SIX SENSES DOURO VALLEY

Portugal 

Settings don’t get much more postcard-worthy than that at Six Senses Douro Valley, a wellness haven set in a reimagined 19th-century manor house on a hill enveloped by the region’s characteristic Touriga Franca vines. Serene rooms aside, this property offers one of Europe’s most immersive cultural programs, with diversions ranging from private picnics and wine tastings to learning the art of Portuguese tile painting. Programs help improve sleep and help you age more holistically. sixsenses.com

Specialities Sleep therapy, naturopathy, breath work, reflexology, osteopathy.

BÜRGENSTOCK RESORT 

Switzerland 

The extravagant Bürgenstock Resort has four hotels, a nine-hole golf course, 12 restaurants and one of Switzerland’s most opulent wellness retreats. Regardless of where you check in you’re given access to the knockout Alpine Spa, set across three levels with floor-to-ceiling windows emphasising its mountain-eyrie magnificence. Have a hot stone massage or La Prairie facial, then glide back to your room. If you’re staying in the resort’s Waldhotel Spa, you have a spa enclave to yourself. burgenstockresort.com
