Blue Moon Spa
A blue-hued spa at Florence's Moon Hotel: coal-stone sauna, salt wall, a hot-and-cold sensory path and globe-spanning treatments from Thai to Lomi-Lomi.
Blue Moon Spa makes a virtue of its colour. Bathed in royal blue and a warm, Aurelian light, the spa at Florence’s Moon Hotel is a genuine sight for sore eyes, and, by design, for sore muscles too.
It is comprehensively equipped. Alongside the coal-stone sauna and the Jacuzzi sits a salt wall, and a Sensory Path that moves the body between hot and cold pools: a circuit built to reset rather than simply soothe. There is also an emotional shower, perfumed with essential oils and engineered to lift the spirits rather than, despite the name, the tear ducts.
When you are ready to be properly looked after, the spa’s purpose-built cabins host one-to-one treatments. The therapy menu travels widely (Thai, Maori and Lomi-Lomi styles among them), so a visit can be tailored to whatever the body is asking for that day.
What gives Blue Moon its character is atmosphere. Many city spas are competent; fewer have a distinct sense of place. The blue light and considered design make this one feel like an experience rather than an errand.
For a traveller in Florence who wants a spa afternoon with real personality (thermal circuits, a calming palette, and treatments drawn from across the world), Blue Moon Spa is an easy recommendation. Walk the Sensory Path first, then book a cabin and let someone else take over.
