Since 2012, Starpool’s spa_system®* has redefined wellness by optimising spa environments. Now, the company unveils spa_system® pro**, an advanced iteration developed with hydrotherapy and sports medicine experts, backed by over a decade of research.

By seamlessly integrating heat, water, mindfulness, zero gravity, cryotherapy and rest, Starpool has designed four targeted wellness treatments that enhance both body and mind.

Each journey incorporates a curated selection of Starpool’s specialised products and equipment arranged in precisely structured sequences to maximise their benefits. To further elevate the experience, Starpool has developed reusable, programme-specific wristbands – personalised for each wellness journey. The waterproof bracelets feature intuitive symbols and timing guidance, ensuring guests can effortlessly navigate their tailored wellness path.

A new frontier in cognitive wellness
Cognitive health is a rising priority in the wellness industry and spa_system pro introduces the Brain Room, a new space for mental training. The room integrates mindfulness and breathwork to enhance focus and reduce stress.

The Brain Room is available in two configurations: Classic and Elite. Both are equipped with Starpool’s Brain Trainer, a virtual audio wellness coach system that offers dedicated brain training exercises tailored to the guest’s selected wellness programme.

The Elite version elevates the offering with Zerobody Dry Float, a flotation bed that simulates the effects of zero gravity.

Personalised wellness pathways
Spa_system pro offers four programmes:

• Stress Management: to rebalance both body and mind, reduce stress and strengthen resilience.

• Longevity: to promote long-term health, slow the ageing process and strengthen the immune system.

• Performance: to relax muscles, reduce tension and improve energy and concentration.

• Sleep: to release tension, slow heart rate and create the ideal conditions for deep relaxation.

A scientific approach
Starpool CEO Riccardo Turri said: “True wellness is a philosophy and a journey toward balance and health. With research and collaboration, we’ve redefined spa experiences to be holistic, impactful, and sustainable.”
Spa_system pro blends traditional spa elements with cutting-edge wellness science, empowering professionals to deliver personalised, results-driven solutions that transform relaxation into lasting wellbeing for body and mind.
