Inside Dior’s First-Ever Spa in Venice

Dior has officially arrived in Venice with the opening of its first permanent spa in the city, introducing a new destination for luxury wellness at the iconic Hotel Cipriani.

Following the success of the Dioriveria pop-up boutique at the Belmond property earlier this summer, the new spa marks a deeper collaboration between the maison and one of Venice’s most celebrated hotels, offering guests an immersive experience centred around beauty, relaxation and Dior’s signature approach to wellbeing.

Located on Giudecca Island, the spa’s interiors celebrate Venice’s rich design heritage while incorporating Dior’s refined aesthetic. The space blends influences from the city’s 18th-century Rococo period with mid-century Italian elegance and contemporary touches, featuring Venetian terrazzo, handcrafted stucco details, soft neutral tones and carefully curated Dior accents throughout.

The treatment menu combines some of Dior’s most recognisable wellness rituals with three exclusive experiences created specifically for Hotel Cipriani.

Among the highlights is Mascarade, a revitalising facial inspired by Venice’s legendary masked celebrations. The treatment combines LED light therapy, myofascial techniques and Dior Prestige skincare to enhance radiance and restore luminosity.

For those preparing for a special occasion, Grand Bal offers a personalised beauty ritual designed across the face, hair, hands and feet, creating a complete pre-event transformation. Meanwhile, Théâtre Corporel focuses on deep relaxation, combining guided breathing exercises, aromatic oils and advanced myofascial release techniques delivered by two Dior Wellness experts.

Guests can also experience Dior’s signature treatments, including the HydraFacial hydra-dermabrasion treatment designed to refresh and renew the complexion, as well as the New Look massage, which uses targeted techniques to support circulation, tone and relaxation.

Beyond the spa, Hotel Cipriani remains one of Venice’s most sought-after destinations. Set beside the lagoon with its own private dock, the hotel offers a Michelin-starred dining experience at Oro, a private sailing yacht, elegant poolside cabanas and Venice’s only Olympic-sized swimming pool.

Originally opened in 1956 by Giuseppe Cipriani, the founder of the legendary Harry’s Bar, the hotel has since become part of the Belmond collection and continues to attract travellers seeking timeless Italian glamour.

The new Venice spa also expands Dior’s growing presence in luxury hospitality. The maison previously partnered with Belmond on exclusive Dior Spa Treehouse experiences at Grand Hotel Timeo in Sicily, further cementing the brand’s position at the intersection of beauty, travel and wellness.
