innovative therapies with volcanic stones and quartz, and advanced technologies including LYMA Laser Pro and Tri Energy.

From the steam room and lap pool to the Forte Vita Bar, where you'll find fast facials and hair and nail services, every element invites you to pause, rebalance, and deeply renew.
