UNCONVENTIONAL WELLNESS FESTIVAL — THE RETURN
- 5 – 8 November 2026 • Montegrotto Terme (PD) •
Four days dedicated to the theme of Return: to sleep, to the earth, to yourself. Neró Festival 2026 offers a journey structured in stages, inspired by the new Neró Spa Retreats, blending water and heat rituals, yoga, breathwork and musical moments. An experience that guides body and mind along a path of rediscovery.
THE PATH OF RETURN
The festival unfolds along a three-stage journey: the Threshold, marking the entrance into the journey; the retreat days, each with its own theme; and the Farewell, the closing moment entrusted to the thermal water.
- Thursday 5 November (evening) — The Threshold, festival opening
- Friday 6 November — Morpheus, the return to sleep
- Saturday 7 November — Origin, the return to the earth
- Sunday 8 November — Ulysses, the return to oneself
Each day follows the same rhythm: morning wake-up activities, the defining moments of the day, an evening farewell before the off-site and musical proposals of the night.
AN OASIS OF WELLNESS IN THE EUGANEAN HILLS
The thermal baths and the Neró Spa New Experience path are set in the Euganean Hills, where nature and tranquility come together to create the ideal environment for wellness. Breathtaking landscapes surround the resort, a perfect setting for relaxation and regeneration. The gentle hills and natural beauty of the surroundings add a magical touch to the whole experience.
Special Guest: Francesca Senette
A professional journalist, lifestyle coach and RYT 500 certified yoga teacher, Francesca Senette is the special guest of the Unconventional Wellness Festival. Author of “Il piccolo libro dello yoga” and co-founder of Trybe, a project that brings yoga to hotels, companies and museums, she will lead three classes open to festival guests: Friday 6, Saturday 7 and Sunday 8, from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
EVERY DAY HAS A NAME, A RHYTHM, A THRESHOLD TO CROSS
Four days in which the resort shifts its rhythm. Activities unfold from morning into night — movement, sound, warmth, silence — and each day carries its own theme, shaping its rhythm and ritual.
You can choose how much time to dedicate to the experience: a full day, an evening only, or a day culminating in one of Neró Spa’s signature Rituals.

Sleep rediscovered
Morfeo · Friday 6 November
Morfeo is the Retreat designed to guide the body towards deep stillness. A path that seeks not energy but surrender, taking shape as the light begins to fade.
The experience opens with the Morfeo circuit inside the Neró Spa water circuit: warm steam, hypersaline floating and temazcal in a sequence built to gradually reduce sensory stimulation. No thermal contrast, no awakening.
At the heart of the Retreat is the Morfeo Ritual, a Vietnamese brush technique whose light, repetitive and enveloping touches guide the body into deep relaxation. Warm Osmanthus oil completes the experience with its signature scent.
€ 160 by day (09:30–24:00*) · € 140 by evening (18:00–24:00*) per person
* Activities continue until 24:00. After this time, changing rooms and showers are no longer accessible.

The return to the earth
Origine · Saturday 7 November
Origine is the Retreat dedicated to the earth, to its silent strength and its capacity to welcome. A path for those who wish to slow down and reconnect with what is essential.
The experience opens with the Origine circuit inside the Neró Spa water circuit: a sequence of heat, mineral salt, floating and steam that prepares the body for its encounter with matter.
At the heart of the Retreat is the Origine Ritual, dedicated to the prized DOC mud of the Euganean Hills, matured for sixty days in thermal waters. A corn flour peeling prepares the skin, the mud envelops the body and a draining Osmanthus massage closes the path with a slow, enveloping gesture.
€ 215 by day (09:30–24:00*) · € 195 by evening (18:00–24:00*) per person
* Activities continue until 24:00. After this time, changing rooms and showers are no longer accessible.

The return to oneself
Ulisse · Sunday 8 November
Ulisse is the Retreat for those who feel the need to return to their own body. Not a path of performance, but of listening: the work concerns deep flows and perception, not muscular tension.
The experience opens with the Ulisse circuit inside the Neró Spa water circuit, where heat and cold alternate to gradually reawaken bodily perception. Here the body does not fall asleep: it finds itself again.
At the heart of the Retreat is the Ulisse Ritual, which works on the meridians of Chinese medicine following the natural movement of the joints. Each gesture follows its own time, without force and without haste, while warm Osmanthus oil turns contact into an invitation to presence.
€ 160 by day (09:30–24:00*) · € 140 by evening (18:00–24:00*) per person
* Activities continue until 24:00. After this time, changing rooms and showers are no longer accessible.
