Starpool: 50 years of pioneering wellness innovation

We remain committed to evolving the culture of wellness worldwide
– Riccardo Turri
Credit: Starpool

Starpool is proudly celebrating 50 years of innovation in the wellness industry, a journey that began in 1975 with founder Ardelio Turri’s vision. Initially dedicated to constructing pools and installing saunas for hotels, Starpool was established with the mission of promoting psychophysical wellbeing.

Over the decades, the company has evolved, introducing advanced designs and technologies that have redefined the wellness experience.

Continuing its legacy, Starpool has expanded its offerings to include pioneering products such as Zerobody Dry Float – which allows users to float in warm water without getting wet – and Zerobody Cryo which provides a gradual introduction to cold therapy.

Under current CEO Riccardo Turri's leadership, Starpool has emerged as a global pioneer, supported by a dedicated Scientific Research Department that validates the efficacy of its innovative products.

Today, Starpool presents a variety of unique formats: Recovery Class, which combines heat, cold therapy and dry flotation; Longevity Spa, integrating advanced technologies with tailored preventive health programs; and spa_system* pro, a scientific method to optimise wellness environments.

With more than 4,000 installations in 83 countries, Starpool stands as a global leader in wellness, inspired by a commitment to continuous research, design and enhancing quality of life.

As the company looks to the future, it remains dedicated to exploring new trends and expanding the culture of wellness worldwide.

Riccardo Turri said: "Over these 50 years, many words could define Starpool — wellness, innovation, research, design and community. But if I had to choose just one, it would be continuity.

"Anniversaries like this inspire us to look back on a remarkable journey fueled by the passion and dedication of countless individuals, all united by a shared mission: to enhance the quality of life for others. And as we look ahead, we remain committed to evolving the culture of wellness worldwide."
