WHEN well-being CALLS

From running alongside a glacier-fed lagoon in Iceland, to treatments in an ancient forest in the Himalayan foothills, these epic 25 wellness experiences are the epitome of transformative travel. Which will you choose?

1. LEFAY RESORT & SPA DOLOMITI

Could wellness goals get any better than a temple in the heart of Trentino, northern Italy? Lefay Resort & Spa Dolomiti is nestled in the Dolomite mountains, spread across 5,000 square metres and four levels, making it one of the largest spas in the Alps. Hugged by alpine trees, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed site has a pool that organically blends into the landscape. In winter the salt grotto and glass wall sauna overlook the snow-capped trees.

Choose ‘The Scents Of The Forest’ package for a full immersion in the location using products from the forest, its waters and minerals, mud and medicinal plants from Trentino-Alto Adige. Treatments blend an East and West philosophy of beauty with an à la carte menu using the in-house Lefay SPA Cosmetic Line, Tra Suoni e Colori. Lie back in one of 20 ‘cabins’ and let the wellness begin. dolomiti.lefayresorts.com
