Orient Express Venezia has opened a new spa inside a historic Venetian palazzo. The retreat combines the building's heritage with contemporary wellness. Designed by Aline Asmar d’Amman, it offers an intimate alternative to a conventional hotel spa.
A key feature is the Rasul, an ancient purification ritual rooted in North African and Middle Eastern traditions. The treatment uses steam, clay and water. The spa reinterprets the ritual through Venice's cultural heritage and historic trade routes, creating what the press release describes as "a journey through cultures and sensations".
The spa also offers treatments featuring Furtuna Skin, a luxury Sicilian skincare brand. Its products use natural ingredients and reflect a commitment to sustainability. Treatments combine specialist techniques with aromatic notes and rich textures to improve skin softness and radiance.
Another offering comes from Charme d’Orient, which draws on Middle Eastern and Mediterranean wellness traditions. Guests can enjoy personalised massages designed to restore balance and relaxation.
Beyond treatments, the spa features fitness facilities overlooking the Rio di Noale canal. The gym uses Technogym ARTIS equipment.
The new spa adds another dimension to the Orient Express Venezia experience. It brings together wellness traditions from different cultures while celebrating Venice's history and heritage.
