It is no coincidence: to discuss important and crucial issues such as war, immigration and international security, there is no place more ideal than an oasis of peace, nature and well-being.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who convened the 50th G7 summit on 13-15 June last, is well aware of this. Borgo EgnaziaPuglia, Italy. The event brings together as usual the leaders of the seven Member States, as well as the President of the European Council and the President of the European Commission.
The resort is located in the Itria Valley, between the blue Adriatic Sea and endless ancient olive groves. It is a worldwide symbol of hospitality and actively contributes to the growth of Puglia as a high-end tourist destination. Since 2010, Borgo Egnazia offers a unique concept of hospitality based on the millenary culture of the region, as well as a visionary and contemporary interpretation of tradition.
Borgo Egnazia is not simply a spa on a golf course; it is the ideal setting for seeking new inspiration and a deeper connection with body and mind, through experiences rooted in nature and local culture.
Key sessions at the G7 summit have focused on Africa, climate change and development; conflict in the Middle East; the war in Ukraine; migration; Indo-Pacific economic security; and artificial intelligence and energy in Africa and the Mediterranean.
Pope Francis also made an appearance (making him the first pontiff to attend a G7 Summit) and spoke about artificial intelligence.
The privately owned Borgo Egnazia resort places great emphasis on wellness and is home to the award-winning 1,800 sqm Vair Spa. With a mission to maximise each guest's sense of happiness, the spa offers treatments aimed at relieving physical and emotional tension, including laughter therapy, along with a variety of spa rituals inspired by the Puglia region.
The beating heart of the Vair Spa is its authentic Roman candlelit bathing journey, featuring a caldarium (hot bath), a tepidarium (warm bath) and a frigidarium (cold bath).
Additional facilities include a wet area with sauna, steam bath, relaxation room, whirlpool and ice fountain, as well as a nail laboratory, a gym and a heated indoor swimming pool.
