Award-winning luxury spa RAKxa Wellness has branched out to Italy’s Castelfalfi resort — and some famous faces are already its biggest fans.
Models Kate Moss, Jourdan Dunn and Imaan Hammam and author Deepak Chopra have been flocking to the European retreat that focuses on holistic wellness, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
Building on the success of the RAKxa Wellness Spa, Thailand’s retreat opened its doors at Castelfalfi in March and is now giving lucky visitors the chance to prioritize their well-being while looking out at Tuscany’s idyllic landscapes with a series of new autumnal packages.
The treatments take place at Castelfalfi, an exclusive five-star resort featuring elegant rooms and exquisite suites in the heart of Tuscany.
Celebrities who have already paid a visit (or two!) to the world-class spa include several models who walked in the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Hammam, who strutted down the iconic runway in a pale pink tulle robe, visited the wellness retreat in the lead up to the Oct. 15 show.
The 28-year-old focused on a series of bespoke treatments to ensure she was prepared for the New York City event. She brought along her friend and fellow model Cindy Bruna for the experience.
The retreat proved popular among other models, including Dunn, who has already visited Castelfalfi’s RAKxa retreat solo twice. Her first visit was on New Year’s Eve, while her second trip was to ring in her 34th birthday in August.
Moss, 50, also enjoyed a visit with actress Pom Klementieff as guests of 78-year-old Chopra, who hosted a star-studded five-night retreat earlier this year.
The group focused on rebalancing the mind and body through RAKxa’s signature integrative wellness approach overlooking 2,700 acres of sprawling natural expanse.
Each guest at the retreat receives a personalized treatment program that combines traditional and modern medicine in RAKxa’s five pillars of wellness: exercise, diet, stress management, rest and rehabilitation.
Beginning with integrative diagnosis, each bespoke treatment focuses on the individual’s needs and goals that they want to achieve.
From one-day experiences and two-day retreats to the more holistic four-day rebalance journey, each wellness experience had been curated to enhance the guest experience at Castelfalfi.
The year-round retreats offer revitalizing seasonal experiences that include nature hikes, archery, tennis, truffle hunting, wine or olive oil tastings depending on the season.
The resort also features swimming pools and a 27-hole golf course — the largest in Tuscany.
Guests can also enjoy wellness welcome amenities, such as essential oils to promote restful sleep and energizing snacks to sustain them throughout the day.
Lodgers choose from various durations, including two days for a deeper immersion or a plush four-day rebalance package for the full experience.
A standard one-day retreat starts at $400, while the two-day option is $740. If you opt for the full four-day experience, it will set you back $1,490.
The holistic approach blends therapies like Traditional Thai medicine, Ayurveda, physiotherapy and energy healing, while Castelfalfi offers up an unbeatable landscape equipped with vineyards and olive groves.
The opulent hotel, where Justin Bieber once stayed, also boasts six restaurants and a Tuscan adventure park complete with a Tibetan bridge.
