6-Day Sensory Wellness Escape in the Italian Alps

The Sensorial Journey at Preidlhof is one of several transformational wellness programs at this five-star resort in South Tyrol. The program is built around a series of signature spa treatments that are designed to engage the senses in different ways. Over four days, you'll experience a Psycho Aroma Test & Aroma Massage, a Color Healing Massage & Color Test, a Sound & Quartz session, and the Deep Sea Room, along with a Kneipp Experience. Each treatment is led by the spa's team of therapists and lasts between 15 and 100 minutes.

What makes this retreat different from a standard spa break is the structured yet flexible approach. Treatments are scheduled in the afternoon, leaving mornings for yoga and breakfast at your leisure, and evenings for dinner and the hotel's sauna rituals. There are no fixed group activities, so you can adapt the program to how you feel on the day. The hotel's facilities are extensive: ten pools, a six-floor sauna tower, and two gyms, all set within 5,500 square meters of wellness space.

Preidlhof is run by the Ladurner family, with Klaus Ladurner at the helm for the past twenty years. It's a multi-award-winning destination that focuses on holistic, preventative health for adults. The resort is known for its research-driven programs, and some of the treatments here have been developed in-house. The setting is part of the appeal: the hotel sits at the base of the Texel Group Nature Park, near the town of Naturno, with the Dolomites as a backdrop. The mild climate means Mediterranean vegetation grows alongside alpine flora, and the waterfalls at Parcines are only a five-minute drive away.
