Discover The World's Best Medical Spas

When Healing Holidays was set up many years ago by our owner and founder Frances Geoghegan, she wanted to work only with the best Medical Spas and brilliant doctors across the world — those offering exceptional diagnostics, innovative science, and technology-driven wellness.

Her goal was to help clients navigate this exciting but complex world of luxury medical spas, matching the right clinics and experts to individual needs. We are thrilled to say we now deliver on that promise, working exclusively with the world’s best medical spas, some of which are introduced below.

Palazzo Fiuggi, Italy

There is no question that Palazzo Fiuggi has been the most talked-about medical spa since it opened in 2021, and it has become a favourite among our discerning spa-goers.

Nestled within a private 8.5-hectare park overlooking the medieval spa town of Fiuggi, just an hour south of Rome, Palazzo Fiuggi marries deep-rooted holistic traditions with advanced Western medicine and state-of-the-art facilities, allowing you to truly relax, heal, and reset.

There are tailored programmes for Detox and Weight Loss, supported by an exquisite nutritional plan created by three-Michelin-star chef Heinz Beck. Food here is sustainable, organic, and locally sourced — much of it from the Palazzo’s own gardens.
