Winter spa destinations to nourish your body and soul
There are four seasons but two types of people regarding weather. On the one hand, the “cozy crew” defines happiness by being wrapped in sweaters, scarves, and fuzzy socks, enjoying the inwardness of the cold. On the other hand, we have the “sun seekers”. The ones that thrive in the warmth of summer blossom under the golden hues and only refer to the fourth season of the year to seek winter sun getaways.
There’s no correct answer to define comfort, but if you ever daydream about tropical paradises, sandy shores, sunny cities, and lighter clothes, we have you covered. For those wishing to trade the winter chill for sunshine, we invite you to uncover some of the warmest winter destinations that will fulfil your wish for an idyllic escape.

A place to retreat and recharge where the natural surroundings invite you to embrace the suspension of time and fill it with emotional and physical mindfulness.
At 1,800m above sea level, The Forestis Dolomites live by the motto “the art of simplicity,” and they have indeed mastered it. The four natural elements shine through the tasteful but minimal architecture, creating a unique atmosphere. The pure spring water, the fresh mountain air, the sunshine, and the mild climate have always drawn people to Palmschoss, but these four elements are now also the foundation of the Forestis Dolomites’ essence.
Their spa has embedded the inspiration from the Celts’ natural doctrine and combines these four elements of nature with four trees, four healing woods, the four healing stones, and the four tree frequencies. As a result, they offer a range of treatments tailored to your individual needs by expert therapists.
The treatment rooms were designed to match the perfect, minimal design and focus highly on the acoustic so you can be fully immersed in the healing therapies.
Both movement and relaxation are encouraged through a plethora of activities available inside and outside throughout the seasons. In winter, you can ski, snowshoe, hike, jog, bike, or take advantage of the stylish fitness room. Connect with the magical Wyda — the yoga of the Celts in a room carefully arranged to promote energy balance or immerse in deep meditation in the Silence Room. Although perfect year-round, this is a magical choice for a winter escape holiday.
