We prescribe a stay at Forestis, a former sanatorium turned cure-all hideaway with its head in the clouds (at 1,800 metres above sea level) in a particularly scenic patch of the Dolomites. The treatment: an ever-present view of a mighty massif, which can be seen from all the stylishly minimalist rooms; the restorative powers of the mineral-rich waters from the hotel’s spring; lungfuls of fresh mountain air; a temperate climate; and a generous helping of sun-filled days. But Gaia is aided by a spa that takes cues from the original wellness influencers, the ancient Celts, offering sauna sessions with spiritual sounds, druidic meditation, massages with healing woods, a Tyrolean take on yoga and a dip in the indoor-outdoor pool with one hell of a view. The stay operates in Earth-kind ways, serves hyper-local ‘forest cuisine’ and cocktails infused with spruce, larch or pine, served at the world’s highest bar too. 

  

Deep in the Dolomites, close to petite village Palmschoss on a slope of Plose ski resort, at an altitude of 1,800 metres, sits Forestis amid pine trees and frosty peaks.
