Forestis, high in the Dolomites of Italy, is a back-to-nature adults-only refuge fusing foraged cuisine with neo-pagan treatments and breathtaking hikes. It has opened a new lodge in the heart of the Plose mountains, offering pine-clad dwellings in a bosky setting.

Every single detail of this tranquil spot is created with CO2 neutrality in mind, from the delicate cuisine served to the 100% natural spa products and their zero-plastic policy. The building is heated with its own innovative plant and wood heating system, contributing to the retreat's label as 100% renewable energy powered.

Each of the 62 luxury suites are minimalist and airy. With bright morning light flooding in through windows framing the phenomenal panoramic views of the Dolomites. The Forestis Spa, with water sourced and recycled within it from the Prose Mountain, is a space for regeneration offering healing treatments inspired by the forest’s trees. As well as silent rooms, saunas and a pool made from dolomite rock.
