In the hotel’s own words

Luxury, Health, and Enjoyment: Hand in Hand

Read moreShow less

"Taking care of yourself is the best way to take care of others." Following the guidance of author Brian McGill, Villa Eden embodies this philosophy. Recognized for its outstanding spa concept and as the best destination spa in Europe, this exceptional refuge, nestled in a private park with only 25 exquisite suites, ranks among the world's leading retreat hotels.

Personally managed as a Leading Hotel of the World, Villa Eden is a special place for discerning guests seeking relaxation without compromising on luxury. Guests have the freedom to indulge in the wonderful oasis of a luxury hotel, pampered by the highest standards of hospitality, or to transform and realign themselves with the first-class, multi-award-winning Eden’s Health Longevity concept.

Managing owner Angelika Schmid enlisted top Italian designers for the complete renovation of the historic estate. Through meticulous craftsmanship, the former private villa was transformed into an award-winning adults-only retreat, now a member of the Leading Hotels of the World. The retreat features 25 luxurious suites, three restaurants, a globally recognized Med-Spa, and extensive wellness facilities. All of this is set within a centuries-old park adorned with Lebanese cedars, cypresses, and palm trees, providing the property with soothing tranquility and privacy.
