ARIA Retreat & SPA - A Sanctuary of Quiet Luxury by the Water
Nestled on the sun-drenched hillside of Monte Bronzone overlooking the eastern shore of Lake Lugano, and just a short drive from the iconic Lake Como, ARIA Retreat & SPA offers discerning travellers a boutique hideaway where nature, design and wellness merge in perfect harmony. Recognised as part of the distinguished The Leading Hotels of the World collection, ARIA embodies the ultimate expression of refined hospitality.
A Premium Setting, With Lakeside Ease
Positioned within the lush 40,000 m² subtropical park of the larger Parco San Marco Hotels & Beach Resort, ARIA Retreat is an adults-only enclave boasting panoramic vistas of lake and Alps. The location is exceptionally accessible: whether travelling from Milan or Switzerland, the proximity to Lake Lugano and Lake Como places the retreat at the crossroads of Italian-Swiss lake-country elegance.
Suites That Embrace the View
With fifteen ultra-spacious suites, each design-driven and individually crafted, ARIA invites guests to indulge in an environment that marries modern minimalism with authentic comfort. The hallmark of the experience? Floor-to-ceiling glass facades that frame the lake and mountains like a living work of art. From every vantage point you feel sheltered, yet intrinsically connected to nature. The furnishing evokes Italian elegance—polished textures, warm woods, subtle palettes—all curated for travellers who appreciate quiet refinement.
Wellness Elevated: Spa, Pools, Tranquility
Guests at ARIA Retreat discover wellness re-imagined. The spa spans 1,500 m² and features a salt-water infinity outdoor pool, an indoor 20 m lap pool, panorama sauna and sanarium, snow-flake cold cabin, steam bath and more. The design ensures that each moment—from warm water immersion to still reflection—feels intentional. Whether you’re lingering at the edge of the infinity pool or immersed in the sauna’s quiet light, the experience is one of effortless calm.
Culinary Excellence at La Musa Restaurant
Dining at ARIA is elevated to an art form in the elegant setting of La Musa Restaurant & Rooftop Terrace. With its refined interiors, impressive materials and large windows opening to the luscious park and lake beyond, La Musa presents a culinary journey defined by contemporary gastronomy and high-quality, local ingredients. Moments here move at a slower pace: the tasting menu invites discovery, the wine list is thoughtfully curated, and each plate is an expression of flavour, texture and place.
Service That Listens, Details That Matter
At the heart of ARIA’s appeal is service that anticipates. From your arrival to the moment you depart, you’re embraced by discreet attentiveness: staff who know when to engage and when to fade into the background, and every need is met with poise. The house ethos celebrates freedom and protection simultaneously - the sense of being unrestricted, yet impeccably cared for.
Why Choose ARIA Retreat?
For travellers seeking more than a stay - those yearning for an experience of calm, beauty and understated luxury - ARIA Retreat & SPA stands apart. The location alone offers rare duality: lakeside ease and Alpine heights, with the refined proximity of Lake Como. The architecture and interiors are composed with precision; wellness rituals feel distinct yet accessible; dining at La Musa elevates the palate and spirit.
