Signature Spa, vegan and organic luxury in Barcelona

Located on Carrer Trafalgar in Barcelona, just a few minutes from Plaça de Catalunya and Las Ramblas, you’ll find Spain’s first vegan and sustainable personal care centre, the Signature Spa. In addition to offering 100% plant-based treatments, it is set in a carefully designed environment, as it forms part of the Yurban Passage Hotel.

The space housing Signature Spa dates back to 1878, so the architectural intervention was minimal in order to respect the original building’s past. Visitors can enjoy a piece of the city’s history while swimming in a heated pool, as well as other facilities such as a sauna, steam bath, and individual and double treatment rooms.

Once the treatment is over, Signature offers the chance to enjoy the city views from the rooftop, where you can once again take a swim in an outdoor pool or have a drink in the chill out area.

The fact that this is a spa offering vegan treatments means that the products used contain no animal-derived ingredients in their formulations. Particularly noteworthy is the use of Scens and Freshly Cosmetics, two Spanish organic brands with 100% plant-based products.

Treatments are undoubtedly the most important part of this spa. One of them, Mediterranean Energy Lifting, won the Vida Estética Award for Best Signature Treatment in a Treatment Room 2018, showing that a vegan and organic treatment can compete at a high level with more conventional alternatives and even outperform them.
