DIOR SPA AT GRAND HOTEL TIMEO, A BELMOND HOTEL, TAORMINA: THE MAISON’S FIRST PERMANENT SPA IN SICILY OPENS ITS DOORS

JUNE 2026 – Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina, unveils a new chapter in its collaboration with Dior, with the launch of a permanent Dior Spa in Summer 2026. Nestled in the historical gardens of Grand Hotel Timeo, this new sanctuary of serenity marks a significant milestone, extending Dior's Haute Wellness philosophy into the heart of one of Sicily's most iconic and legendary properties.



This exclusive wellness retreat offers guests the opportunity to indulge in High-Tech & High-Touch treatments, or embark on a curated Wellness Villeggiatura experience, each designed to capture the essence of Dior Wellness with Sicilian art de vivre and guided by Belmond’s Slow Luxury ethos.





DIOR’S FIRST PERMANENT SPA IN SICILY


The Dior Spa at Grand Hotel Timeo continues the hotel’s legacy as an icon of style and hospitality, with four treatment rooms set within the grande dame’s lush, terraced gardens. This new Spa is an ode to the contemporary elegance and timeless heritage of the property; the hotel's architectural elements, such as its Sicilian mosaic floors, harmoniously blend with Dior Spa's iconic codes, utilising natural materials like stone, onyx, and pale-hued woods. The four exclusive cabins – Diorazur, Diorama, Rosa dei Venti, and the elegant Isola Bella Suite – envelop guests in an atmosphere of infinite serenity. The Isola Bella Suite, designed for treatments for two, includes a beauty room for customised make-up sessions and an infrared sauna, ideal for muscle relaxation and detoxification.

HAUTE WELLNESS: A HOLISTIC TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY


Dior's Haute Wellness philosophy – a delicate fusion of High Definition, High Touch expertise and cutting-edge High-Technologies, for the most beautiful non-invasive transformation - is expressed through a bespoke approach, with a treatment menu that includes the signature Talisman of Vitality treatment, inspired by lithotherapy and Ayurveda, designed for deep revitalisation and energetic rebalancing. Each guest is invited to choose a semi-precious Sicilian gem as a guiding talisman, whose energy diffuses during the ritual, with soothing and purifying stones. The menu is complemented by Dior's iconic Face treatments, combining the expertise of facialist Hadda Akrim with cutting-edge innovations. Body treatments such as New Look, D-Tissue, Constellation, and 9 Moons are available, along with emblematic face protocols like Kobi-Dior, Golden Aura, and Dior Powered by Hydrafacial.



The Dior Wellness experience at Grand Hotel Timeo also extends to its naturalistic setting, with a personalised holistic programme: Dior Wellness Villeggiatura. Co-created with Global Dior Wellness Experts, Byrony Deery, Pilates specialist, and Rose Ferguson, a nutrition expert and functional medicine practitioner, this harmonious programme celebrates vitality. Blending the wisdom of anti-inflammatory movement with the revitalising approach of hormesis to strengthen balance and illuminate presence, Dior Wellness Villeggiatura offers deep regeneration and renewed vitality.

TIMELESS ITALIAN INSPIRATION


Italy, an eternal muse for Monsieur Dior, has consistently offered a profound wellspring of inspiration, shaping his sculptural vision of fashion and perfume, far from Parisian melancholy. Showcasing the Sicilian art of living, this epicurean retreat reflects the Italy that Monsieur Dior adored. Grand Hotel Timeo's lush landscapes echo the Château de la Colle Noire, while its Greek and Baroque artistry - embodied by the Teatro Antico - captures theatricality and spectacle. Together, they weave an invisible thread between the couturier and this iconic spot. Celebrated for its cinematic legacy, Taormina resonates deeply with the couturier's world, having ignited the creative sparks of icons from Claudia Cardinale to Alain Delon, both enduring muses of the House of Dior.


A true Sicilian jewel, nestled in the hills of Taormina, overlooking Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea, Grand Hotel Timeo is steeped in Sicilian glamour. A place where old and new worlds harmonise, where the breathtaking views that once inspired great artists still enchant like nowhere else.

Dior Spa at Grand Hotel Timeo opens from 22nd June 2026 both to guests and the public daily from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. For a full list of treatments, please find the

ABOUT GRAND HOTEL TIMEO, A BELMOND HOTEL, TAORMINA


Carved into the rocky hills of Sicily’s East coast, nestled between uninhibited views of the Mount Etna volcano, Naxos Bay and the ancient Greek Theatre, Grand Hotel Timeo was the first hotel to open in Taormina in 1873. In its over 150-year history, the hotel has been an artist’s paradise, famed for its Literary Terrace, where in 1920 DH Lawrence was inspired to write his masterpiece Lady Chatterley’s Lover. Having attended the celebrated Taormina Film Festival, many of Hollywood’s elite could be found enjoying La Dolce Vita on this lavish terrace – among them Cary Grant, Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn. Home to one of the greatest views in the world, guests can enjoy a variety of culinary experiences curated by Chef Roberto Toro, from local authentic cuisine at Ristorante Timeo, to Michelin-starred dining at intimate Otto Geleng restaurant. The hotel boasts 67 rooms and Suites, divided between the main building and Villa Timeo, most with terraces or balconies with views over the coastline, surrounded by six-acres of lush gardens, a panoramic pool, with an adjoining pool grill restaurant, and a brand-new Dior Spa. Nearby, patrician Villa Timeo – a 21-room retreat designed by interior architect Laura Gonzalez - offers the legendary warmth of Sicilian hospitality via a curated, self-contained experience with all the benefits of the hotel’s amenities. Guests have access to a private beach club at Villa Sant’Andrea, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina Mare, via a complimentary shuttle that runs to the secluded Bay of Mazzaro.
