In a city defined by craft and creativity, Irene Forte Spa expands its “natura e scienza” concept to its eighth European location. This is wellness designed for the Milanese mindset: purposeful, expressive, and deeply sensorial, reflecting the conviction that beauty, like style, begins from within.
Restoration and results in equal measure
Designed by Paolo Moschino in collaboration with Olga Polizzi, the serene interiors take inspiration from nature’s architecture with organic shapes. Earthy terracotta tones blend with honeyed woods, chocolate leathers, and curved walls that cocoon the body and quiet the mind. Treatments harness evidence-based science and clinical precision while infusing Sicilian warmth and Mediterranean ritual. The result is at once a space and an experience that feels protective yet intentional.
Founder Irene Forte observes:
“In Milan, everything moves with purpose and style is a way of life. This spa was created for that rhythm, to restore balance and presence in the midst of momentum, however long you spend with us. When science and nature work together, you feel it on your skin, but it also lifts your whole being.”

Skincare and treatment innovation
Bespoke advanced facials and body therapies use Irene Forte Skincare, with botanicals sourced from the brand’s organic farm at Verdura Resort in Sicily. Formulations are designed to promote skin longevity, shaped by 40 years of biomedical research by Italian pioneer in the field, Dr. Francesca Ferri. Every formula is vegan, suitable for all skin types, and clinically approved for sensitive skin.
Highlights:
3D skin analysis provides a detailed assessment to gain optimal results by tailoring treatments precisely to individual needs.
Indulgent, anti-ageing facials include the Phytomelatonin Facial with buccal massage, LED and a hyaluronic acid sheet mask; the wrinkle-smoothing Peptide Power Facial paired with Tri-Energy microcurrent radiofrequency; and the Glow & Lift LYMA Facial, which uses a clinical-grade low level laser to trigger unprecedented transformation deep within the dermis.
Body therapies are non-invasive yet highly targeted, including Icoone®, which stimulates microcirculation and supports lymphatic drainage and body contouring. Pressotherapy for the legs is delivered using the Hyperice NormaTec 3, state-of-the-art air compression system designed to boost circulation, ease swelling, and promote deep muscle recovery.
Massages deliver a complete range of outcomes, whether to stimulate circulation with ximenynic acid–enriched oil, ease tension for expectant mothers with rose body oil, increase comfort by incorporating breathwork and techniques accredited by the Standards Authority of Touch in Cancer Care, or restore balance through the use of volcanic stones from Mount Etna.
Every therapist is trained in Irene Forte Skincare protocols and evidence-based techniques. This ensures consistent levels of care and expertise, exceptional results across all treatments, and a personal, intuitive approach.
The Forte Vita Bar: high-performance beauty, Milan pace
The Forte Vita Bar sets itself apart with a curated menu of hair treatments and express, results-driven facials powered by advanced technology to deliver younger-looking skin in less time. At its core is the Base Facial with Tri-Energy Technology, combining EMS, radiofrequency and LED to enhance skin tone and elasticity in just 50 minutes.
A selection of optional add-ons –including the LYMA Laser PRO, oxygen therapy, peptide sheet masks and collagen-boosting red-light LED – can be layered in for a radiant finish in as little as five to 20 minutes. Perfect for moments between shows, meetings or celebrations, the Forte Vita Bar is a place for guests to reset, refresh, and step back into Milan looking and feeling their best.
