Palace Merano was the first medical spa in Italy, a pioneering organisation that offered an innovative combination of medicine and wellness.

It is located in the heart of Merano, a thermal town renowned for its unique microclimate that combines alpine and Mediterranean elements - the perfect place for regeneration year round.

The method is inspired by the five fundamental elements of the Eastern philosophy - wood, fire, water, air and earth - which represent the different energies that regulate our body and mind.
