Some places seem to slow you down the moment you arrive. Monastero Santa Rosa was built for a quieter way of life, and centuries later that sense of calm still runs through the place. The atmospheric spa sits beneath original vaulted ceilings, drawing on Italian bathing traditions and the botanical heritage of Santa Maria Novella, while terraced gardens and an infinity pool offer wide-open views across the Amalfi Coast. For a programme devoted to deep relaxation, it's hard to imagine a more natural setting.
Return to Stillness: Deep Relaxation Programme
A restorative spa escape shaped by thermal bathing, mindful movement and deeply calming Santa Maria Novella rituals.

Return to Stillness
Return to Stillness is three days of warmth, water, restorative touch and gentle movement that gradually take you deeper into rest. Daily thermal bathing lets the body unwind at its own pace, while two of the spa's most deeply relaxing treatments use warm oils, aromatic botanicals and massage to ease tension and restore a sense of balance.
Yoga brings breath and gentle movement into the experience, with long stretches of time left free for the pool, gardens, gentle walks or an afternoon with no plans beyond finding somewhere beautiful to sit and watch the coast below.

The Package
What's Included
Warmth & Water
The ritual of thermal bathing
Daily Thermal Suite Access
Take time each day to move through the monastery's vaulted Thermal Suite, from the natural stone sauna and aromatic steam room to the warm hydrotherapy pool. Emotion showers and crushed ice provide cooling contrasts, before heated mosaic loungers and pomegranate-infused foot spas invite you to rest for a while.
Restore & Release
Warmth, scent and touch
Light a Candle — 80 minutes
An aromatic powder scrub of iris or bitter orange prepares the skin before warm Santa Maria Novella candle wax, made from pure plant oils and rich emollient butters, is poured onto the body and worked into the skin through a deeply relaxing massage. The soothing warmth and delicate scent of spice help restore the body's natural biorhythm after travel while encouraging a sense of calm and balance. Your Santa Maria Novella candle and ceramic holder are yours to take home.
Relaxation and Peace — 80 minutes
A deeply nourishing full-body massage using your choice of Santa Maria Novella aromatic oil. Therapeutic touch helps release physical tension and encourage deep relaxation, while the oils leave the skin soft, supple and nourished.
Move Gently
Breath, awareness and mindful movement
Yoga
Yoga brings gentle movement into the programme through breath and awareness practices designed to support balance, flexibility and a greater sense of connection between body and mind. Suitable for all levels, it offers a natural counterpoint to the warmth and stillness of the spa.
Tailoring & Duration
We recommend allowing three nights for Return to Stillness, giving enough space between treatments to enjoy the Thermal Suite, gardens and wider hotel without your days feeling overly scheduled.
Additional massage, facial and body treatments can be added for guests who would like more dedicated spa time, with the Spa Manager able to tailor treatments around individual needs and preferences.
