The Wellness Peak

As if created & engineered by nature itself, the spa of the Miramonti Boutique Hotel is perched onto the mountainside with a forest as the backdrop canopy, created by Merano architects Heike Pohl and Andreas Zanier.

The absolute wow-factor is the salt-water pool of mountain infinity - it's like swimming on top of the Alps. Clever architecture has mimicked nature, wrapping the pool in ancient volcanic slabs and Pfitscher silver quartz adding a magical cave-like grotto effect. Another ingenious and luxury taming of nature is the steps-away Forest Sauna, backed by the dense woodlands. The designer pod rests on stilts with a floor-to-ceiling glass frontage dressed simply inside with bold black Hemlock adding a moody sense of visual drama. Outside, chillax in the Onsen pool. Meanwhile, an open fire sets the tone in the new Relaxation House where you can sink into nothingness with absolute ease.

A full gym and fitness studio offer in-house training, where guests can bespoke their needs out on the mountains, following forest trails or just a yoga session in that perfect natural haven. Being so intertwined with nature, Miramonti's Vitalis Spa?has partnered with the Italian Bollati family - creators of [ comfort zone ] run by Dr. Davide Bollati - Pharmacist & Cosmetic Chemist. Why so special? Well, under their motto of "Real Active Beauty" and ethical charter, [ comfort zone ] is a purist and a perfect match to the ethos of the Miramonti. The Vitalis Spa specialises in the use of the sacred medicinal plant Vervain (Verbena), said to harness the pure strength of nature.

One of the signature treatments uses the precious waters from Bagni di Pisa and the Miramonti's Verbena Porphyry Massage will make you not want to leave the bed. Being so close to Merano, you can't but help feel so blissfully far away when up at the spa - this is Forest Therapy touched by the mountains, as created by the Miramonti Boutique Hotel. ??
