The History of Spa Moritz
Our legacy at Spa Moritz comes from the oldest known European health resort dating back to 1466 BC. The spa church of Saint Mauritius, in St. Moritz is one of the most renowned destinations in the whole of Europe. Pioneers of natural medicine such as the Swiss Paracelsus and Italian Malacrida praised the wonderful healing treatments that were developed in St. Moritz the birthplace of Europe’s first wellness resort.
The springs at St. Moritz, Switzerland are the highest-altitude mineral springs in Europe. Along with the Alpine moor mud and strongly invigorating Alpine climate of the upper Engadine, the naturally curative carbonated mineral springs have made St. Moritz a place of healing for over three thousand years. At Spa Moritz we have drawn from our European heritage to create the finest day spa in Tampa Bay.
Ultimately, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, all of Europe’s most notable princes, kings and physicians made yearly pilgrimages to the Engadine to be treated by spa masseuses who developed the world’s leading medical therapies which today form the tradition of Spa Moritz’s culture. This is what separates Spa Moritz and our experienced therapists from other commercial American spas. At Spa Moritz we follow a proud tradition of formulating individual wellness programs for each of our guests. |
