Rosewood Villa Magna is a luxury hotel that overlooks Paseo de la Castellana, one of the major thoroughfares in the heart of Madrid, Spain. The stunning property has been thoughtfully refurbished to an elevated level of luxury, contemporary style, and modern amenities. With 154 spacious and residentially-styled guest rooms and suites, the hotel offers guests a chic, elegant, and calm haven of understated luxury.

In addition to being an inspiring culinary destination with a diverse selection of restaurants and bars, Rosewood Villa Magna welcomes guests to relax at Sense, A Rosewood Spa, the hotel’s on-site spa that is inspired by Madrid’s cultural traditions and practices. The urban sanctuary offers guests a holistic approach to wellness through its treatments and atmosphere with amenities that include therapy cabins, a steam room, a Finnish sauna, a hydrotherapy area complete with a shower and jacuzzi, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and an authentic Hammam.

Guests’ wellness journeys can also take them off property through programs that explore the city through a therapeutic lens such as the El Retiro Journey, which takes guests on a guided walk through one of the city’s largest parks and concludes with a relaxing foot-washing ritual and leg and foot massage.

We interviewed Luisa Martinez, Spa Manager at Rosewood Villa Magna, to learn more about treatments to try, insider tips, and more.

Why You’ll Love It: Guests especially love the high quality of our massages and facials combined with the warmth and luxurious services offered by the team during their visit to the spa.

Key Features: We have a wonderful hydrotherapy area with a Finnish sauna, jacuzzi, steam room, and sensory shower, as well as a relaxation room and changing rooms with lockers, which offers different amenities at guests’ disposal.

Snacks Served: We serve infused hibiscus, olive and bay leaf water, energy bars, and healthy snacks such as nuts and kale chips.

Insider’s Tip: We highly recommend the following steps to enhance the experience:

• Pre-treatment: Arrive 40 minutes before your treatment to use the wet facilities which will help relax your muscles and detoxify the system.

• During the treatment: Utilize one of the add-ons for your treatment like a 7-minute moisturizing lift face mask or eye patches, which revitalizes the skin as if you have had a mini facial.

• Post treatment: Take a shower using one of the shower capsules offered in the lockers rooms to complete the experience. These aromatic essential oils merge with the warm water of the shower to create a relaxing experience.

Bonus: Guests are welcomed with freshly made juices and an oshibori for refreshment. We also offer couples packages where they can enjoy a glass of champagne and romantic amenities in the relaxation area.

Splurge Treatment: I recommend The Grounding Ritual, which combines breathwork to soothe the nervous system and is a truly holistic approach to well-being. To rebalance the central nervous system, a rhythmical massage is performed at a slow and mindful pace focusing on the back, abdomen and feet, with the choice of organic aromatherapy oils, encouraging a deep state of relaxation. The ritual also includes the use of Gua Sha stones on the face, together with elements of reflexology to stimulate collagen production and support lymphatic drainage, thus completing this head-to-toe body ritual.

Unique Treatment: The Mayrit Hammam Ritual is our most unique treatment. The treatment is inspired by the beauty secrets of the Berbers and transports you to the Mediterranean orange fields. A thorough exfoliation using the traditional black soap and the Kessa glove leaves your skin silky soft. The rhassoul mask, argan oil, shea butter, and orange blossom water will purify, mineralize, and nurture the skin. Using gentle authentic Teksal movements (traditional Moroccan stretching technique) paired with the heat of the Hammam make your mind and body drift to a state of deep relaxation.

Insider’s Favorite: My favorite is the Bay Leaf Ritual, which consists of a stimulating foot soak, body scrub and body mask where bay leaf is mixed with other powerful ingredients. The ritual is completed with a personalized relaxing massage using Quiromassage elements (a traditional Spanish massage technique) and our delicious bay infusion created by a sommelier specially for this treatment.
