Alpine escapes for a restorative break

Alpenpalace Luxury Hideaway & Spa Retreat: Italian seclusion

For those seeking true privacy, the Ahrntal valley in the Italian Alps offers a different pace of life. Here, you will find the Alpenpalace Luxury Hideaway & Spa Retreat, a property that takes the concept of ‘getting away from it all’ seriously.

This is a place dedicated to refined wellness. The resort feels less like a hotel and more like a private estate. Each suite features a private balcony or terrace facing the mountains, ensuring your morning coffee is accompanied only by the sound of the wind in the trees. The Alpine Spa is vast, spanning 3,000 square metres, but it feels intimate thanks to its clever design. You can lose hours moving between the hot and cold therapy zones, soaking in pools, or experiencing signature treatments that use regional botanicals like mountain pine and juniper. With a resident chemist and hiking guide on hand, you can balance active mornings in the health-promoting altitude with afternoons of total relaxation.

Severin’s takes a bespoke approach to wellbeing. Their cutting-edge spa facilities combine traditional Austrian healing methods with modern therapies. Having won the SPA Star Award recently, the quality here is undeniable. Whether you are a couple seeking a romantic hideaway or a small group wanting to reconnect, the tailored service ensures your stay is exactly what you need it to be.
