Wellness among the trees: My Arbor, the treehouse hotel in South Tyrol

Do you want to really disconnect from the world? At wellness hotel My Arbor you've come to the right place. No work, no hustle and bustle, no worries at all—just the rustling of the trees around you. Because you're literally staying between the treetops, in the very first tree house hotel in South Tyrol.

The architecture is impressive, as the hotel is built on 25-meter stilts, as if it were standing on trees. Modern and minimalist, without any noise—completely in tune with the nature around you. But make no mistake, no primitive treehouse vibes here—this is next level luxury and exclusivity. Let us tell you more.

Ultimate relaxation

Everything around you contributes to the serene atmosphere: surrounded by nature, the quiet and spacious interior, the use of local, natural materials, the feeling of privacy, the great staff, the (outdoor) activities, and of course the real star of the show: 2500m2 of wellness. Everyone comes here for one thing: peace. Because wherever you are in the hotel, your head immediately switches to chill mode.

On top of a hill, in the middle of the Italian Dolomites, you will find this wellness pearl. Only 50 minutes drive from Bolzano and an hour from the Austrian border. Are you coming purely for the spa? Then a long weekend is perfect for a big reset. But stay a full week, and you will have all the time to not only lie down but also go to the slopes or the forest.

My Arbor

Good to know: this hotel is adults only, okay from 13 years and older.

SPA Arboris

This wonderful hotel is all about relaxation. On a huge surface you will find no less than five spacious saunas, where you can choose from: medium hot (bio sauna), hot (wood sauna), or mega hot (forest sauna). Or relax after swimming in the not so hot 40 degree sauna. The steam bath is perfect to open up your airways, and the ice-cold plunge pool , Wim Hof is for the real daredevils or health freaks.

More of the nice warm bubbling away, that is also possible in the outdoor whirlpool. You will find all this in the naked only area at -2. Although you can always keep your towel on - still nice! For a more active relaxation you can swim laps in the indoor and outdoor pool (connected) at -1: these with pants on.

In addition, there are endless places to relax: from quiet indoor spaces and outdoor loungers with mountain views, to cosy corners to chill out together or solo. The heated private cocoons outside offer the perfect place for those who really want to be alone in the world. Or you can snuggle up in your hotel room, which offers the ultimate hideaway is.

And then there are at least four sauna infusions a day—really something different from the norm. This is with snowballs of mountain water with infusions of essential oils on those hot stones. As usual, the sauna master waves the towel to spread the scent and heat well, and as finishing touch you get an ice cold dessert. Outside the sauna of course. Wink.

Rooms

The rooms have everything you need. The best part? The bed is so comfortable you won’t want to leave it. There’s also a comfortable lounge sofa (almost a full-fledged bed, actually) by the window—the perfect place to read a book (yes, leave that laptop at home), gaze out the window, or have a cozy movie night on the flatscreen. You’ll definitely relax!

All rooms have a top bathroom with a rain shower, lovely soaps, enough cupboard space so you don't have to live out of your suitcase, and a minibar filled with good stuff. This is all standard. The 'Nest' is 38m2, the 'Hangout' is 46m2 and offers two spaces—one for chilling and one for sleeping. Or go for the ultimate luxury in the 'tree top': 100m2 (bigger than the average apartment in Amsterdam!) with a private sauna and bath. We could spend a month here!

And yes, the hotel is top-notch design—you probably already noticed. You don’t just build a hotel among the trees. Everything has been thought out down to the smallest detail, from the layout of the rooms to the smallest details. A rather large and fine detail: all rooms face south. So the sun will shine!

Chef's kiss

What is a real holiday? For us, it is really good food. Half board is included in the price of your hotel room, so you get an extensive breakfast—both buffet and à la carte. believe us, that's extensive—decision stress guaranteed! If that's the worst part of your vacation, you really have nothing to complain about. Go for a healthy (vegetable) shot, or a glass of bubbles is also allowed. It's a vacation after all!

And then dinner. Five courses, a party every day, with an emphasis on seasonal products from the region. If a dish is not entirely to your taste, you simply choose something else. “We can talk endlessly about how delicious all the food is, hat! And besides the fact that it tastes good, everything also looks like a work of art.

The goal is of course unwind and relax. And we prefer to do that with a good glass of wine in hand—with the emphasis on good. The wine list? You can't wait for that. Not sure what goes well with your meal? No problem, the sommelier is right there in front of you to help you.

Plose ski area

Finished bathing? There is plenty to do: skiing is definitely an option! With a nice ski path (350 meters and you are there) you can glide straight to the gondola of the Plose ski area. Yes, My Arbor even has a ski-in/ski-out. The ski area has 42 km of slopes—not too difficult, gondola up, and you're guaranteed snow.

Or join in the activity program: from yoga to forest walks, both winter and summer this is a true hiking paradise. Cycling in the area is also beautiful in the summer. Or explore Brixen/Bressanone, the South Tyrolean town nearby.
