Born from the vision of Cinzia Primatesta and Chef Antonino Cannavacciuolo, Laqua by the Lake is the Laqua Collection retreat on the shores of Lake Orta, where nature, design, and wellness intertwine in elegant and timeless harmony. Following the expansion of its rooms, the resort has enhanced its wellness offering with the inauguration of a new wet area, which completes The Longevity Suite—over 200 square meters entirely dedicated to body and mind care.
An intimate, minimalist space where silence becomes language and every detail is designed to welcome guests. Based on an idea by Cinzia Primatesta, the Laqua by the Lake spa was created to offer authentic, personalized wellness: a contemporary, cozy place where advanced technology and sensory rituals come together in transformative experiences.
The experience revolves around two complementary areas: the hot zone, inaugurated this season with a sauna, Turkish bath, emotional ice waterfall, and Floating Tank, and the cold zone, the heart of The Longevity Suite, where innovative treatments, advanced aesthetics, rituals, holistic massages, and the power of cold come together in a regenerating journey. Two opposing energies that interact with each other with a single goal: to bring the guest back to their center.
The ritual of heat and breath
The wet area includes an immersive journey where silence and innovation come together. From the Private Spa—with Finnish sauna, Turkish bath, and ice waterfall—to the sensory suspension of the Floating Tank, every detail is designed to accompany guests toward authentic and lasting balance.
In the Private Spa, guests rediscover balance through the enveloping heat of the Finnish sauna (80–100°C, ideal for stimulating the cardiovascular system and promoting sleep), the beneficial steam of the steam room (45°C, which purifies the skin and supports the respiratory tract) and the invigorating effect of the ice waterfall, which completes the cycle with a regenerating thermal shock. The experience is enriched by the Brain Trainer and the Starpool Spa System Pro, which guide you through mindfulness and conscious breathing exercises.
Alongside this path, the Floating Tank invites you to experience sensory floating: suspended in saline water, your body and mind are freed from all external stimuli, entering a state of deep relaxation. An experience that promotes energy recovery, improves sleep quality, and restores inner lightness.

The Regenerating Power of Cold
An intense and revitalizing opposite dimension comes to life in the cold zone designed by The Longevity Suite. Here, wellness is a complete journey that includes two single cabins, a couple’s cabin, and a cryosauna, where you can try different treatments, advanced aesthetics, rituals, and holistic massages. In addition to these experiences, the flagship treatment is the Cryosuite total body, which in just a few minutes at extreme temperatures awakens the body’s natural resources, accelerates the metabolism, improves circulation, and provides immediate lightness.
The antioxidant effect fights free radicals, stimulates collagen production, and promotes visible cell rejuvenation, with more toned and compact skin. An ideal program for those seeking energy, vitality, and well-being that is also reflected on the outside.
At the Laqua by the Lake SPA, purifying heat and regenerating cold become complementary languages. Cutting-edge technologies, sensory rituals, and empathetic hospitality intertwine to give guests an authentic, tailor-made, transformative experience.
Here, wellness is not just a break. It is a return. To oneself.
