Sustainable, luxury and wellness are three keywords that define the soon-to-be-opened FORESTIS retreat in South Tyrol.

FORESTIS is a conceptual new 5* Tyrolean mountain retreat, and it officially opens its doors on 20 May 2020.

Located in South Tyrol, on the Southern slope of the Plose mountain at 1800 metres above sea level, FORESTIS sits amongst a dense mountain forest where all 62 suites have panoramic views of the massif of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites.

The new luxury hideaway inspires year-round relaxation and regeneration, with a focus on time, nature and simplicity.

FORESTIS, the vision of Stefan Hinteregger and his partner Teresa Unterthiner, are inviting guests to reconnect with their body and soul and embrace nature, surrounded by the four elements of pure spring water, pristine mountain air, countless hours of sunshine and a mild climate.

South Tyrolean architect Armin Sader and the FORESTIS interior team have re-interpreted the original traditional architecture to create a CO2-neutral construction within a natural atmosphere through the use of native materials.

This emphasises the isolated location and contemplative connection of FORESTIS with nature. Energy is 100% renewably sourced.

FORESTIS and its 62 luxury suites fully embrace nature due to the property’s southern exposure and unobstructed view of the Dolomites. The retreat will also introduce guests to an extensive range of year-round packages and curated experiences, from Wyda Celtic yoga to a ski-in/ski-out experience.

The FORESTIS Spa treatments follow the principle of four native trees: mountain pine, spruce, larch and Swiss pine and head chef Roland Lamprecht will introduce ‘Forest Cuisine’, adding variety, naturalness and authenticity.

Teresa Unterthiner and Stefan Hinteregger, owners at FORESTIS, commented, “We have conceived FORESTIS as a refuge for relaxation and a place for strength, for people all over the world, in the place we have been fortunate enough to call home.

We want to share the beauty of the mountains, climate, water, air, and sun to enrich our guest’s well-being and this space of power that can be felt, experienced and seen.”
