We’re honoured to share that we have been featured in the ELLE Spa Guide 2026, recognised among “The Best Spas in the World for the Ultimate Wellness Escape”.
As the new year begins, this recognition feels especially meaningful, a reflection of our dedication to holistic wellbeing and transformative mind–body–soul experiences.
Here’s to a year of balance, inspiration, and wellness.
Redefining wellbeing through design, @naolongevity at @minospalaceresort takes home the Spa & Wellness award at AHEAD Europe 2025.
Nao Longevity Hub transforms the resort into a curated world of longevity and personal growth. Fluid circulation, sculptural forms, and earthy textures guide guests on a journey from external exploration to internal reflection. The spiral motif informs the architecture, while immersive pavilions, meditative gardens, and bespoke materials create a holistic sanctuary for emotional, physical, and spiritual renewal. The design balances warmth with minimalism, delivering a luxurious and inclusive experience that responds to both guests and the local community.
"Judges praised Nao for its innovative approach to medical wellbeing, noting the warmth of its spaces and the thoughtful integration of services and design. The project was recognised for striking an excellent balance between immersive wellness experiences and architectural storytelling, demonstrating a fresh perspective on what a contemporary spa can achieve." @ahead_awards Committee.
